Considering we've had some exceptionally beautiful and outstanding pieces in this thread, I figured I needed to add some beaters *I mean character* to keep it well rounded.

Here's a late .32-20 2nd model (#9687), *that does have a good bore*:








.32-20 1905 1st, with a pristine bore and lots of finish left, with what I think is attractive "toning" in the bluing:






Here is another .32-20 1905 1st (#29,999), and although nowhere as nice, it does have a decent bore:






.32-20 1905 2nd, with a decent bore, but lackluster finish:





Finally, .32-20 1905 3rd. that someone chromed :



Group photo (except 1902) with a .32-20 speedloader!




Also, Hamilton Bowen is making some longer cylinders that might be suitable for .32-20's for around $300. Too bad no one is making replacement barrels- there are far more pitted barrels encountered in .32-20 than nice ones.
