I like it but the MSRP is a bit steep at 928 dollars. If it comes down to 600 retail I will gladly pick up another 9mm carbine.

Looks like a nice well balanced gun.

I thought it was pricey myself. I doubt it will ever sell for $600. Thats about what the plastic stocked Ruger 9mm sells for. The Henry will have nice looking wood on it and I am guessing a street price of $700-$800. I hope its a little lighter that the Ruger too. That seems to be the biggest gripe about the Ruger. And thats sort of puzzling. The ruger shows to weigh 6.8 pounds. Are shooters so weak today that a less than 7 pound rifle is too heavy? My favorite BP rifle in 45 caliber weighs just over 9 pounds. And a lot of G.I.s carried 9 pound M-1 Garands in WW2. I guess those were tough farm boys that had a little muscle on them. Even my Winchester 94 in 30-30 weighed 7.25 pounds and I thought it felt feather light and was a pleasure to carry in the woods.

Anyway I hope its a hit for Henry. I sure would like to see one in person. I bet they look great and feel great. Its nice to see real wood and steel guns being made. I am so tired of plastic.

 

I want a pump action tube mag 357 and/or 44 mag from Henry for say 600 dollars.

The semi auto PCC in 9mm is interesting, but not as interesting as a 357 or 44 mag would be.

If you have never shot a 9mm carbine see if you can find someone who has one you can try out. I bet you like them. I have both the 357 and 44 mag lever actions and they are some of my favorite guns to shoot. The 357 Marlin is my most favorite firearm of the 60+ guns I own. But a semi auto PCC is just in a class all its own. They are a butt load of fun to shoot. Sort of like a big 22 auto.

I am willing to try anything that shoots. For example I really like shooting BP firearms. I own several. But I normally turn my nose up at the Inline BP rifles. I never wanted one. Then I watched a guy on YT shooting them at 100 yards and blowing the crap out of water jugs and doing it with not only the hyper expensive belted type bullets and BP pellets but using the same kind of lead bullets I already cast and the same real loose Black Powder I have on hand already and getting the same results.

I was impressed. Impressed enough I am on the "Notify Me" list at muzzle-loaders.com for one of the CVA rifles with the Bergera barrels. I never thought I would do that but thankfully I have an open mind. I shot a 17HMR at the range another fellow owned. Nope. Not for me. I will stick with my 22 mags. But at least I gave it a try. Isn't that what its supposed to be about?

 

Anybody know what this thing weighs? Most Henry's I've handled need wheels and a pony to lug them around.

 

The octagon barrel Henry’s weigh about 8 pounds. The others weigh 6 to 7 pounds

 

Granted, I'm out of many loops.
Don't ARs weigh 6 or 7 pounds?
And shoot a much more powerful round?
And cost a ****load leas than $900?

Plane Jane AR without a big barrel or exotic components will typically be 7 to 7.5 pounds before you put a scope on it or slap a mag in.

 

Huh. I feel like it’s solving a problem that doesn’t exist. Looks are uninspiring, proprietary mags, heavy, STOOOOPID pricey. I can buy a Sub2000 or build an AR9 and get a ton of ammo for that price.

 

Sounds like its not for you.

 

What is your .357 PCC?

 

In the post above yours I wrote that my 357 lever is a Marlin. I bought mine around 2000. Then the 44 mag around 2002. Both have Ballard rifling in the barrel. Both do very well with lead bullets. I was hoping by now Ruger would be building new Marlins and shoving then out the door by the truck load but I have given up on Ruger ever doing so. I can't figure out why they spent $30 million dollars to by Marlin and then after two+ years can only build a limited amount of 45-70 rifles.

Now about the only options for a 357 lever action is the Rossi or the Henry. Or a very expensive used 357 from Marlin or Winchester. Or maybe one from Browning. Or an 1873 copy from Uberti. If there are more I can't think of what they are. To me they are even more fun than the 9mm carbines.

 

I just completed a 6 lb AR, using a 16” Bushmaster “ultralight” barrel, and a KEArms polymer lower. 5.9 lbs with a Primary Arms red dot and a sling on it, no mag.
$500 including the $120 sale priced red dot…

My AR9 is a pistol, but it was far cheaper than the Henry. Tennessee Arms polymer lower, 7.5” barrel…very light.

And I have 9 mm Hi Point carbines that cost me $120. Even the newest 10 mm Hi Point carbine was only $320.

Henry has no appeal for me, simply due to price. I recently bought a Rossi .22 lever gun, mostly because the price was so much better than the Henry.

 

Not a collecter,but have some Henrys because of the classic wood lever design,just got another last week.
Maybe I don't look hard enough,but don't see them much under the msrp often,new..maybe get lucky with a used private sale.
I'm sure its "better" than a hi-point,but is it 700-800$ better?
Like others said,so many other options out there,for less...its a Henry,but what does it do that the others don'T for less?

 

When Obama took office and there was a killer run on ammo and guns to a lesser extent causing the cost of 22 rim fire to be out of this world if and when you could find it, I went to a PCC in 9mm.

I went with, yes, a Hi-Point 995 TS-FG in 9mm for 289.00 out the door NIB from Cabela's. Yes its a bit bulky, its a bit heavy for what it is, but like the energizer bunny, that thing just keeps on going and going and going. I have yet to find a brand or load of ammo it would digest without a hick up! Accuraccy aint nothing to snub either. I kinda hate the fact that its 10 round single stack mags, but I didnt get it to go to war, I got it to hunt small game if I had to and I already had two 9mm Handguns and a considerable stash of ammo. The fact it could be used for defense was just an added plus although there are other options I would prefer much more. There is now a decent after market that caters to this gun now as well. Nothing like the 10/22 of course but there are several up-grades available depending on your taste and needs.

 

I want one for simple reason of sharing mags with the p320. 21 rounds sound like fun. Is there anybody else that makes one that uses p320 mags?

 

The big bulky square forearm stock looks like it could lose a half pound by rounding it out.

 

Here is a current review of the Homesteader

 

I'm glad I got the Ruger instead of this. Maybe the Glock mags would work better,but I'm not spending 1000$ to find out.
