I'll still use my Rugers for everyday stuff, but lately have been getting into the open top conversions... I'm thinking a pair of 32-20 conversions for fancier shoots... I had a thread asking about 38 Long Colt a while back... but already have one conversion in 32-20... ( would be easier & cheaper ) to only make one more...
any issues with the 32-20 & CASS ???
what actually started this quest, was me thinking about getting a 32 H&R magnum Marlin, I already have a pair of Single Sixes ( just to keep around for company to use if they wanted to try CASS ) the 32 Mag levers cost more & are harder to get than 32-20 rifles... my builder buddy, said why not do another 32-20???
also some of the newer Marlins I'm seeing have a half magazine, so I'm guessing they don't hold 10 rounds... but there are lots of earlier Marlins & Winchesters in 32-20 with full length magazines...
if I did up a set of conversion revolvers, & a vintage rifle, I'd use them, & let the guests use my 45 Colt set up, or MRS 38 / 357 set up...
thoughts ???
BTW... I usually shoot classic cowboy class, using 45 Colt... I don't think I could shoot in that class with the 32-20, even though it is a "real" vintage cartridge in both handgun & rifle, where as the 45 Colt wasn't a normal rifle caliber
My current 32-20 ( with a 30 caliber barrel liner )... I'd either convert it back to 32 caliber, or make all 3 - 30 caliber barrels ) & trim the barrel back 2" for both revolvers...
