I just bought a Flobert single shot in .32 rimfire.
It is a rather nice little rifle, except that the .32 rimfire is very expensive. Does anyone have experience with these rifles? Is it possible to rechamber to a somewhat more easily reloaded round 32 S&W?
Any advice would be appreciated, but good abvice most of all.
Welcome to the forum rundownfid.
While I do not know much about the Flobert design specifically, only seen poor photos of it, I have read of rimfire conversions wherein the firing pin hole was redrilled and a new pin installed that would enable use of centerfire cartridges. It may be possible to rechamber if the rim thicknesses are compatible, i.e. the rim of the rimfire case is not thicker than that of the centerfire case. If no one speaks up here, ask next door at Cast Boolits. There are many there with much more knowledge and experience than I on the subject. Could you post some photos of the action?

...depending on where the firing pin hits?
if thats the kit I saw before its $140 us.
DIXIE has a conversion much cheaper.those guns are not very strong.:fighting68:
