Been wishing Ruger would do this, maybe it will happen in a Marlin some day?

Yep, seems like a no-brainer in a Marlin.
Also seems like a good candidate for a rotary mag M77/.327 carbine. An RSI would Also be nice but probably unlikely since the .357 and .44 didn't get that treatment.
Those Henrys look really nice and their reputation is excellent. Love the wood, brass and deep blue look. Never handled one but I might have to get acquainted with one of these.

Not to beat up your cartridge, but if they sold, Ruger would make them. I don't think the round has taken the shooting public by storm.

That's a good point but Ruger seems to have embraced the 4-in-1 round in wheel guns because they offer it across five product lines; Blackhawk, Single Seven, SP, GP and LC (R&X). I think I also read that Federal collaborated with Ruger on the development. There seems to be a consensus (or maybe hype) that it delivers near .357 energy with less recoil but a loud bark. Granted, that's not an issue for a long gun. Anyhow, interest seems to be growing so SR might have plans for a niche product.
I just acquired a super rare Seven that is in excellent condition but has been fired. Looking for some ammo. Maybe see for myself what the buzz is all about.

I have a few .327's by Ruger myself. I enjoy them for sure. But if they, (Ruger) decides to build any carbines,, I'd bet it'll be a while. Due to higher demands for other calibers first.

Those .327's are fun to shoot,, but factory ammo is HARD to find right now. Luckily,, I made sure I had plenty of brass long ago.

This ammo just became plentiful and cheaper than .32 h&r magnum.

Last week the cheapest was .89@ at White Birch. So I bought some. Now look.
