I managed to buy a '59 model 94 in 32 special for 50 bucks but can't find ammunition for it

Do any dealers carry ammunition for this calibre or is the only option to reload?

Winchester, Federal and Remington make it. Sounds like a trip to PG is in order or mail order.

Great deal by the way!

Almost as good as the Winchester 94 30-30 a buddy just up and gave me one day.
 
.32 Specific! New caliber! :p Ah, just teasing. The words that iPads, etc. pick for you are hilarious sometimes.

Years ago, I spell checked a coworker's name. It came out as Vampire Garble. Needless to say, that's what we called her ever after. We even made up a sign for her office door. She was a good sport. She could dish it out as well as take it.

Back to your rifle. I use an old (1957) 94 in .32 Specific for whitetail out here on the Prairies. Grand old cartridge for a grand old rifle! Enjoy! :)
 
Our local stores all carry .32 Special... even CT. I shot 20 or so deer, 30 years ago, with a 50's 94 in .32 Spl... I imagine it still works fine.
 
I got a 32 Sp as well, here in BC both Cabelas and Wholesale Sports carry ammo. Prices are a bit high, $35-43 a box but keep an eye when ammo goes on sale and you can get it for somewhat reasonable price.
 
I owned a 1950's 94 carbine in .32 Special about 20 years ago.

Great rifle and very accurate.

One time at the range I shot several rounds out of a magazine load. Blam, blam, blam, boom. Boom??

When I ejected the "boom" casing, it looked normal until I checked the head stamp. Sure enough, .30-30.

The casing appeared perfectly normal because the rounds are so similar. So I tossed it in with the other casings for reloading as .32 Special.

So, I guess if .32 Special casings become difficult to find, you could always blow out .30-30 casings by using correct fire-forming procedures, and happily reload these.
 
Many years ago I was given a 1957 Model 94 in 32 Winchester Special... in the original canvas case.

I bought up every box of ammo that I could find for the next ten years and now I reload for it.

If you're interested, I could dig up my load data and share it with you.

By the way, this Model 94 was the very first open sight rifle that I owned with which I could ring the gong out at 200 yards, and further... twenty years later and I have trouble seeing 20 yards without some sort of optical aid... anyway...

PM me if you'd like that load data.

Good luck and enjoy.
