Boy oh boy, classic "kit gun". If a guy needed a handy little working gun in the woods that would be just the ticket.

My single ten and Browning Buckmark were the only 22 pistols that survived the great gun safe purge of 2013. I really like those Rugers.

I didn't know Ruger still chambered in .327, thought they were just going to let that cartridge die

 

[brrrrt]

I just clicked on Gunbot, .327 is well stocked. Might be a good choice.

 

[snorko]

If Marlin would make an 1894 in this caliber, 16.5" round barrel, laminate stock, I would be happy

Yeah, the 327FM would be a great woods roaming gun and if some rifles were available maybe the cartridge would take off.
The old 32-20 was utilized as much or more in long guns as in handguns, the 327 could be a handy little combo for varmints and small game. I'd like to see a falling block or even break open single shot rifle as well as some lever choices.

 

[snorko]

Break action would be cool: .327 Fed, 32 H&R Mag, 32 S&W Long, .32 S&W and (theoretically and I have done it but don't do it) .32 acp.

ETA Interesting, just read the Lipsey's write up and they include .32 acp, cool.

I bet it would be a whole other animal out of a rifle ballistic wise as well..The difference between a .357 out of a revolver compared to a rifle is one helluva jump in power!!!

BTW any rain in St. Croix this week? I have finally learned to appreciate the old axom, "You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry."

Nerd....

Ooh, even cooler, can you imagine scaling up a Browning ATD to handle a .327 Federal?

We had a 5 minute toad strangler then maybe 15 minutes of showers yesterday.
You know maybe a Ruger 77/327 stainless bolt gun would be cool too.
One of the Timberwolf pumps would be great , just like the 32-20 pump guns of yore.

I always wanted a Timberwolf in .357 magnum.....

Well if me, you and Snorko ever find ourselves CEO's of a gun manufacturer the Company would go broke in a year and the Board of Stockholders would say to us, "You know you three have come up with gun ideas and the only ones sold were to you three and all of you requested employee discounts on the weapons purchased....What do you have to say for yourselves?"

Us in unison...."Sirs and Madams.....It's tough being Renaisance men in the 21st Century....So do we get a greenlight on our airweight lever action in 9mm with the rail on the botom or what? We need one to go with our compact 9mm's..."

....So do we get a greenlight on our airweight lever action in 9mm with the rail on the botom or what?

Sadly yesterday I was looking into how I might add a small rail section to my chopped, shortened Teflon coated green Marlin 336 for a flashlight. The one project I've done which may send me to Hell.

And yes, we three in charge of a gun company brings to mind the Simpsons episode where Homer took over an auto manufacturer.

It would appear the comrades at Lipseys too are , if not renaissance men at least have a fondness for the classic . I'm a bit surprised they didn't have a batch of SP101s made up too. Perhaps in time.
I think your airweight 9mm lever gun w/ rails..... well not airweight and not 9mm but you can have the rails.
