Bailey Creek,5759 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 As the Title says i have a pair of single Sixes in 32 Mag. I also have a Marlin in 32-20. Am wondering if anyone knows of someone , that can make a pair of Cylinders and rechamber them to 32-20 . Not the 32 mag cylinders i have. These pistols are Blued not Stainless . Maybe 22 or 22Mag , cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patagonia Pete Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I used to have a pair of those ... but don't now so I can't measure ... but ... The case of the 32-20 is almost 1/4 inch exactly ... longer than a 32 H&R mag ... and ... it seems like the cylinder couldn't possibly be long enough ?!?? You have both so I assume you have checked ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The frame isn't long enough to accommodate .32-20. The convertible .32 H&R mag/.32-20's were built on the large frame original Vaquero. (edit) Ok, technically, I guess you could, but you would have to deep seat the bullet, or load a wadcutter. The body of the case and the rim are also larger in diameter, and might cause some problems...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muley Gil SASS # 57795 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I THINK Alan Harton can make .32-20 cylinders for the .32 Single Six. The frame will have to be deepened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'll be dogged - I found several references to Alan Harton's Single Six .32-20 conversions on Google, but it sounds pretty pricey - open and lengthen the frame opening, shorten the barrel extension, make and fit a new cylinder, and "open the loading gate"...? I assume that means milling the opening larger and making a new gate to fit...? Then rebluing, of course. Keep in mind, such a conversion wouldn't create a .32 H&R mag/.32-20 convertible, but rather a dedicated .32-20, unless you also had him make lengthened .32 H&R mag cylinders too. There was even one guy who claimed Alan made him a 5 shot .41 special on a Single Six frame. 713-907-6031 is his listed business number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
