I have a Ruger Single Seven in 327 Fed Magnum and a Marlin 1894 in 32-20. Can you develop a cylinder for the Ruger in 32-20? Any idea of cost?
we have built dozens of cylinders in 32-20

the only problem I can see is your revolver is a 7 shot. I would have to run the numbers to see if 7 rounds of 32-20 will fit in a cylinder the same size as your 327 cylinder. The 327 rim is around .320 while the 32-20 rim is approx. .408 so there is a bit of a difference. We have done them in the standard 6 shot cylinders before but the 7 shot may pose a problem. I don't have a single 7 cylinder here at home so I would have to do the numbers when I get to the shop tomorrow.
I just ran the numbers and we can put the 32-20 in a

Ruger Single 7 BUT not in a 7 shot cylinder. Plus you would have to have the 327 cylinder done in a 6 shot cylinder and the 32-20 also in a 6 shot cylinder. So yes it can but it requires a lot of other work that brings the cost up quite a bit. Two cylinders plus a bit of internal work to get it to a 6 shot internal system. By the time we got thru with it you would be looking at $850 to $900 and a year minimum. You would be better off buying a good used Blackhawk and having the work done to it.
