I have this 94 in 32 h&r mag i want to rechamber to 327 fed
but i cant get the rounds to feed from the tube as they are .125
longer than the 32. When you try to open the lever the carrier
jams the round in the tube mouth not letting the round move out
the tube far enough for the carrier to lift the round to chamber.
Any one know what to do?
Thanks

Over on thr.org there is a guy that did it successfully. He put up pictures, search for the thread and then PM him.

Try this:

Not sure you will get 0.125" out of it but maybe. I went about 0.0100" for my .44.

You have to file (or cut somehow) the stop shoulder on the carrier back far enough to let the boolit clear the magazine tube. Pay attention before doing this as to whether it is possible to cut back that far without ruining the carrier. Them .32 H&Rs are some rare and therefore valuable in stock condition. Something to consider.
