Rifle in .327 Federal
Rifle in .327 Federal
I saw in one of the write ups on the new H.R.A. models that they will be making a .327 Lever action rifle. This is indeed news of importance.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I noticed that not only did they mention that the rifles were not in stock but that they had a "half cock safety" That's a new one on me for H.R.A. rifles that use a transfer bar .

Re: Rifle in .327 Federal
Now, this Henry thing is getting interesting. Love the 327 and that rifle would go well with one of my favorite single action, a Ruger Single Seven in 327.

Re: Rifle in .327 Federal
Just over 3 years ago, I contacted every last lever gun manufacturer I could think of, requesting this firearm.
I've been a big fan of the .327fed/mag since it first came to my attention.
I own, and carry on occasion, a Taurus 2" barrel 6-shot snubby .327, and just recently picked up a Ruger SP101 in .327. It has a 4.2" barrel and 6 shots.
I emailed, snail-mailed, and called several companies, including Henry.
The last time I contacted Henry was about 2 years ago. Shortly after emailing them, I received a response from Henry. They were the only company to respond to any of my communications.
At the time, Henry's response was, "we have no plans to produce such a rifle at this time."
Discouraged, I went looking for a host rifle to have re-chambered.
That did not go far. Most all of the potential host rifles were out of my budget even before having any modifications done.
I had more or less resigned myself to the fact that I was never going to get my hands on a .327fed/mag lever gun.
Fast-forward to last week.
I received an email from Henry announcing the release of their new carbine.
I've been on cloud 9 since.
I emailed Mr Anthony Imperata to thank him for producing this rifle.
I received a reply in less than 48 hours. He thanked me for my interest, my patronage, and told me I was ,"very welcome".
I plan to get my grubby little hands on one of the carbines as soon as possible.
