32-20 Uberti Low Wall ............

[OlDeuce]

First of the year I'm going to order this Low Wall ! I think the 32-20 would be a fun round to shoot and also do
50-100- 200yd matches Now that could be a blast! What do you think????

Fine looking rifle, but would not one of the 44's or 45 cal be "easier" to cast for? Keep us posted after you get it and start shooting it.

44s are my favorite caliber ! I'm thinking my wife may want to sit down and do some target shooting!!! and I can load for this little guy ! She has a 1921 Olympic single shot 22 ! and I don't think she will go for anything bigger ! which is Ok by me !!! Got to get her shooting more!!!!!!

In that schuetzen style, the only calibers I'd consider would be the .32-20 WCF and the .22LR. None of the other calibers would be a good choice for schuetzen or offhand matches or shooting.
That's a great looking gun, and if it shoots well too, it should be a lot of fun in .32-20!

I've got one of the Cimarron Low-wall .32-20s (also made by Uberti) and it's really a great shooter. Mine has a single-trigger, straight stock, and a tapered, 30", full-octagon barrel. So far as 'easy to cast for'...my Lyman 31108 drops just a hair over .312 and, after PC, I size to .313. Accuracy is better than 'good'...a lot better! I put a Lee Shaver tang/Lyman 17A sights on mine and, off a 'field rest' (towel rolled on top of a .50 cal. ammo can), 1 1/2"-2" (10 shot) groups are pretty much the norm...if I'm having a good day :D . Excellent shooter for the wife, too...low muzzle blast, nil recoil, and light enough for an average-sized woman to handle without strain.

Make that in 32 H&R with a shotgun butt and I'll be on one like a duck on a Junebug.

[OlDeuce]

I'm getting the impression it's going to be a job to locate one like pictured!!! Most dealer sites are OUT of STOCK WoW.... If you have any suggestions
on where to go I'm all ears !!!! This will happen ......Was kinda of thinking after the X-Mas season !!! But when it's time to jump It's time !!

I was thinking 327 Fed Mag!

Did you try Dixie Gun Works ? They carry a good bit of Uberti stuff . If they don't have it in stock maybe they can order you one right quick .

The .32-20 is as easy to cast and load as it comes. A .312 bullet of 100 or so grains, some 2400 (I use 9.4 grains in pistol and rifle) and a primer, rifle or pistol (does not seem to matter). A 4 or 5 cavity 105 grain bullet mould from Accurate will make a sack full of bullets in an hour. That combination is very satisfactory in my 1914 Colt Army Special, Uberti 1873 revolver and 94 Marlin. Does well in leveraction matches and I have left a lot of dead porcupines and skunks with a few coyotes lying on the prairie.

[rbt50]

I got one last year. it took 13 months to get from buffalo arms.

[sharps4590]

Been shooting the 32-20 for....over 35 years I believe. The ONLY problem I ever had with the cartridge or casting for it is when I got ham handed during the case sizing. The case does have a thin mouth and neck and if you mess up you will know immediately. It's also easy to over crimp but a trip through the sizing die will cure that. Other than that it's as easy to load as an other "slope shouldered" case, as Skeeter called it. It's been one of my favorites since the first SAA I bought in that cartridge.

Lovely rifle...great little cartridge that in the right firearm can do everything any of the newer 32's can do. My Buckeye Ruger with the 32-20 and 32 H&R cylinder is a tack driver with 5 grs. of Unique and the RCBS 98 gr. SWC. It's unlikely the 32 H&R cylinder will ever be used. My EMF clone of the SAA shoots as good and a re-lined Mod. 92 Winchester shoots almost one hole at 50 yards. I'd think with a little heavier bullet with a different profile than the 98 gr. I use would hold up well at quite a longer distances.

[bob208]

I like the looks. I think of the cals. offered the .32-20 would be the best. but then .25-20 would be good too. and if the 200 yd. game would be the most used .32-40 would fill the bill nice.

[marlinman93]

Contact Uberti USA for an answer to where one might be found. They may have one and also tell you a Uberti dealer near you they can ship to.

https://www.uberti-usa.com/

But I think I found your problem! I looked at Uberti USA's site and don't see that model offered? They have 1885 High Wall versions, but no Low wall versions.

Exactly.....either the web page hasn't been updated ! I can't see them dropping that Rifle from the line up !!! I've got everything but that Little Rifle !!!!!
She will fill the bill !!!!

