Well, just placed an order for the H012MX, the 357 from Kentucky Gun Co.
Never ordered from them.
Hope they are good guys.
They are fine, I ordered a CZ 455 Last summer, no worries at all. Fast shipping, too.

Excellent. Thanks for the info.
Will let everyone know how it works out when it comes in.
Will be interesting to compare to the Marlins.
I have 2 1894 CSBL's and 1 1895 SBL.

Thanks
David

Excellent !!!
Range report when you get to shoot it.
I almost bought the 45-70 first but when i found a 357 available, i took it first.
If i like the 357 version, i will be looking to get the 45-70.
My 357 should be in late this week i am hoping.

Peace.

Range report coming next week on my X Model in 357.
Need to look into some issues i am having before posting pictures and information.
Primary issues are magazine follower getting stuck in the tube at loading round 7, intermittent.
At approx. 10.25 inches from the tube end.
Also, cycle issue when chambering last round.
Will get back.

To each his/her own, I just can't wrap my head around a side gate on a Henry. Kinds like whipped cream on steak, LOL.
I just can't wrap my head around black plastic and matte blue/black finish on ANY lever action.

Kind of like a bumper sticker on a Ferrari or a tats on a bikini model!

Depends on why you are buying it, for a truck gun it makes a ton of sense. I won’t hang mine on a wall... fair warning, you will both have fits when you see my linear compensator screwed on the muzzle..... LOL

Well, I don't have a 'truck gun' per se, I just carry the wood ones a little more securely!
