Anyone at shot show got any information on this rifle? Like the MSRP? I definitely need one. It has that old school nostalgia about it. Reminds me of the Ruger Deer Rifles in 44 mag.

Well…. The peep sights, ambi safety, and tapped for you choice of rail PLUS magwell modularity is good thinking. I also think it looks like the French MAS series which are some of my favorite mil surps. |

Oh ya that’s very reasonable. I’m assuming street price will be in the $850 range. I’m a lever action guy so the walnut stock and old look really appeal to me. Plus I have so many PPC this is something new and different in an old school way. I read that it has virtually no recoil either. It says it’s direct blow block but would be interesting to see what the internals look like. |

In 9mm not so much for that price. |

It has that retro gun vibe in the best kind of way. It looks like it would fit right along next to a BAR or A5 shotgun in terms of astetics. If it's reliable I think it has potential to be a hit.

I wish they made a short throw threaded .45acp Mare's leg that took 1911 mags with classic lines that hint more to steampunk than modern tactical. That would be awesome and a stamp/short stock away from a great quiet sbr.

Making a Beretta 92 magwell for Homesteader is on my radar, but it's too early to make any promises. We need guns ship first. In addition the Beretta 92 magwell for Ruger PC took two years to make, while it went through half a dozen of design approaches. It is a particularly difficult magazine to support aftermarket, unless the gun is designed to take it. I think VP9 would be a child's play, but it's very rarely requested outside of Arfcom. Even less demand than for XD. |

Had my hands on one today. Gave it back really quick. Kind of crude, IMHO. Like a 2x4 carved with a dull machete. Very clunky and shouldered like a shovel. Where they got the price I have no idea. Maybe at $400 I might try it.
Have yet to see a accuracy report. I have my doubts based on experience with other Henry's. |

Held one today. It was heavier than expected and felt overbuilt. Trigger was okish, but only pulled it once. Build quality felt and looked 100% (it is a Henry). Nothing really too objectionable or deal breaking, but think they could have come in a bit lighter.

This doesn't fill the market space better than a Ruger PC carbine IMO. PC Carbine also has take down feature and is several hundred cheaper. No wood furniture though
Homestead is nice but wish they dumped the energy into something like the Lever Action 9mm POF Tombstone. |

I dont care for the takedown feature of the Ruger, and the wood furniture is classy. Though it could definitely be nicer if it was cheaper. Many options this year to spend money on, I cant buy them all at once. Though I do agree with making a 9mm lever gun. |

No disrespect to you guys who are attracted to such things.
But it’s a 9mm RIFLE. When I need to do RIFLE stuff, 9mm doesn’t deliver. It’s fine as a novelty I suppose. If you have time and money for novelties. 9mm in a well-vetted, heavy, short-barreled, suppressed, shoulder-fired, SELECT-FIRE weapon certainly serves a niche role. If you are into that sort of application. This thing serves only to briefly appease the enemies of our right to self-defense, or to scoop up cash from the “it’ll be swell for the women and children” crowd, or for the cover of Outdoor Life magazine. Maybe the idea of hunting rabbits with it or some such. They will make a run of them. Most of the run will sort-of function as advertised. With some ammunition. And if you “got a good one.” People won’t buy them after the initial release. |

As a HD weapon where your max range is measured in feet, not yards, it's superior to a pistol of the same caliber in 2 important areas. 1st, it's much easier to aim accurately and 2nd, the longer barrel gives it about 200fps more velocity and a corresponding muzzle energy increase. Further, it has significantly lower report and muzzle blast than an AR as well. Think of it at close ranges as a M1 Carbine on steroids. Mount a light on it and you're GTG.

I have my doubts based on experience with other Henry's. One guy on youtube had a dud. Jam o matic with the base magazine system. Got it back iirc with the Glock mag adapter which is what he wanted all along. It still glitched for about six mags but seemed to get more reliable. so I guess I am skeptical. I was mildly curious but that $900 price tag is too much for my level of curiosity. |

I followed some of the guys doing this awhile back. I don't believe they ever made a 9mm bolt action from the factory. I could be wrong though... The RIA bolt 22 TCMs, have been re-chambered to 9mm, but the bolt face needs to be modified. RIA had two different bolts, one has a Glock type extractor, and the other has a "long" extractor. Either one needs the face opened up a few thousands of an inch. The case head of the 22 TCM cartridge is the same as the 5.56 (0.378"), vs the 9mm Para (0.394"). So a converted RIA TCM is just a little bit more than a barrel swap. Also to stay on topic: The Homesteader does kind of have a Browning type vibe to it. I would like to see on in the flesh, before I decide if I need one or not.
