	Looks just like the old .32-40 Remington. It was a .30 caliber also.

Hi Joe.........Hunting is out for sure , But the target shooting is what I'm hoping for ,like the past history of the 32-40 , Way more bullet choice! loads should follow very close to the 32-40! and a tin can shooter may be really fun LoL Ol Deuce Joe.

Greg Been done for many years. Have two rifles chambered in 32-Krag. Shot a 246-6 couple years ago with IS from the 1885. I have a picture of a 32-40 Remington Vall mentioned. Will post if I can find it. Joe Ol Cool......What got me going on this ,I took the throat sizer out of my Lee 32-40 sizing die and sized a winchester 32-40 and low and behold the 30 cal cast wouldn't slide back in WoW So with the short brass of the 30-30 I forms it to what I need!! Happy Camper!!! I'm not after barrel burner but something that is consistent ! in the 1500fps or less Ol Deuce

I run my 30-30 cases into a 32-40 sizing die without the throat sizer/decapper in the die! the second step is using the 30-30 die for the proper neck size,and the 30-30 bullet seater to finish up !! Works well for me!! Ol Deuce

	An original chambering, would be the 32/35 Stevens/Maynard. It had a .311 groove but, I made 2 in .308. My Hoch with a 14 twist Douglas barrel and a 44 1/2 with a LH, 14 twist, Clerke barrel. It's the best BP chambering, for BSing, that I ever had! They are a little harder to make but, well worth it. In the early 90's, I was second to Tommy Mason, by wide shot with a 247 and second in the group match to him also, against his PJ bullet, RKS barrel. The Clerke barrel did a 248 in the mid 90's.

	When I refurbished my 1867 Rolling Block I ordered a pistol grip rear stock from CPA Rifles. You might wish to order wood from them. It has a slot cut for the straight tang Military style No.1 actions. I tuned up the trigger pull with a wire spring made from .045 diameter wire. I tried blueing the action which never worked very well. Best to have it case color hardened if you are doing a total refurbishment. What are your plans for finishing her? Looks like a fun case to play with.

The first go-around ,I'll work with what it is than after she's shooting next winter take it apart and case-color the action and hot blue the barrel!! all the GS work I'm doing myself just to see. ........Time is on my side!!! with this Project !
