My stock is basically the same as yours with a high comb and cheek rest but my forearm is a little longer. Was having trouble resizing my case necks but made a bushing to fix that.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Did a trade deal this morning at our annual Single Shot Show we have each year. Took this nice Hepburn in .32-20 and some cash for a rifle I was selling. 
28" half octagon barrel, and otherwise all standard Sporting Rifle. Very nice bore, and well cared for little Hepburn.

The two I have have been rebarreled to other calibers with replacement stocks etc... I hope I can find one day an original such as yours that I can afford. I would never touch or alter an original gun. Very nice piece...

Only changes I'll make is sights. I will add a decent tang sight, and a globe front sight. Buckhorn and blade don't give me a very good sight picture.

If you ever get a notion to let it go I would give it a good home (hint)...

Thats a great looking 32-20! I struggled to find a 32-20 so I am building one. Well done.

.32-20's in a full sized Rolling Block or Hepburn are tough to find. Most likely guys ordered smaller framed #1 1/2 or #2 in .32-20, so not many in the larger actions.
