Rifle in .327 Federal

[Travlin]

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.

A buddy of mine will be in line to buy one.

I also saw this on another forum where a poster had this confirmed by Anthony. Should be a good seller I see aot of people wanting this caliber in a levergun. Al

Lipsey's is listing Henrys Big Boys in 327 Federal with 16.5 and 20 inch barrels. Steel and brass.

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 .

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.

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.
