32 rimfire???
Anyone know where I can find this ammo or is it a lost cause looking. I have searched the internet with no luck. Any suggestions would be helpful. 32 rimfire short or long.

Last I new, Navy Arms was still importing it from Brazil. If they don't have it, try "The Old Western Scrounger".

I found 9mm shotshells from fiochi when I did a search on Old Western Scrounger is this the right ammo? 0 -
9mm shotshells are not the same as 32RF.
do a search under collectable ammo at www {elsewhere} com
Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.0 -

Ahhh thanks Mike, I was beginning to think this stuff was unattainable. 0 -
Atom, before you invest in more than one box of the "Navy Arms" .32 RF (Brazilian contract, made by CBC), try it in your firearm. I've known two instances in which the chamber was so sloppy these copper cases would split and have to be pounded out from the muzzle. The guys involved *could* shoot the brass cased ammo w/o problem. That is even harder to find, but it is around, for the right price. Good luck!

A trip down memory lane when I was shooting my Frank Wesson tipup in the back yard using Canadian (Canuck) .32 rimfire ammo. I too was beginning to think it was extinct but stand corrected. Still the Frank Wesson has a nice feature, two firing pins and a sliding block in the hammer that enables the use of .32 S+W longs to be used.
I have a .32 Remington RB sporter that I have never fired as it lacks this feature. Still wonder if I'll ever pay that kind of money to have the pleasure. No more Canuck (CBI or CCBI if memory serves) .32 RF ammo?
I wonder about picking up another breech block and converting the RB to CF. Any ideas out there?

Just did a search, it's CIL Canuck or Dominion was the manuf. Outta business, too bad my Dad was so frugal, what I paid a couple bucks a box for back then I could retire on now, in the right quantities. Funny thing is that Dad was into antiques, I guess he didn't figure anything in our era would be so valuable, like the $2.50 trapdoor Springfields in the back of the American Rifleman or the $20 1903's and '03A3's at the outdoor store. Looks like I'll be looking for a breech block and making the conversion.

This topic has me going, sorry if it gets locked but restart another thread on the same topic if it does. If you're talking a Remington RB the conversion looks pretty simple to me (.32 RF to CF). Like I said, I'll be looking for another block to keep mine original.
Here's what I buy for the Frank Wesson.
