I can definately pick up a 32-40 reamer, that's no problem. I would at least need the slot cut into the barrel for the front sight; I wouldn't be concerned with the rear as I would be, more than likely, using a tang sight.

As BrentD mentioned, the #3 may be a bit heavy for a 1894 action, that was going to be one of my questions for the 'smith. I don't see on the Green Mountain website, any lighter contours bored and twisted for the 32-40.

Worst case scenario, I would take a new 26" round barrel, as opposed to the octagon. I am more concerned with having the 32-40 chambered rifle itself, I just thought an octagon barrel would be nice, and would match the 1892 (early 1900's vintage) 25-20 that I have. It wears a 24" octagon barrel.

MColeman, if you would'nt mind getting back to me via PM on some prices/options, that would be fantastic!

Thanks.
