Home Forums Lever Action Central Cowboy Levers Does Marlin still make the 32 magnum in a Cowboy?

TIA

No. I think they only made one run, possibly two and discontinued them probably roughly 3 years ago. I had one for about a week. Accuracy was pretty decent. I bought it based on the listed weight of 6.5 pounds. Mine was a hair over 9. Then I scoped it and it went over 10. Screw that. I bought it as a jackrabbit gun for walking and kicking sage bushes. It was just way too heavy for that use.

What they should have built was a .32 mag in a CL type package, the 6.5 pounds the cowboy version was advertised at. I'm hoping now they'll try to squeeze the .327 federal into that action with the lighter round barrel ... that'd be sweet.

I had a CL in 218 Bee. sold it, Dumb.
I would have thought the sass would have ate up a 32.

Thank you for the response and info.

Hello
I don't think we will ever see it made in the .327 Magnum round. The presures of that round are double that of the .32 H&R Magnum and I don't believe the receiver would take it. If they ever do figure out how to build one in a Lever action I will be a Player for one...Thegeneral.

Given that the .327 Federal pressures are in the 32,500PSI to 35,000 psi range, as are the .357Magnum, the .41 Magnum, and the .44Magnum, all of which will put far more back pressure on the bolt, I'd think they could do the .327 in the 1894 easily, if they chose to do so.

I have the 32H&R Magnum Marlin and would snap up a .327 Magnum in a heartbeat.

I know where there is one available if you're really interested in buying one.
