Has anyone heard when they will be available? Supposed to be released in March but nothing yet.

Got another gun safe and need some more rifles to put in it.

    I've been on this since January.
    Just received an email yesterday, in response to my direct questions regarding the continued delays of the Big Boy steel .327fed/mags.

    Henry customer service told me they are working hard to correct an issue they are having getting .32H&R mags to feed reliably.

    They said they would rather delay the release, than release a product that the customer needs to return.

    They are still shooting for late May 2017.

    I hope they get these things released soon.
    My FFL has had a deposit for one since January.

    I completely forgot about this thread.
    I finally got my hands on my Henry Big Boy steel in .327 fed/mag, and I couldn't be happier wit my purchase.

    It cycles and fires .327's, .32H&R mag, and even .32S&W long!
    With the .32 longs it's like firing a cap gun.
    If you're outside you wouldn't need ear protection.

    I've played around with all of the factory offerings except the Buffalo Bore stuff, but those are next.

    I hope the Henry's catch on.
    It would be a tremendous help in getting ammo manufacturers to take a closer look at this cartridge.

    Have you tried any regular .32 S&W in it? Sounds like a fun gun!

    Yes, and they will fire and eject just fine. Feeding, not so much.
    Strictly a single-shot hand load proposition.

    Enemies of armed self-defense focus on the gun. They ignore the person protected with that gun.

    I've been wanting a Ruger SP101 in .327. The Henry would made a good companion. The reason I haven't bought either is the caliber isn't legal to deer hunt with in Indiana.

    I remember being so certain that someone would make a .357 Maximum carbine. I wonder why it didn't happen but now it seems that the cartridge is dead.

    It IS legal in Indiana on private property.

    I guess it is. I thought the case was to short. Turns out it is 1.2" which makes it legal in rifle and handgun. HMMMMMMMMMMM
