I would appreciate any information on this caliber.

Looks great and very affordable as a classic toy.

, I have a Harrington & Richardson rifled barrel single shot... the gun was made for palmer's cap-chur (correct spelling) and is designed to shoots darts to vaccinate or tranqualize animals....the bore size is .526...I have modern shotshell #8 shot loads from fiocchi, but not sure how shot will do in a rifled barrel... not very well, i'm sure.... I have located and purchased some brass 2 1/2" shotshells that are "in the mail"...Winchester also offered the '86 Winchester in 32 ga smoothbore.... i've never seen one except in a Winchester catalogue listing...


go big or go home ........

I have no idea what caliber that is, but that is way cool. I would love to have a rifle like that, just to try and figure out how to make it shoot.

Hello Nakihunter,

I'm pretty sure that is a shotgun, not a rifle. Although 32 gause is uncommon, its not really rare.

Here is a source for 32 gauge shells.

Also, if you write Rick at Westley Richards, and give him the serial number, he can search the records and likely find production and shipping information. I have done this for several WR Double Rifles and Single Shot Rifles with much success.

Here is his email address in England. ricky@westleyrichards.co.uk

Hope this helps.
