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.

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.

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.

greenmtranger was that 94 a carbine or a rifle?? i have only seen 3 carbines in 32-40 in the past 30 years. i own 2 of them.
