Anyone know of a place to purchase a Nagant cylinder .32ACP bored out to 32 Magnum? or a gunsmith who, either by mail or in the MD/DC area who will bore out a 32 ACP cylinder? or.. anyone have one they want to get rid of?Thx,Carl cnvpileri@outdrs.net

  While I haven't owned a Nagant, I've owned both a .32 magnum & several .32-20's. In the old days I beleive it was common to ream the nagants to use 32-20's with wad cutter bullets. If you aren't too concerned about keeping your gun origional, it might be an option for you. 32-20's are alot easier to find than .32 mags in my neck of the woods.Warning if you pursue this though, reloading the 32-20 is an art. they are slightly bottle necked and very thin walled. case life can be short.
