Frequently Asked Questions
32 Gauge Ammo for Sale

What size is 32 gauge?

32 gauge refers to a shotgun bore size, smaller than common gauges like 12 or 20. It fires smaller shot loads and produces less recoil. Once popular, 32 gauge shotguns are now rare and largely obsolete, with limited ammunition and firearm availability today.

Is 32 gauge the same as 410?

No, they're different. 32 gauge has a .526" bore diameter, while .410 measures .410" in bore diameter. 32 gauge is slightly larger. The .410 is far more common today; 32 gauge is rare, with ammunition primarily imported from Europe by Fiocchi.

Does anyone make a 32 gauge shotgun?

Yes, several manufacturers make 32 gauge shotguns, including Fausti, Rizzini, and Gordy & Sons, primarily as side-by-side hunting models. The gauge is rare but not entirely out of active production — Fausti and Rizzini can produce them, and Gordy & Sons builds custom examples, though expect to pay several thousand dollars.

Which is bigger, 30 gauge or 32 gauge?

30 gauge is bigger. In shotgun gauges, lower numbers indicate larger bores. A 30 gauge measures approximately .547 inches in diameter, while a 32 gauge measures .526 inches. Both are obsolete, with 32 gauge ammunition now extremely rare.
