.32 Rimfire
A long time ago in a land far, far away (VA) I acquired a Marlin 1892 in .32 rimfire ,in an old dusty gun shop in Cold Harbor, VA. It was leaning inside a cabinet with a dust layer that must have occurred right after the great battle, it was a very brown gun. I asked the shop owner, does it work? Where upon he pulled it out, blew a cloud of dust off it and said yes. It was all there. I offered $150 for it and out the door for $200. I asked do you have ammo to fit it, yes! Looking high on a shelf there were 4 dusty boxes of "new made" .32RF, cost $20 each. I left the gun shop with a new found treasure. I later learned that you can change out the firing pin and it will shoot 32 colt CF ammo of which I have several boxes. Like shooting it so much I now have two of the rifles. I never pass up a chance to buy RF or CF ammo for my shooter Marlins.
