I passed on a 32 rimfire once, and I'm still pissed about it. I found out that is is rather easy to have a rimfire converted to centerfire, and that several older guns were originally convertable. A gunsmith can fabricate, or modifya hammer and breech face to center fire.

Guns were made to shoot, and it is a shame to let them sit. I shoot a 1871 Dutch Beaumont (55.00/20 rounds) by reloading for it. I use a decapper die, a Lee primer and a 45 Colt pistol die to neck size (real dies are 275.00). It is a hassel, but I get to shoot it more often.
