I can attest and relate to all these things mentioned with my own R92 stainless 16" 357 mag that I bought NIB from local gun shop in 2016. My rifle had front sight dovetail cut off centerline, canted...

I have been "collecting" for several years now a few H&R/NEF firearms which are a mixture of SB1 and SB2 receivers for the purpose of building into dedicated caliber conversions. I also have a Savage...

Well, that's a shame that we can't get the same options here that they offer to other markets. I believe that a 357 Mag. in rifle format would sell, same goes for one chambered in 9mm Luger and...

I also have a slight interest in these rifles, especially since they are a "takedown" version. I am curious to whether or not custom barrels could be fabricated, since the price of NEF/H&R Handi,...
Outpost75,
I must live in an area where the 32-20 wasn't very popular. I'm 46, and I've never heard any of the older generations talk about the cartridge. In fact, I have never seen any for sale...
9.3X62AL,
I've been looking at the Cimarron Model P, the standard version (not the jr.) but I am currently undecided at the moment. It is re-assuring to hear that Your revolver is well made. Thank...
Dale53,
I was too young to buy when those were introduced, but now that I'm older, I've become smitten with the .32s. The 631 and the 16 bring some serious money these days!

shooting on a shoestring,
I don't know if this makes any difference but, I have revolvers in 32 long, 32 H&R, and 327 Fed., and I still want the 32-20. Now it might have something to do with I just...
Dale53,
Those are nice! I also use that same NOE version of the RCBS 98 gr. SWC in my .32s, that little boolit is hard to beat.

Harry O,
That is a nice K frame, I would like to have one-- it's too bad that S&W or Ruger don't offer some chambered in 32-20. The Ruger GP-100 with the 5" half lug bbl would make a good...
I would love to have a 'modern' K-frame size, six shot revolver in 32-20, or a Ruger Bisley in 32-20 as I have other revolvers chambered in 32 Long, H&R, and 327 Fed. I have considered having one...

I have had a similar experience with the mis-alignment of the sights in order for the rifle to achieve a zero. I've tried different loadings and bullet/boolit weights with no change, rifle shoots 4...

Outpost75 and w30wcf;
I really enjoy learning about the 'short range' boolits/cartridges and the history concerning why they were developed. I think they are as useful today as they were back...

FWIW, my 1894 Marlin made circa early 80's, liked the .433" diameter best. Mine also had tight spots under the roll marks and dovetails like Longbow mentions in post #11. My rifle is also 'crippled'...

I used what I could get, and NO factory formed 25-20 brass was/has been available in my area. I have a LGS that has two boxes of factory loaded j-words, but I'm not paying $89.99 per 50 rounds for...

In my experience with a model 30AS(economy version of 336) which was made circa 1992, Rick and Gear are correct about their advice. My rifle would NOT chamber the NOE 311-165 RF as it choked on the...

FWIW, Remington 32-20 brass has worked better for me than any other brand. Starline 32-20 is great brass, but when reformed in to 25-20, using the Redding form and trim die, the reformed Starline...
Rick, I can confirm that Erik is no longer enlarging driving bands, or at least that is what he told me in June of this year(2014). I had a couple of iron molds that I wanted to true up and enlarge...
I was wondering what shop that You went to? Would it be Reloader's Bench?
Actually, 32-20 type loadings and speeds are what I seek. I would just get a 32-20, however I have a hard enough time finding 32-20 brass to form into 25-20 for my Win '92. The brass availability of...
I have thought about the .30 Badger since I learned of it here on the forum. I like the idea of being able to use off-the-shelf dies and .38 special brass. I think it will make an excellent small...
