Bert H. said WRACo’s advertising department was apparently not above being inclined to sugar coat their new products in order to increase sales.

You’re not serious?  Incredible, shocking!  My mind reels.

 Thanks for the well wishes,fellows.At present .321 dia. bullets are hard to come by.However I have a small stock pile,that should last me awhile.Smile

  

In the badly eroded bore of my one .32 WS, 8 mm (.323″) shot more accurately than .321″.  Perhaps 8 mm would be easier to find.

Interesting point.  I even have a supply of round nose 8mm bullets – I think they are 170 grain – might be just the ticket.

Local northern Vermont gun shop yesterday, Remington 30-30 170 grain Core Lokt, $29.99, Remington 32 Special 170 grain, $46.99. They had about 30 boxes of 30-30 and only 2 boxes of 32 Special. Might be an issue down the road.

If you passed those .32’s up, you passed up a bargain.  I just checked ammoseek.com for .32 Specials and the cheapest box of Remington Corelokt’s in the country is:

Remington Ammunition 21489 Core-Lokt 32 Win Special 170 gr Core-Lokt Soft Point 20 Round Box

Have you sent me the serial numbers one them?  The Model 64 looks like the “carbine” 20-inch rifle.

Nice vintage.

On the topic of the ammo, the future of a lot of these semi-obsolete, less popular cartridges is bleak.  We talked about .32 Specials above, but .300 Savage, .30-40 and .35 Remington (all cartridges I shoot) are running closer to $100 a box.

I already had the Model 64 rifle documented, but the 94 Carbine is a new entry in the survey.

Thanks
