Henry Homesteader - Blowback 9mm Carbine

[28Shooter]

I'd be interested and the price, well, look what those used Camp Carbines are fetching these days.

So I had to ask, $780/($827 OTD) at the toy store yesterday. Nothing in stock at the distributor yet..

Well consdiering a Ruger Mini-14 is like $1k, that's not too terrible.

Needs a banana clip.

I like it. If it was 45acp I would be in line to buy it.

Tag teamed with my G21SF using my Glock mags would definitely make me a Happy Camper again since I let my Marlin get away.

Wish they made a classy tube fed lever gun like the Big boy in 9mm, maybe 45 too. The tombstone is pretty much the only 9mm lever gun, but looks stupid and box mag fed, but the mechanism is really cool how it works with rimless cartridges. Should be able to hold about double the capacity of a 357 0r 45 colt lever rifle.

Aint my cup of joe personally but Henry does make nice stuff

I like my .22 lever gun

Nice looking but not sure wouldn't be a buyer. Ruger PC Carbine already had me at hello when they released a few years back. The Ruger also being a Takedown model has an edge IMHO.

Sadly, the Ruger has no wood.

Can you get your hands on a surplus PPSh stock?

Kenny G. modified his Ruger PC Carbine and added a PPSH stock. His hybrid creation is called the PCSH-41 and is a perfect blend of the old and new.

Nice looking gun --but you could buy two highpoints for same money -ugly but they just work and if you ding them up who cares

Interesting video on design and failures this rifle had.

 

[Harrys]

Looks like it sucks canal water.

I have been giving this some additional thought from a manufacturers point of view. I think they figured that they can get a piece of the PCC market without the bad press. It is not built on the hated AR platform yet performs as well and takes "standard" capacity mags as well.

The lefties can't complain about it being a military only weapon as it is as traditional looking as you can get. Now if they can only get the price down.

Get the price down, and the damn thing to work. Both would be great, as I really want to like this rifle.

 

[Trumpet]

I want to hope that the Glock mag variant doesn't have the issues of the Henry mag.

 

[teratos]

Meh, direct blowback.

It's a Henry, you guys should know the price isn't going down. I've sold 1 so far through the shop...it was the NRA special edition and was on the shelf for a whole 2 hours. They run approx ~$900....anything substantially higher is a dealer price gouging their customers. Just something to look for if you are after one...
