OK, we just don't know when the last guns were assembled. And we don't have a lot of control over post factory changes.

Reloading the 32-20 can be a challenge. I've crumpled more cases with it than all the other calibers I've ever reloaded combined.

Other than that, its a fun caliber. I quit trying to find a genuine Winchester and just bought the Browning remake. Probably better metal and metalwork, its Browning so the wood is great.
Dick,

The key to successfully loading the .32-20 is to avoid a roll crimp and use a Lee Factory Crimp die. You will never crumple another case again and your crimps will be perfect. There is no downward push on the bullet or case when using this die, so nothing can crumple.

I like my Winchester M1892, but a Browning would be just fine.
