Henry Homesteader - Blowback 9mm Carbine

[calicojack]

Meh, direct blowback.

Lol! Yeah - primitive. Actually, direct blowback is hard on firing pins and (on the AR platform) triggers.

Really wish someone would come out with a tube fed 44 mag semi Auto,,
SWC for deer management

I think Ruger did once

Interesting video on design and failures this rifle had.

Wow - at least my Foxtrot Mike direct blowback is reliable. That Henry sucks. Yeah - I'm going to build another radial delayed blowback in 9mm as an SBR and pass on the Henry.

That Chiappa M1 Carbine clone in 9mm would be much better than this thing.

Well, looks like they are now running around the $850 mark on the high end...so maybe they did drop the price. I was lucky to get another and it did indeed cost less. Perhaps a good trend?

Resurrecting this thread since there was an article on it in the NRA mag. Since it takes Glock or M&P mags, which I have lots of, I would buy one but not at the price of my first new Motorcycle.

I guess one of their marketing folks figured that the demonrats would pass more assault weapon laws and those that wanted a semi with a large capacity would buy these.

The aesthetics don't do to much for me but it would make a nice truck gun to have in a pinch. In many Southern and Western towns, you could walk down the street with one, (mag removed) and no one would shoot you a second glance. Now if you did the same with an AR, some Karen would be aiming her phone at you.

Henry specializes in FUDD guns. I wish the Ruger PCC had wood on it!

The Ruger looks like a AW though.

The one that’s BooGALoood does. But not the basic Pop-Pop model.

There are a few aftermarket wood stocks for the PCC . But lets just say the cost makes the Homesteader a good deal by comparison .

In a couple years , likely to start seeing wood/ laminate PCC stocks from the usual sources , at usual price ranges .


Meanwhile , a can of Spruce Green Krylon would make a PCC look " sportier" and less tacti-cool .

You could spray it in rainbow colors so that it wouldn't scare the pervs.

Good chuckle !

But Krylon Spruce on a stock actually looks good , in contrast to blue bbl'ed action . Butt plate could go either way of leaving black , or painting .

Make it in 10mm, and I would buy one.
