Remington Model 32
 

I have only handled one and never shot one but always wanted a Remington 32. I am currently looking for one and have done all the reading I can find on them here and other sources. They sound fairly trouble free. I have seen mentioned a few trigger issues. If I should happen to buy one and encounter trigger issues is there anyone that repairs them? I would welcome all opinions on the 32 as well.

Thanks

Great guns; built like a bank vault. My brother bought a M32 TC Grade 2-barrel set, 30" M & F and 28" IC & IM. After years of shooting Belgian Brownings at bunker trap, I "discovered" this one and now won't give it back - will probably end up buying it from him. Never had a problem with the trigger; most are fine unless previous owners "fine-tuned" them - then the fun starts!

I AM an advocate of the Remington Model 32 as well as the Krieghoff K-32 and K-80 . And don’t get me wrong I’ve got a pretty decent sized covey of Belgium Superposed . But I’ve never shot any gun better then the Remington or Krieghoff versions of the 32 .

I recently switched from a Krieghoff to a Rem 32 for clays. Love it. Fantastic shotgun. I’m hooked.

I've long wanted a Remington Model 32 Skeet Gun, but so far the only one I've found is an early one with a serial number in the 14xx range and it didn't git me at all. When I'd throw it to my shoulder I was looking at the left side of the barrels. From the 1934 Remington Arms Co., Inc. catalog --

I had an inoperative trigger on my Remington 32, but it turned out to be a very simple fix for a talented gunsmith. I am now enjoying my faux F Grade 32 with recently installed TC grade wood. After years of enjoying a closet queen, I can now enjoy a shooter. However, unlike Joe, I'm not giving up my Krieghoff.

Any pictures of these 32's??

Google "Remington M32" and go to images to see some spectacular ones!

There’s a nice 32 for sale on the Trapshooter board.

If you are concerned about trigger issues you could look for one an early one like mine; it has 2 triggers and I've never had a problem with them.

I have a Rem. M32 skeet with 30" tubes and I know I have 5K plus rounds through it without a problem. I never considered those guns to have trigger problems.

Jack, what's your s/n first two digits? Mine is 4 digits 30xx but it is a single trigger.

I’ve got a friend that has two of the early square tanged 32’s with double triggers .

Had my eye on a 5 barrel skeet set for reasonable money. They either sold it or pulled it from being for sale. I am sure I will find the right one though, Search continues! Thanks everyone for you help!

Daryl,

The serial number is 25XX . It has 26"barrels mod/full

Also A 32TC on Wards auction.

Have never owned a 32 (have had several K80's, which are first cousins). Also own several 3200's. Interestingly, 3200 barrels advertised as 28" actually measure 27 1/2" What about the M32's?

I've never owned a K-80 but have shot plenty of them !

I have however owned a few K-32's and R-32's . One of the K-32's I had was a first or second year Krieghoff production and was pretty much built from Remington made parts . Anyway the barrels on that K-32 would swap back and forth with the barrels on both the R-32's I used to also own .

The first K-32 I owned swapped barrels with several friends K-80's no problem . And of course there were others that wouldn't but just saying .

My understanding is that the K32 is the same gun as the R32. The K80 ( introduced in 1980,imagine that?) had an upgraded (simpler?) trigger, otherwise still pretty much the same gun. I suspect there are others who have more information on this than I do

You are correct on the R-32 to the K-32 . It is my understanding the main difference between the K-32 and K-80 was the manufacturing process . “Supposedly as I was told” K-32’s used machined internal parts and K-80’s used stamped parts . Makes no difference to me I like all three as well as the little K-20 .

The K32/R32 is essentially the same gun. The K80 is an updated version of the K32, but also basically the same gun. I’ve owned all three. The main difference in the barrels is the size of the trunions. The R32 and early K32 used a smaller one. The later K32 and K80 use larger ones. These are easily changed. They make no difference in the function of the gun. Some K-gun guys will make a big deal about coil springs versus leaf springs. I considered changing them but in talking to Ernest Marlette, one of the most noted Krieghoff gunsmiths in the US, he would be happy to change the springs and charge me accordingly. Or, for $5 he’d sell me two replacement leaf springs to keep on hand. In 30 plus years of working on Krieghoffs, he’d seen precisely two break. I kept my K-32 as is.

I agree with Joe. All of my Krieghoff 32s are original with no updates and work just fine. My favorite 32 is 52 years old and humming right along.
