I am starting a quest for 94 Winchester in .32 Winchester Special caliber. I prefer a 26" barrel, but would buy the right 24" barreled gun. I plan on shooting cast lead bullets in Cowboy Silhouette matches. I'm no "gamer", I just want a rifle to have fun with.
The info I am looking for is........
There are commemorative rifles out there in this caliber.
I would strongly consider one of these.
Does anyone know what models came in this caliber and in the rifle length barrels????
Thanks
Good Shootin!!

great start............
Thanks for a great start.
I was pretty sure there was one or two other 94 commemoratives also in this caliber.
Maybe they were carbines and not rifles??
Thanks again.

Re: looking for 32WS info
I would look around for a older 32 spec it will hold it value better then a commemoratives gun which lose over half value when it shot . And both are priced around the same . And for cast bullets 1 in 16 twist is perfect in the 32 sp , alot better that the 1 in 12 for 30-30 . I found IMR4227 around 14.0 gr was a magic load in 185 and 200 gr for cast bullets . And I used pistol primes it stopped the little leading I was getting .. GOOD LUCK
..

Thanks for the tips...........
I was already looking for a USED commemorative.
I realize how the value drops once they are shot.
I really don't want to push an old one too much.
I tend to shoot them more sparingly.
I already own an 1886 in 45-70,
a 92 in 38-40, another 92 in 32-20,
plus a 9422.
Thanks again.
