Henry homesteader 9mm semi auto

[zaitcev]

I believe the Henry rep said MSRP was a bit over $1,000 but street price would probably end up under $900.

Remarkably enough, I saw a plain H0027-H9 with "buy now" of $832 at Gunbroker. Of course that is with Henry magazines.

I got to handle (but not shoot) one, and it's on the need to acquire list.

I've seen a few of the online drop shippers selling them for $800 already. I very much want to try shooting one before buying anything but if it ends up being reliable this has some appeal to me.

Kinda interesting carbine but the comb looks too low to use the optic comfortably. I suspect nearly everyone will use an optic of some kind so this seems like a big omission to me.

I would say that's true of most basic hunting rifles I've tried as well. I pretty much always have to build up the stock to get the cheek weld where I like it when shooting through a scope.

I picked one up today in mid-Michigan for $820, a Henry only magazine model. Was told they received a dozen about 5 days before, half of them Glock mag models. Those sold out almost immediately. Mine was the last one other than the display model, so they have been jumping off the shelves.

It is very solid with nice wood and stippling. Nicely balanced with a positive safety and mag release. Trigger is as expected, moderate creep with a weight about 5lbs 10oz. I like the sights more than I expected, so I am not sure if I will mount anything on it. Haven’t shot it yet, expect to shoot it in the next several days.

Now if someone like Magpul comes out with a stock/forearm offering...

Out of the current competitors, I've narrowed it down to the Ruger PC and this one.

I know you some of you guys will want a Beretta 92 magazine adapter for this Henry, won't you? Fortunately Homesteader comes with a P320 and M&P adapters from the factory, so it should not take insane contortions like the one in Ruger PC. I think I can justify a business expense of buying one, purely for the R&D purposes!

Yes, please.

For those of us who live in states which ban some rifles based on cosmetics, this looks pretty attractive.

Yes, except the threaded barrel alone makes it an "assault weapon" in IL. I'd be shocked if a non-threaded option didn't come out down the road but I'm surprised the non-threaded wasn't their initial release.
