I've always had a hankering to put together a classic combo six gun/lever gun. There was the Ruger Single Six SSM/Marlin 32 H&R mag that I never got around to buying when both guns were in production..." Gee, I guess I'm a happy camper 'cause I finally succeeded at putting that exact combo...

Old No7

Well team, none of my feelers here or on other Marlin/levergun sites came through, but I just got a solid lead on a nicely checkered factory-original take-off stock set. Looks like it is brand new and the price is great -- much cheaper than the checkering quotes I got. Wood should be here with a wee...

+1 on that.

I haven't used his services, but his name was recommended to me several times recently when I was asking about an old Martini (the one I had posted some ugly Bore Scope pictures about).

Good luck Jay.

Several times I've read that some Marlin Cowboy owners don't like the factory-checkered stocks, and they'd much rather have smooth stocks ... ...Well, maybe I can help with that!!! My Marlin 1894 CB (32 Mag) has a smooth set, and I would be very interested in trading if someone here has checkered Co...

Yeah, but we all want to know is................. Did you flinch???

Or, maybe you will on the NEXT shot!!!

Very nice Jay!

Now if we could only figure out how to make my Dillon Press alternate and stack the rounds that way as they came off of it -- it sure would save us a lot of time packing!

Tight groups,

Interesting you mention this, as I am now seeing more 32 H&R Mag factory ammo on the shelves than ever before. The manufacturers must have caught up "on everything else" and now they're finally getting around to the 32s... That said, I've had great luck with Universal in 357 Mag, 38 Sp...

Old No7

Hi Jay:

I did well with light loads using Universal and Trail Boss in my old 32 top-breaks. (Make that "or" -- not both!

) You might also find some loads on this forum where those centerfire cylinders have been mentioned before.

This has to be a record... I've already posted (3) gun-related posts so far today, and this one is definitely On Topic for this forum! For quite awhile now, I've been really into the little .32s, having found a nice old H&R top-break in S&W Long, then getting a NIB Ruger SP101 in H&R Ma...

This company Gun Storage Solutions makes items for storing more rifles in a safe too, but so far, I've only tried the Handgun Hangers .

I've heard good reports about this company:

Or maybe a call to Leupold would be worth it, as they just acquired the Redfield line -- maybe there's something they could do for an earlier model. (Bet they have the expertise for sure.)

Good luck.
