Went to Sovereign Guns in Fuquay Varina, NC yesterday. They had a Winchester 94 in 32 Winchester for about 550. It looked to be in good shape. I don't know if it's a good price, but they got one if you want one. I'm pretty sure they are on gun broker, so... Just thought I'd pass it on if someone has a hankering for one.

Take care,

Sully

I just picked up a marlin chambered for 32. I'm starting to really love it.

Got one, wouldn't seem right if I bought that one too. It'll follow some lucky guy home any day now.

I picked up a 1950's 336 in 32 Win Spl a couple of months ago and feel the same way. It's so accurate and shoots every load I've tried into tiny groups.

Mine is a 50s recieve with a new micro groove barrel on it. So far im only getting about 2" at 100 yards but I'm working on it.

Got one thanks!

Its a darn nice rifle for sure. I just need to get a mold for it one day.

As I found my 94 rifle to be. I thinks its is kind of finicky when its comes to its preferred speed. The faster the better. Doesn't seem to have much accuracy in its using of light target loadings. Although I only have two molds for its use. Lyman 321297 & 321427. Haven't tried the latter of the two yet. So its a experiment in progress yet.

I gave mine to one of my grandsons. It was my grandfathers he bought it new in about 1940 or so. It loved cast boolits, the mold was a NEI 150gr. PB. It shot into 2" at 100 at about 1600 FPS. My grandson loves it too.

Wish I would have "discovered" the 32 Special 40 years sooner. Just love my 1941 Model 64 with cast boolits.

Yes, if you read the magazines you'll think there's no point to the 32WS. But us boolit shooters know better, and it is really a better choice than a 30-30. BTW, I paper patch for mine too. Size to .314", patch to .325", seat in unsized cases. Brass lasts forever and accuracy and power are impressive.

$500-$550 for one in good shape is not bad. Im going to the dixie on sunday. If i could make it sat id cruise down for a look and hit aviator at the same time. 32sp dont show up north of raleigh much. In northern new england the racks always have several and i was planning on picking one up when i go back in august
