32-20...Rare?

Winchester still makes ammo for the 32/20, it was considered a cal. suitable for deer in the early days. Win. also produced some hivel. loads along the way. Factory ammo now produces around 1200 fps and trajectory is not what most folks want nowadays. It was popular on the frontier as it was one of the cartridges avail. in both Win. leverguns and Colt SAAs, it may get popular again as it makes a good cal. for cowboy action shooting and unlike the .357 Mag., it is period correct.
"...Is it still made?..." Yep. Aside from Winchester, Remington, Black Hills, GOEX, Tex-X and a company called Ultramax load it. Uses an 80(1410 to 2257 fps) or 100(1169 to 1984 fps) grain .310" jacketed bullet. (Speeds are out of my Lyman book and are the range of speeds using several powders)
Like Ben says, it's good for CAS, out of rifles and handguns(evil in Canada, of course). Not many of either being made though. Uberti makes a couple at long dollars. $1300ish at Shooter's Choice. You'll likely be able to find a used Marlin or other rifle around.
