T/C is supposed to be,again - it is in their 2008 catalog in both pistol and rifle barrel lengths.  WRT ammo - Aguila is making it again (Centurion 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum)

Makes sense in a way, what with the current popularity of the similar-caliber .204 Ruger.   Strike while the iron's hot......

It was a dismal failure for Remington.
However, the ammo collectors cleaned up. Last I saw, Remington 5mm was going for about $75 a box.

Shooters that I've talked to have always had good things to say about the round.
