I don't have a tracking number, I am just waiting.
I would check my favorite online shop about 10 times a day and they had them in stock for about 8-10 minutes. As soon as I bought and paid, they listed them as out of stock again. Don't know if they got just a few or they sold like hotcakes!
I was on their "Notify me when in stock" list, but that never works as by the time I get the email, they are long gone.

Received my tracking# today. I will wait patiently knowing everyone is working like dogs to move stuff this time of year. I also use a one man FFL who is only open Thu-Sat from 12-5 for pickup. Patience is a virtue right?

Yes, but not a cowboy pistol. I have a 1998 S&W 686+. Used to have Blackhawk, but I traded it to my Dad years a go.

I have a S&W Model 66 no dash and it is a nice smooth shooter. Here's my .357 Henry combo revolver the Cimarron Evil Roy.

I ordered the rifle initially because of the extra capacity and a little more accuracy. It arrived damaged and at the same time the new side gates came out. So I asked if I could swap it to the side gate carbine model and they did. I changed my mind to the carbine because with the side gate I can always top off the magazine. In my hands, I doubt there’s not much difference in accuracy between the two. My Carbine is very accurate and little lighter. I still like the rifle, you can’t go wrong with either.

A bit disappointed that I didn't wait for one of these. Then again no telling when I would have been able to find one locally or online.

Just my 2 cents worth but back a few years ago I had Marlin’s in handgun calibers and I didn’t like loading with the side gate. The shorter cartridges caused me to chew up my thumb loading the mag. Rifle length cartridges are much easier to load. In my opinion the best feature of the Big Boys is the ability to be loaded via the tube. Of course as long as Henry gives us both options on our Big Boys we’re the big winners here.!
