Who else is looking for one?

Post by navvet8189 » Fri Feb 17, 2023 5:33 pm

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 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.
