Who else is looking for one?

Just curious how many in this forum are waiting to get their hands on one? And if have already purchased one, where did you find it? I have been checking daily on most of the more common on-line gun dealers and they all say sold out.

From previous posts, I assume you are talking about the "Homesteader" 9mm carbine ?

Well, the thread is in the Homesteader sub-forum. :roll: :lol:

Not me. No desire here.

Not me they are way overpriced in my book. Dont care for the looks. Rugers PC carbine is half the price and its a takedown. YMMV

I like it but would want to hold one in my hands before buying one.

I like it's looks well enough. Non threatening, campy. It's what I would choose as a camp long gun.

I've had the Ruger - too heavy, bulky, works flawlessly, buddy has one, it is boringly accurate, just not my choice for my purpose.
I still have a 9mm AK pattern firearm, it's intended purpose is decidedly not campy! ;)

All that said, I would choose a Homesteader 45 ACP over 9mm for a camp gun.

My two cents (or so). I've added a suggestion on the Henry site. Now waiting... :|

Don’t know if I would ever pick one up but I do like the walnut stock.

Do we even know what the Henry weighs?
I agree that the 45 would be a better choice, but
even at that that I will still not be buying one.
I have way too many now. :o
If I need a SA rifle for the zombie apocalypse, the two AR's should be sufficient. ;)

Homesteader weight is 6.6 lbs and the Ruger weighs 7 lbs. Im not sure I could tell much difference in 4/10s of a lb.

:lol: So true.
Like the weight difference between the BH and the King Cobra. ;) :lol: :lol:
The only real thing I like about it is the wood furniture.

I want to see one in the flesh before making a decision, but I’m definitely interested.

Could also be I was not too awful happy about the mass at the front of the rifle - it was an adj butt (tube and pad only) and the Mlok fore end. Balance was likely not to my liking. It was fun, don't get me wrong, just not enough for me to want one. And I don't want the 9mm Homesteader, I would like a 45ACP, just cause ;)

Not everyone likes the same thing. Its all good. I dont like the tacticool levergun look either. Tacticool belongs with AR’s not leverguns. But apparently there is enough people out there that do or Henry would not have built them.

I realized it was an oversight as noted in a previous post that I guess you missed.
