32-20/ 32 H-R Magnum Convertible...

[dtrain]

I read one of John Taffin's "Camp Fire Tales" articles this AM..Entertaining as usual..He spoke about mistakes in articles..I am a bit confused about one though..Concerning the 32-20 32 H-R Magnum Convertibel..I shot one from Ruger, But I think it was the Full sized Blackhawk not the Single Six Magnum..My Father picked it up a Gun Show..I know he was upset that my Brother and I took it to the range and shot it..He was planning on and did sell it off for something else..Am I correct that it was the full sized Blackhawk Chambered for 32-20 with the secondary in 32 H-R Magnum..For some reason Buckeye Sports sticks out...Hope I am not starting an arguement

Yup it is a Buckeye, I have one. The 32-20 requires a full length cylinder so the full sized frame was what was used then.

Ruger also made a vaquaro for a time with duel cylinders for said rounds. I had one for a time, but traded it off because it was so heavy compared to my 45 Colt Vaquaro.

I have a stainless 32-20,32 H&R Vaquero. Even tho with the small holes making it kinda heavy and I'd really like a Buckeye with adjustable sights,it is a wonderful revolver. Enough so that I bought a 1894 Marlin to go with it.

I have the mentioned Buckeye in Blue with matching numbers. They are Blackhawks with the 38/40 and 10 MM cylinders.

I too have the matching pair of Buckeyes. Had the 32 Mag cylinder rechambered to 327 Mag. by Bowen a couple of years ago. Good shooters.

When the Buckeye .32 came out, it originally (maybe the first 100 or 200?) had a box end label that identified it as a Single Six, but the gun inside was always a Blackhawk.

I, too, have one of the Buckeye .32-20/.32 Mag convertibles. I've been thinking about having my .32 cylinder re-bored for .327 magnum... Wondered if anyone has had this done by gunsmiths in addition to Bowen.

I do not remember what the box said..It was one of those walking around deals my Father hit upon..The Gun, I presume unfired and a mess of 32-20's and 32 Magnums...Of course the Gun and said ammunition made it's way to the range with my brother and I...I remember the 32-20 bieng a pretty flat shooter..I bet it would be great for small game, maybe a really small deer in an emergency...My Pops was upset becuase he knew someone who wanted the Gun..I was driving by this time so trips to the range with my younger brother were common place..My father always told us normally what we could/could not shoot..He never said anything about the Ruger, hence we shot it!..I have owned a few and shot a bunch of Rugers...some of my best memories involve a Ruger...another reason why my Single Six is such a favorite of my Meager Collection...I miss my 44 Blackhawk..I bought it in 1987 after graduating Basic Training..Many years back in a fit of lunacy I traded it away for a Smith and Wesson 629..Sorry to ramble and get Nostalgic..
