If the make one in 45acp I might take a look.
The Marlin Camp 45's command a hefty price. They didn't make that many of them. If Henry came out with a .45 I'd buy it.

That is a really cool rifle. I like it's looks too.
I like the concept, and that HRA is branching out, but the looks are a bit off to me. The fore-end is too squared off in my eyes. But if everyone liked M&Ms, it’d be a boring trip to the candy store!

Dont care for the looks of it myself. 9mm makes sense as ammo is cheap and for me if I feel like picking it up I will. If I dont no harm done as loading it takes more time than its worth to me. Im not in to brass throwers to much anymore. Getting lazy in my old age. I like those guns that the brass falls out in my hand. Shooting 9mm outa my Ruger Blackhawk Convertible is just all right by me.

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.......

Heard about that but it puzzles me why the 357 max is being ignored. Im a max fan. It will do what the 360 will do and give you some other options like 357 mag.

Yep that’s what everyone says. I don’t have any experience with the cartridge.

I would have to hold one to decide on the square foreshock. I’m wondering if a gate fed tube feed semi could be made? Especially if it was a Mares Leg.

From a technical standpoint I don't see why not. Whether there would be market for it is a different question. I suspect you are looking for the slim lines of a tube mag for this. The problem with tube mags is the same as it's always been - centerfire cartridges and hardnose pointy bullets. Box mags solved that problem. Don't know if you noted that this new semi-auto comes with a flush fit 5rnd and a 10round mag, so you can still have the slim lines if you're willing to compromise on capacity and of course, no need for a gate.