I have the Taylor model, twin triggers, 30" tapered octagon barrel and she is really sweet. Liked it so much I bought a Cimarron LW in 32-20 with single trigger. Never shot it. Sent to John Taylor for a rebarrel to 25-20 wcf, 26" taper octagon with same profile so fkrend goes on & put MVA B5 scope on it and she is sweet. Gonna shoot the heck out of it before get Lee Shaver put his 2# trigger job on it. You can do a lot with the 32-20 from mild to wild. Mine is accurate with a very very smooth bore. Enjoy.

I sent a message to Uberti last night!! we will see what they say ...............

[50target]

Ol Deuce, what was the word from Uberti? Do they have a regular supply stream? I've heard there are wide gaps in shipments. If you can get one I think you'll like it.

Have you tried Taylor’s in Winchester, VA? They are one of the larger Uberti importers and dealers.

I have two 32-20 rifles...An original 1885 LowWall and a Remington Hepburn. Both are extremely accurate rifles. But at 200 yds with any kind of wind they are a real challenge.

Here are stories I wrote for Single Shot Exchange on both of them:

I, too like (the idea) of another 32-20, but would want a fast twist barrel, like 1:10 so as to be able to shoot
the heavier bullets at out to 200yds. The 32-20CPA comes to mind- its actually a 32 cal (as in 32-40) bore so as to be able to
use that greater choice of bullets in the 200 gr area. This version has some popularity/and great results by some in Schuetzen.
Unfortunately, the Uberti 32-20s have the much slower twist .

Hi Arnie..........Good the hear from you ! and Happy New Year to Come !!!! 2018 is the year of the Low Wall 32-20!!! My Thoughts on the Barrel / Rifle
is having it in hand !!! If the total Quality for the dollar is there It won't be bad to reline of rebarrel to a faster twist!!! If I could find a "Real" Low Wall
that was clean for the price I could jump right in with a rebarrel! Still having it is more than 1/2 the battle ...... I have to say They Sure Look Really Nice!

Yep, can't hit anything past 100 yds. with a slow twist barrel and 115 gr. bullets. But I guess nobody told this young gal shooting an original Model 1894 Marlin in .32-20 with a 1:22" twist and 115 gr. cast bullets. And by the way, this was the first time she'd fired anything but a little .22 plinker rifle! It was great fun to sit there and watch her hit time after time! 400 yds. with just the plain old Rocky Mountain barrel sight!!! Not even fancy globe and tang sights!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMvIrxEUuwE

And another slow twist original 1894 Marlin in .32-20! This was offhand at I believe 500 yds.?

[john.k]

The cadet martini 310 round is a ringer for 32/20,has a 1 in 22 twist, and the sights are graduated to 600 yds.....so its obvious the brit gunmakers didnt know didly,and hadnt read a bunch of forums telling em they couldnt do it.

Well marlinman, this is the 21st century filled with internet experts who undoubtedly know more and have more experience than anyone, ever. It rather amazes me of all the things that were accomplished in times past that, since the advent of the internet, have become impossible. Sort of like today's armor plated whitetails.

I won't begin to mention what we used to do with the lowly 22LR at 400 yards. Obviously we couldn't do it today.

Yes, nothing I like better than taking one of my .22's and shooting targets at 400 yds! 400 yds. with a .22 is much like shooting twice that with a CF old cartridge. And it's great practice for those of us who can't get to a 1,000 yd. range as often as we'd like to!
People today think guns have to have fast twist rates, and can't drop more than a few feet in 500 yds. to be viable. The idea of a 60 ft. arc on an old bullet traveling 1350 fps seems impossible. It's like they believe the bullets just stop traveling at about 400 yds. and drop from the sky!
And when I think I'm shooting good, some guy has to outshoot me backwards, with a mirror! :)

I love the Old Stuff My 44-56 never happened back then ,but today she's slow butt getting to the target !!! Love It !!!!!

[GARD72977]

I tried to find a Schutzen uberti for a while and gave up. It seems they dont import them. There was a 32-40 on gun broker 6 months ago. I was going to bid on it but forgot. It brought a premium. Only one I have seen for sale.

When I used to go to Quigley, after the days match was over and the wind went down we would shoot our .22's at target #6 which was 350 yds. After tiring of that we would go to target #5 at 425yds. Never get tired of hearing the plink several seconds after the shot. Yes it can still be done in the days of the internet.

That's the only drawback to the .22LR......hearing the plink that far away! But it does put a smile on your face when you can hear it!
