That's a Marlin 92.  Might be .32, but it darn sure isn't .32-20.  If it is a .32 it is .32 rimfire or .32 Colt.  In either event the ammo hasn't been made for decades.  The same gun was also made in .22.

There is conversion to CF,  32 short or long can be used ....this one may have one
On occasion Winchester/Olin will do a run of Shorts...

Pettifogger is right , it certainly isn't 32/20

 All the 32/20 (lever guns ) i'v been look'n at load on the side, and that's what made me ask. But by the by how hard to convert a rim fire to center fire ( 32's and so forth??).

On the Marlin 92 many of them came with two firing pins.  You just swap them.  For other guns it can be a major piece of engineering.  Depends on the gun.
