32-20 revolver

[elkhunter73]

What is the barrel diameter of a ruger revolver in a 32-20 cal.

 

[contender]

My Ruger Buckeye 32 Mag/32-20 measures .780 at the mainframe, and .690 at the muzzle end.

I think he was wanting to know the bore diameter. Did not ask it very well if that's the case.

 

[contender]

True.

Anyone have an opinion on "twist" for a 32-20 revolver ? I may have to get one rebarreled.
