This will be a very preliminary review of the gun as all info is second hand. But, from a very good source.
My LGS manager called this morning, with the gun in hand.
Early details are the barrel is marked "327 Federal / 32 H&R Magnum." That detail I really like.
Wood grain is Straight, but says checkering and wood fit are supreme workmanship. Also, super slick action.
Paperwork says 7 lbs and he confirms. Gold bead front sight and white diamond rear.
More to come and hope others post as they receive theirs.

My TC Carbine easily pushed a 100 grn XTP to 2000+ fps. The American Eagle factory ammo is even faster.
This should make a nearly perfect walk around varmint/predator rifle since it holds 10 rounds.
I really like the fact it handles 32 Magnum through 327 Federal length rounds. Gives options when wanting to use those long nose bullets. Just seat them in 32 Magnum cases.

Mine will be mostly for CAS use, with my 32 H&R Single Sixes, for MRS...

Are these all brass guns or are they releasing steel guns also?

Are these all brass guns or are they releasing steel guns also? Mine is the steel gun. Its a couple pounds lighter than the brass frame gun. The brass frame octagon barrel guns look great on the rack, but terribly heavy. I don't buy them for decoration.

My thoughts exactly. I was afraid they would release the brass first and have to wait for the steel. Now I need to hear reactions to rifle length verses carbine length. I'm thinking short and nimble is gonna be fun.

Mine is as described in the first post. The factory 100 grain 327 federal loads just exceed 2100 fps with good accuracy.32 H&R magnum loads also feed extremely well. The 100 gr Mihec feeds well crimped in groove. It fed with some issues the much longer 115 Gr.NOE Keith SWC. I cast some of the 115 Mihec loads last night,which are longer than the 100,but shorter than the 135 sledgehammer and my LBT LFN 137gr. Will try to find the seating depth for these later today.

Great news on all counts. Thanks for posting your findings.
