I just brought these 3 wayward children home today. I blame Steve004 for the 32 WS’s. I think he got into my head about those less than popular calibers some how. I think I need therapy for this!

Best therapy I can think of is to look out your Deck and see those beautiful Winchesters framed in that background! Congrats and have to admit I also love that gun rack!!

Tom,
Steve can be a very big influence here, on many of us. 
I know he’s cast a friendly spell on me a few times!
Nice work! Looks like they needed a new home!

Tom, The photos are impressive but, in order for your friends to properly and vicariously enjoy these three new pieces, we need a complete and thorough description of each of them.
And the details of any range sessions.

I’m not greedy, I’ll settle for #2.
Great group here, thanks for sharing!

Are all three 32 Special?
Is the takedown version still tight?
All three look GREAT!

Thanks to all for the replies on these new ones. The top one is a 30 wcf. Letters with the Lyman receiver sight and sling and eyes. The second is a 32WS TD and letters with all 3 sights. The bottom is a32WS with half round barrel, my favorite barrel type, with the ever lovely Winchester smokeless rear sight.
There was a problem discovered last night with the 30 wcf when I was working on cleaning them and getting them prep for the safe. I won’t elaborate right now as it may not be staying with me. Got to figure out what to do about it.
Range reports to follow soon as I shoot just about every gun I own. No fun just packing them away. And as a few of you are also aware I am not afraid to chase white tails around with them either. The 32 deluxe has a good chance this year to be back in the woods.

Unreconstructed Yankee, Now I know what happened to my 45-90 rounds. You’ve been cruising auctions again and not tending to bid’ness.
PM me if you want to consult about the .30 WCF.

I love the .32 with the 1/2 o.b. and the “proper” .32 sight, to Me that’s what make them stand out from the other cal.’s. Very nice, there ain’t nuthin’ much purdier than a rack of nice ’94’s

I hope the 30WCF issues work out, if not it’s just a thutty-thutty and another will be along in good time…but she sure is purty!

Well, I’m going to make a stab of it, as that’s what makes me tick. That is, picking out what’s wrong with a firearm. It’s totally obvious on its own, but especially when compared to the two lower rifles in .32 Special, that there is way too much of a gap between the forearm and forearm iron that cannot be explained by normal shrinkage. That is, the forearm wood is likely replaced.

I’m sure you’re right.
We may have different views on these things but it otherwise sure looks like a nice 94 in an interesting caliber. Pre64Win.com has a lot of original wood that might serve??

Tom – I am very proud of you. You’ve made your way into the elite club, and if I’ve had anything to do with that, I gladly accept the accolades from the crowd (as small as that crowd is)

Henry has the right idea here. Here’s a, “proper” sighted .32 Special along with a .33 WCF. Both takedowns. Two great chamberings!
