I love 32-20 threads. A good friend of mine was a city cop in Hailey, ID, in the 60s. This was well before all the movie stars moved in. The Chief who hired him said he could carry what he wanted, but all the fellas carried 32-20s. He took the hint and carried a Smith in that caliber until he became a game warden and got a 357 like those fellas all carried.
My first .32-20 came about after reading a story written by Skeeter Skelton. It was a 5" with about 10% nickel remaining. I decided to round butt it. I became a deputy sheriff a year or two later. Since I was assigned to the jail, I was prone to carry that .32-20 on occasion.

# 21814 * 1920 maybe??
Sure it's not marked ".32 LONG CTG" on the barrel? If you mean the SN is 21814x, not 21814, .32-20 M&P SNs did not go that high. They stopped a little over 144000.

Yes she is. Stocks are in good shape as well. Could be where the star comes in. She was sent in for some reason and the stocks added. Several years ago I turned down $250.00 offer for the stocks.

I got this one a couple years back. Rough on the outside, slick as a whistle inside. Shot great right from the beginning with factory Remington fodder. I read about Mr. Keith's experience with the Colt SAA and 32-20 and was inspired, I do not believe the little Smith is up to the pressures the SAA is capable of withstanding and I'm sure Mr. Keith damaged more than one revolver in his day. I prefer to keep my reloadings on the mild side for the Smith and shoot a little hotter in my Model 92 Winchester, I separate loadings by box color, never use the red box in the pistol.

Well that IS the serial number plus a star, not another number-- I have always used 32/20 in her.

The Sudden End of an Unhappy Marriage - The Knoxville Mercury

Pull:

A strong believer in his personal rights, Clyde carried a .32-20 handgun. You never know when you’ll need it.

Decades ago, Knoxville was a rough town. And a lot of the depression-era rough people carried .32-20s. This story may be one of the reasons people around here said a .32-20'd shoot right through a man. In 1940, there was a very good chance this pistol was a Smith or possibly a Colt PPS.

Looks like it got dropped in the "Shine" which instantly removed most of the nickel finish and added a special taste to that batch of shine. Later on it may of fallen into the feeder crick to the still which left it with the rich brown patina.

If you have the money, buy it. Those grips are worth the price all by themselves.

Seven yards, standing Weaver SA. When I'm shooting for accuracy, I fire a group at the first bullet hole. 32-20s are accurate, and I ain't a bad shot. But 5-Shot can cook. That's his handload.

HSM 115s don't do bad. Bit snappy through this pistola, but the bullnose should make this a dandy defensive load.

Those old timers knew their guns. When I started hunting my boss advised me to find a 30-40 Krag because it would "shoot clean through a telephone pole". I did, and it would but then Remington quit loading 220 grain Cor-Lokts and they closed the season on phone poles.

Please share a good recipe for phone poles.
I'm from the South, so some method of frying would be nice.

Not many available today chambered in .32-20, other than those guns made for CAS, and maybe Thompson-Centers.

Make a post in the gunsmithing section and I'll bet tennexplorer will know.
It's an "it depends" answer. There are three major variations. Take the sideplate off. Take a closeup picture of the hand and the trigger and then one of the inside of the sideplate. Then we can tell what will fit.

Lee, no! The creosoted ones are high in cholesterol.

The creosote provided the oil for deep frying, but other than that the only thing I remember is that you don't need toothpicks.

I owned one of the Savage (Model 23?) .32-20 bolt actions 30 years ago. It was to be a companion piece to my .32-20 M&P Target which I was persuaded to sell. That Savage had excess head space which the model was prone to have. The short story is gunsmiths said it was not worth fixing. If I had it to do over I'd have bought the same rifle in .25-20 and necked down .32-20 brass leaving the shoulder far enough forward to fit the chamber.

During the early 1990s Marlin made their pistol cartridge size tubular magazine lever action in both .25-20 and .32-20. I would prefer that rifle.

Headspace on this one appears to be good. The design evidently doesn't tolerate "high velocity" loads, and the rifles all date to the era of "rifle only" factory ammo. Going to start experimenting with my Lee 120gr mould and find a load that is reasonably clean burning and accurate.

I grew up in a household with 3 firearms. A Stevens 22/410 which my brother and I were allowed to use from about age 10 on. The second was a Stevens 235 rabbit ear 12 gauge SxS that we were allowed to take afield in our early teens. The third was a 1892 Winchester in 32-20 that neither of us ever shot because in the words of my father "that rifle is far too powerful for a boy to shoot. It'll break your shoulder." My son now has the first 2 but the fate of the Winchester is a mystery.
