    On the subject of Winchester Commeratives....

    Was there ever any made in 32 Special? Many many made in 30-30, a few in 38-55, but I don't remember seeing any in 32 Special.

    not that i have seen but I don't get out much. I do know that those commeratives are made to shoot. If you buy one as an investment I hope you live like Methuselah if you think they have any collector value.

    Hello veeman,

    I think the Canadian Pacific was chambered in .32 Special, I almost purchased one years ago.

    The Calgary Stampede, Great American Buffalo, several other commemorative rifles were chambered in 32 WS. It used to be a popular caliber.

    i have a winchester model 64 rifle made in 1938 in 32 spl and it is a very good shooter and good killer with in its ranges, i think the 30-30 and 32 spl are very close cousins.

    Yeah - In addition to the above, my Canadian Pacific Railroad Centennial commemorative is a .32 Special

    I've seen this rifle but never handled it.
