32-20 Ver 327 Fed Mag

[paul h]

I never dreamed I could get this much GOOD info on these two cart on this thread. I knew it was a good question I was wondering about. You can do the math but nothing takes the place of a few good loaders that's worked on this. Like one said, "You can't not consider the case cap Ver the Case Cap". I also knew I was dealing with a thin case mouth/neck on the 32-20. I still would love to build a 327 Fed on a Rem 700 platform. Will I have to work/feel my way through a feeding problem? Yes. I will, but I still think I can work with the Magazine follower to get it to feed. Even I have to mill one out of a block of Alum to do so. I know I will also have to make a Magazine spacer some how to take up the space for the shorter 327 as compared to the .223. That's the base bolt face and short action I was gonna start with. Thanks again all of you for posting this good info and NO Kayala, your never off topic on one of my threads. I welcome and Info remotely related to what I'm looki g for.

Have you considered starting with a Rem 700 221 fireball? The magazine, spring and follower are already set up for the shorter cartridge. No guarantee you won't need to tweak things to get 100% feeding, but it should be pretty close. Not sure if the short mag, spring and follower is available aftermarket or not.

I do know Remington put the extractor and ejector on the 221 bolts in a different spot than on the 223's, so it's not just the mag that they tweaked.

Have you ever thought about doing the 30-223? Would work great in your Rem 700.

the browning 53's are much nicer than the henry 327, and they can be had for just a bit more $. that is what brought me to the 32-20 327 debate. I'm still not sure which way to go

Do a 700 in. .300 BO.

I bet a CZ527 could be converted to 327 FM easy.
