Default Vintage 4th Change

I've mention on the Intro thread, I have my Dads circa 1926-7. 4th. Change Hand Ejector 32/20.
He had this gun with him when he served as a volunteer coast watcher ( volunteered & skippered his 32 foot cruiser "Lenape"
for the US Coast Guard during The early years of WW2.
It has not been fired since the mid 60's.
It is in working order, locks up tight and overall finish is a about 80%. turned brown
The bore turned out rather bright after a good cleaning,
boy the old gun really need a good cleaning having been stored away nearly 40 + years.
What I though was light pitting cleaned away.

The reason it was put away, mainly was 32/20 Ammo was not readily available, that is you did not just see it over the counter anymore. I recall the last box I ever bought for it was in a Hardware Store in Highlands NC about 1967.
We shot that box, that was it. Dad gave me the Gun in 72
and I never really hunted for ammo. I just put it away.

Now, 32/20 is available again, or I'm just more aware it's
out there for CAS so I intend, get all nostalgic and return the gun to it intended use a shooter...

Sorry, long winded, but I'm now looking for 32/20 Ammo...
any help would be appreciated.
Cabela's @ $38.95 a box + shipping makes it about $1 a shot
I'm thinking there has got to be a better source ????
