I found this on another forum.



American Arms marketed 32 gauge guns right here in the USA in the late 1990's. It is currently my wifes shotgun of choice. Shells can be had easily from Fiocchi. And as so many pointed out after the erroneous post of shooting .410 shells in this gun this is not just hazardous to the gun and shooter but is just stupid to even suggest. I think that Zoli is still making 32 gauges. These guns are extremly popular in Italy, from my understanding of talking with a rep from Fiocchi the 32 is actually prefered over the .410.

Yes, we have and shoot both gauge (24 & 32) American Arms over unders.

They do just fine.

And we reload for them, though I like using the star crimp and not the roll crimps, so I have to adjust some components.
I load 11/16 in the 32 gauge and 3/4 plus in the 24 gauge.

These guns are chambered for 2 3/4 but only 2 1/2 inch hulls are available.

Mike

Mike,
Don't know if you've ever seen this but here are instructions for modifying a MEC 600 Jr. .410 loader to handle 32 gauge. Gil

Yes, thanks have done this long time ago

Also, GunParts sells barrels that can be fitted to the 28 gauge guns. Depending if Fausti or Zoli made that particular gun
