ammo is available at the larger stores here,I really like the 32-20, i have a colt that was carried to the alaskan gold feilds in 1902,that i carry around the farm,and i used all the time when trapping.Excellent cartridge for up to coyote size game and will do the job very well on deer up to maybe 50 yards (best turkey gun ever!).Believe it or not it was reported to be one of the premier loads accuracy wise back in the day,and it won several competitions.A few of its users were the navy,police,target shooters,farmers and ranchers swore by it.Literaly every firearm manufacturer chambered for it,and it is reputed to be the single most accurate round ever(of the pitol /rifle cartridges) for a lever gun. It lost favor with police when they found it wouldnt always penetrate a car of the day,and was only really replaced by the 357 mag for that reason.It actualy was more popular than the 38 special at one time,because of its accuracy.And it still can be had in the detective models I believe.BE WARNED though,there was at one time two loads for this cartridge manufactured,one for a rifle that was loaded to higher pressures ,and one that was for pistols.Today ,to my knowledge, theres only one load offered, probably loaded way down I would think,but some folks say its still loaded too hot for a continual shooting in some revolvers. But ive shot mine a lot with no problems.If you had a really old collector gun you may want to go with the modern cowboy action shooters loads though. I've shot both a single action colt and my 1895 double action colt extensivly with modern loads with no problems,but a few years ago i bought a 1892 saddle ring winchester in this cal that has even the barrel loose in frame,that could have been caused by this.I cant say for sure, but its something to be aware of.Other than that rifle ive never found a gun of any brand that didnt shoot it well.And had a SW once that was a literal tack driver that i sold to a competition shooter for use in matches.while not as popular as it once was,theres literaly hundreds of thousands of guns out there chambered for it. So ammo should be available for a while.The fairly recent 32 mag tried to cash in on its thunder,but it never realy went over too well. it has been a very poular gun for many many years, and even in the old west a great portion of the firearms were chambered for it.while the 44 and 45 seemed to take all the glory,just as many folks carried a gun chambered for this round.think of it this way,those rounds back then were considered large heavy game rounds,most folks didnt need a large caliber gun and the 32-20 filled their needs quite well.Guns were lighter for every day carry,more eaily concealed,ammo cheaper,basically everything that still makes them popular today!if you really look at old revolvers and things much,it will surprise you how many were chambered in this cartridge.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
