    .32 Levergun

    I'm not up tosnuff on leverguns so if this is a dumb question I'm sorry. Does any gun maker manufacture a 32 cal lever action

    Not sure about new but there are plenty of Winchester 94's and a few less Marlin 336's in .32 Winchester Special. Slightly bigger hole than .30-.30, cast bullet and reloading friendly.

    You are a couple decades late. Check the used market.

    Marlin 1894CL in 32-20, .32 H&R mag. .32-40 out there too.
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    the ones in 32-40 are the most collectible and rarest of the model 94's.

    jlchucker - Winchester/Miroku made a couple of runs of 92 take downs and short rifles in 32-20 recently - However nothing else current in the 92's I can find. There are two of the take downs avilable on gunbroker right now. Pricey though. Where are you in Vermont? I am in the Chester area.

    I own a 32-20 Winoku Take Down long rifle and am very happy. They are pricey and a nice pre-64 94 in 30-30 or 32 Special is a cheaper find and very traditional. Be aware the Japanese Winchesters have a tang safety and rebounding hammer that many guys don't like.

    Marlin made a .32 Magnum lever gun.
    You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

    I'm in Bakersfield. I know the Chester area very well, though. I lived in Springfield and moved north just before the collapse of the machine tool industry there, in the 1980's. I'm not interested in a new 32-20 enough to take out a mortgage in order to buy a Japchester with a lawyer-safety--takedown or not. It would be nice, though, if Rossi started offering this caliber in their 92's.

    greennmtranger: I hope you did not pass up the trade on the 94 in 32.40. Even beaters are high dollar.
    As for VA shooters question, if you are looking for a 32 cal rifle I would go for the 32 Win Special as it is very reloader friendly and if you have a hard time finding 32 Win. Special cases you can size 30-30 cases up to that caliber with no problem.
