Two (fairly) rare Rugers at one time!!

[32magfan]

I stopped in a shop I hadn't been to in fifteen or so years Saturday morning and I found two Rugers I couldn't resist buying. The first is a Buckeye 38-40 / 10mm Convertible with just a little holster wear on the muzzle. Otherwise, looks great. The second was in a Davidson's Black Box. That got my attention really quick. It is is Stainless Vaquero in 32 H&R/32-20. Barrel length is 4-5/8". It appears to have been fired very little.
I have theses guns in my eclectic accumulation of Rugers but when might I ever see them again?? I passed on the little Browning lever gun in 32-20 with gorgeous wood on it. I have not put the guns up yet to actually check serial numbers against the ones I already have. I will update if anything interesting develops on that front. I am stoked to say the least!!
Feeling Blessed,

I have a pair of # matching Buckeyes, 32 and 40, if you are interested in buying.

That Vaquero is a real prize! But I suspect you already knew that

WOW - a .32 Vaquero is a rare bird!

 

[oldgunsrule]

i think the 32H&R is a round that is under-rated and overlooked alot of time.

On my computer looking up gun shops in Burkesville......

A 32 is on my wish list..

NIce!

I have a blued .32 H&R Mag baby Vaquero. I recently reamed it's cylinder throats to proper dimensions and it shoots much better. Only one of my .32s that had really bad sized throats. Not any more .

Unfortunately, there's not much in Burkesville as far as gun shops (we have a couple), the one I stopped in was in Elizabethtown, KY.
I am super stoked to have a second one of these .32 Vaqueros. The serial numbers were about 75 or so apart in case anyone was wondering…

Can't imagine finding both of those in one shop! Congrats!

Probably the same one in Etown where I picked up my unfired Security Six bicentennial last month…there are 3 shops right near each other one on the right and 2 on the left. I was at the one on the right.

I would give quite a bit for that .32-20 Vaq convertible.
