I will get pictures soon as I can. Right now I am working out of town and the schedule has me everywhere for the next week except at home. UPS shows it will deliver Monday, the lgs knows my schedule is anything but predictable.

I have been looking high and low, in out of way gun stores across the US and trying to call in favors, but I think I have one finally. I wanted the 357 Carbine CCH but have a steel one ordered from guns com. I ordered there on Sunday night and got email Monday morning saying it was out of stock as I put in my payment. I have a confirmation email, so waiting to see what I get in the morning email.

The demand seems much greater than the supply.

Here is hoping.
Look on Gunbroker.com. I am sure they will have a new one at a good price. I got my 357 Big Boy Classic from a seller on there. I paid $895 new a few months ago.

EDIT: There is a new Henry 357 Carbine on there now for $954.99.

My LGS verified it delivered today. However, I am in Atlanta for two days, then off to Philly and NC. Hopefully be home on Monday to start the process.

Like JEBar, I have and shoot the BBS 357. I never handled a sweeter rifle. It is so easy to carry and shoot. I am jealous of the CC finish. Oh well. Nothing to complain about. I know you will love the ease of that rifle. Looking forward to your reports.

Nice, which did you get, the 16" or 20" model?

RP
The 16.
I have a 16” BBS in both .357 and .44 Mag. Definitely my favorite two levers. I’m waiting on Henry to get their poop together and make a .30-30 in a carbine…
