	Was the Remington #7 roller made in 32WCF?

	Roy Marcot's book lists the following calibers: .22 Short RF .22 LR RF .25-10 Stevens RF .25-25 Stevens CF .32-20 WCF, marked ".32 W" Optional calibers shown in a brochure are: .22WCf .22 Extra Long .25-20 Stevens .25-21 Stevens .32 Long .32-40 WCF .32 Short/Long RF Note that none of these "optional calibers" have ever been seen.

	If you look on page 313 of Marcot's Rolling Blocks book, you will see a picture of a No. 7 that's chambered in 32 WCF. Caliber marking on the barrel shows 32 W. As a side note, if you should happen to run into a No. 7 factory chambered in 22 short, Marcot writes that "A No. 7 rifle chambered for .22 short cartridges will not accept .22 long or .22 long rifle ammunition."

	I've always thought the #7 is one of the most elegant small rifles ever made. I'd pop for a nicely done repro in a heartbeat since the originals are so scarce.

I've seen a couple built up #7 Rems. and always avoided them, as the process requires making one from a Rolling Block pistol. As nice as they both were, the thought of getting into that much trouble wasn't appealing.

	Just befor dave's untimely death. I was talking with him about supplying him with screws for a repro #7. He told me he had the molds for the waxes done and had a few castup and had made a few rifles for friends so somewhere there are the molds for the waxes for the #7 Ken

	Brett Boyd ran an article on that repro #7 in one of the issues of the Single Shot Exchange.
