I saw on another site that Henry will be offering a 327 Federal Lever Actions in 2017. Four models are to be offered, Big Boy Classic, Big Boy Classic Carbine and the Big Boy Steel & Big Boy Steel Carbine. link

Yes indeed...I contacted them myself about it a few times, I'm a huge fan of that cartridge!

I'll buy the first Henry Steel I can get my little gun grabbing hands on.
My LGS already on notice.

Not me. Excuse me for being a spoilsport boys, but unless they offer a 327 in a scaled down package I'll shoot the 357 and bigger lever guns.

I'm totally on top of one, provided I can get one in a configuartion to use for CAS, & as long as it'll feed 32 H&R Magnum

Would love to have one of the Marlin 1894s that they made back in the 1980s with the 20 or 22" tapered barrel and 2/3s magazine... A friend has them in .32-20 and .25-20 and they are just perfectly balanced rifles...in .327 it would be great...
Nice however that Henry has stepped up to the plate and made lever guns in .41 Magnum and .327...while Freedom Group (Remlin) just lags behind...

My Henry Steel rifles in 41 Mag and 45 Colt are about the same size as the Marlin 1894. Weigh about the same too. Built like a small Marlin 336. Action works and locks the same as well. It's the only Henry I'd consider in 327 Federal.

Thanks, I was thinking the Henry was bigger than an 1894 but it's been a long time since I handled a Henry.

The brass frame guns are like boat anchors. Beautiful to look at, not so much to carry.
The Steel model is a pleasure to carry and shoot.
