32 H&R

[CrimsonTide]

Not to Hijack the thread, but did I understand a poster to  say that he had a 32 mag handirifle?

I split this question from one of the 45LC threads. There are at least a couple here with 32 H&R Mags, Larry (trotterlg) stubbed one, see FAQs on that, and I think Stimpy had one rechambered and rebored from another barrel. Custom chamberings are easy, they just require some $$ or machine shop skills, I have H&Rs in 405 Winchester, 338-06 A-Square, 6.5x55, 280 Improved, 35 Remington, 30-30AI and 460S&W, 2 were done by hand by me and the rest were done by my gunsmith, Wayne York of Oregunsmithing, I think Wayne did Stimpy's 32 H&R too, among others.

I got one that Larry did as a stub from a 303 British and likes .313 cast the best. I love it and it compliments my NEF 32 H&R mag revolvers nicely. I believe he made at least one other that is floating around out there somewhere and Stimpy's custom chamber and rebore. Kurt

Thanks for setting this out by itself, and thanks also for the replies. I hadn't heard of a factory chambered .32 magnum and thought I had really screwed up and missed a special run. I also have thought that the .303 Brit would make a dandy handi rifle. I enjoy the cartridge alot.

I am currently looking for a donor barrel to do a 327 Federal mag should be able to shoot the whole family from 32 S&W  32 S&W long 32 H&R mag 327 Federal. Going to use a M44 Mosin take off barrel I have on hand.

I believe there is another member that has done the 327 but don't recall right now who it was. Kurt
