Many sporting rifles get a few nicks and dings in routine use but are cleaned religiously. Bore condition in a .32 Special is pretty crucial, from all I read. While a .30-30 may continue doing pretty well with a mediocre bore, a .32 Special's accuracy goes south in a big hurry. Frank Barnes, in Cartridges of the World writes you can't hit "a flock of barns" with a rough-bored .32.

Good luck - - -
