Smith & Wesson's actual email is www.smith-wesson.com - 'not' what's listed in this article...

Might be a good idea to contact the actual factory and report back.

Widespread drama and buildup togenerate buzz & BS prior to some meaningless announcement at the shotshow.

I hate slimey marketeers.

Brings to mind Fletcher Bidwell Spencer's, and the "new" Merwin & Hulbert debacle.

Also brings memories of some Pakistani outfit making Webley Fosberys again.

The good Professor was right, not a Volcanic   >:(
It appears to be an expensive competitor to the Henry Big Boy:

Edit:  they also make a much cheaper version that is 'Tactical' :

Looks like a hybrid version of a Marlin rifle crossed with a Henry? With a safety that no one wants? I can see these being bargain bin specials in a short time. Not a fan.

Hi
I can see a new tactical lever gun, to avoid the whole ban all "modern" 100 year old designed semi-automatics AND I can see copies of each and every lever gun for us historical sorts.

I DON'T see a market for a historically named 1854 (historically as in 1854 is a long time ago) with a Picatinny rail.

Of course, my degree is Engineering, not marketing.
