Rifle in .327 Federal
Re: Rifle in .327 Federal
Well the wait is finally over, picked mine up late this afternoon. Serial number below 800, think there are 6 that came into Aus in the first shipment and I know where one other has found a home. Very limited shooting with the open sights in poor light late this afternoon. Groups around 1" at 25m with AE 100gr factory ammo. Similar size for the few cast 32swl reloads I tried although I need to add a bit more powder as 1.5 -1.7gr AP-50 only produced 700-750fps. The were quite about the same as the cci quite 22lr.

The first I received in August last year and it has a serial number under 120.
My second was purchased almost exactly 6 months later and has a serial number just under 850.
I'm curious. Is there any way to determine how many of any given caliber/model have been produced?
I find it hard to believe, and a little disappointing, that the .327's don't seem to be selling as well as I would have expected.
i know a lot of people still ask, "Did you mean .357?"

The date on my inspection tag is Nov 21st
Not sure but I assume all a Big Boy Steel 327 rifles are BBS followed by a 6 digit serial and end with the M327 model designation. Maybe someone with a carbine can confirm if they end with the MR327 model number. The Big Boy Classic may well have a different prefix again maybe someone with one can confirm this. There could be 3 separate lots of serial numbers all starting at zero.
Most here in Aus aren't even aware the 327 exists let alone as a chambering from Henry.

Well, on my .327 Carbine box, it shows Model # H012MR327, and the serial number of my rifle is BBS0016xMR327. There is a Nov 15,2017 stamp on the label end of the box as well. Not sure if that answers the question.

Re: Rifle in .327 Federal
Well it does look like each model has serial no starting at 000001 the rifle ending with M327 and the carbine MR327.
From your carbine serial number and my rifle I would say the rifle is out selling the carbine about 5:1.
