Probably.
Haven't researched it yet. Check with Brownell's
What is your project, there may be an easier way - like turning down a replacement barrel.

You may want to check out or pose the question at Weaponsguild Temp link page Heavily oriented to firearm builds and somewhat custom machining.
Good site the compliments machining questions usually found on PM.

8mm barrel has a similar bore diameter but most probably a different twist rate but it could be used to make a new barrel if nothing else is available.

that's the guy i was trying to remember 1st class guy and stuff so here's one more thing to think about [ what is it your wanting to
reline ? how long is it ? if it would work why not just got some used two bit 32 auto barrel and cut it down and make a liner out of it
or some old rifle barrel that would work]

Auto pistol barrel more likely to have a new 'barrel' stuffed into the breech than a liner.
Awesome forum, I didn't know about it, Thank you!!

"NRA Bullseye" Oh, yeah. Back in the day great times shooting weekly league. Two or three gun---.22 LR, .38 Spl, .45 ACP. If you wanted it could be pretty affordable with off the shelf guns and roll your own centerfire ammo.
That .32 Target gun is nice but a bit pricey for the budget minded.
Curious to know why you are looking for a 32ACP barrel liner. Is it for a specific pistol and if so which one? As noted above, most .32ACP barrel are about as thick walled as any liner might be. If you need a liner for a pistol, I wonder if a 32-20 liner would work without getting off my butt to look up bore sizes/bullet diameters and rifling twist rates. If the available liner is large enough in diameter to function as a barrel in the deficient pistol, perhaps you could bore the existing chamber end an mate the liner to that. Be mindful of how the two are held together.

TJ's liners for a 32-20 are .305/.312, 1-16 twist, 1/2" OD.
Considering Hornady's .32 bullets are .312, seems like a good choice.
If you want tighter, the 30 Luger liners are .303/.311, 1-10 twist. Also 1/2" OD.
A scrap off an Enfield, SKS, AK, etc, could be just about anything in terms of diameter. I had a Winchester 1917, 30-06, that slugged .314 with a 5 groove left hand twist barrel.

Thanks for all the replies & links , I have some reading to do . The project is a Clone of a 1903 that my dad picked up during his tour to Korea during the war . He had acquired this pistol with a broken firing pin , so he went to the motor pool & made one from a old drill bit & after that carried the weapon along with a few clips of 32 ACP . It really wasn't chambered for 32 ACP but it will fire & eject them though the case bulges . I'm just interested in making the pistol reliable & safe to shoot . The pistol itself is a bit larger then A 1903 but if you held it in your hand you would be convinced it was a real 1903 . It strips the same . A bud gave me a brand new set of 32 dies & bullet mold along with 500 rounds of new brass . So that's the story behind what I am trying to accomplish with a barrel liner . I'll try to answer any questions you folks may have .
thanks

Please post a picture of the pistol. It might eliminate some of the mystery concerning the model.

For .32 ACP I wouldn't suggest Track of the Wolf. They specialize in black powder and it would be a slow twist.
Brownells, Numrich, and the other sources mentioned.
As for those saying not to do it .... if you want to and can do it safely, why not?
