Re: Winchester 94 in 32 W.C.F.

No buddy model 1892 came in 32 WCF or more commonly called 32-20, model 1894 or 94's for short came in 32 Winchester Special, but from what I have read I would not touch one to many problems with accuracy when the barrel wears a bit. Hope this helps. winchester 1886.
