So I just recently acquired a Ruger New Model Blackhawk Buckeye .32 mag / .32-20.
The gun came with the .32-20 cylinder, but it was missing the .32 mag cylinder. I'm not having any luck locating a .32 mag cylinder. I contacted Ruger, and they do NOT have any available. The lady at Ruger told me that even if I did find one for sale, and sent the gun and cylinder in to Ruger, that they would not be able to fit it for me. It seems to me that a gunsmith would be able to accomplish this task. Is this a case of liability avoidance? Is this in the same light that gun manufactures discourage the use of reloaded ammunition? Nothing against Ruger, I love them. I'm just wondering.
Also, I was wondering what anybody thinks about the idea of fitting a .327 mag cylinder to this firearm? Could it work? I don't think pressure is a problem. I've compared the load data between .327 and .32-20 and don't see an issue there. And the gun is built like a tank
PS: Does anyone know of a 32 Mag cylinder for sale??
