.32 Auto FMJ

[TheMedic]

What rifles takes this cal? it was used in a Mauser 1914 semi-auto pistol, not to great for hunting.

 

[Stevo]

No rifle uses that ammo. Some SMG's like the Skorpion do.

However, there are sub-calibre adaptors that allow the use of the .32 in some .30 caliber centrerfire rifles.

Some Italian copy of the AR-15, I don't recall the make but it's probably a good bet that it's prohibited.

Really? Never heard of that one. Do you have any info on it?

This is pretty much all I could find, the .22 variant is much more common than the .32acp variant or so I think anyways. It was the 'Armi(y?)-Jaeger AP-74

Thanks for the link Tony it was very informative, although those aren't my style of firearm it's nice to see those little bullets being put to good use.
Were those modified from another cal?

Since SMG are out of the question l'll be looking into that conversion you mentioned Stevo,thanks.

- I think there is or used to be a company that would make you a custom barrel for your Thompson/Center Contender, for quite a few uncommon calibers like pistol calibers. You might want to look into it. Best regards Tony.

Why would you want a 32 auto rifle ?

 

[fat tony]

^I don't know for sure, but I would hazard to say because he realized he didn't have one, and would like to have one.

take a look at this medic:

I have an adapter that allows me to shoot 32ACP in 303BRIT rifles.

I bet a .32 adapter for an Enfield would be the cat's ass for grouse and squirrel. One gun to take any game in NA.

 

[fat tony]

^Yes, with a gun like that you would be able to 'get moose and squirrel'. . .

I have the same in 308, I was thinking of producing these any interest?

Great suggestions guys, much appreciated.

Do custom barrels need a special permit to order? if l wanted to take something with a 4"barrel and have a 20 or 24" made to replace it, is that legal ?

l remember seeing this years ago, a revolver with a rifle stock and a 20'' barrel.

Gaillard is one company that makes barrels in Canada, I don't know if they make custom profiles. If you get a barrel from the USA it requires an International Import Certificate (Canadian document) and the company then applies for an export permit (American document). Of course you might be able to get the whole deal taken care of by Questar. If you are trying to change the classification of a pistol, that is not my forte so to speak.

Here is my 30-30 adapter for 32 S&W.

 

[fat tony]

^really nice, is that a Marbles, by any chance, I heard they made these sort of adapters back in the day?
