Love Henry, feel a large swell of patriotism anytime I handle my own. Always my go to for lever action purchases with their motto of "Made in USA or not at all".
@@68able2 There are tons of extremely well made foreign guns as well; Pre-US Sig, CZ, Beretta, Benelli, H&K, even the Japanese made Winchesters and Italian western guns are fantastic. But I do get your sentiment, I am really hoping the new Ruger-Marlin lever guns turn out better than the Remington produced ones, I love quality American lever-actions.
Bought one last week. I had to put a cheap fixed 4 power scope on it..... old eyes. I love it. It shoots great. I have a couple 32 rnd mags and a bunch of other glock mags from my pistols and a lot of ammo. It's so fun to shoot. My wife loves to shoot it as well.
Thank you Allen for an excellent review. Much appreciated. Henry's decision to offer compatible magazine wells for Glock and Smith & Wesson magazines really broadens the appeal of this rifle. I'm also a big fan of aperture sights and was glad to see Henry use them on a carbine like this. Thanks again.
Great review, as usual. My Marlin Camp Carbine is still an excellent working rifle since the 1980's (Thanks in part to collecting parts when possible over the years). My concern, that I expressed to Henry's president, Anthony Imperato, was that the Homesteader is not NY legal due to the threaded muzzle. He promptly emailed back (Yes, he actually does this) that Henry has more developmental plans for the rifle in the future. I'm a bit of a classic looks guy, so that blued steel and walnut is calling out to me!
Great review. You just about covered everything! If I can get one for under $800 I'll go for it. I love my Ruger PC carbine, and my Henry lever gun. The quality is what makes it different.
Hi Allen, im a lefty so i asume when i swap the chargering handle, the emptys will port from the left? Sorry for the Daft question 👍..........................................................
When I was at Cabelas I was shown the Homesteader, Kel-Tec 2000, and The Ruger PCC. I bought the Ruger because the Homesteader was too expensive and the 2000 didn't seem sturdy enough. If you bend the hinges where the barrel folds so it doesn't line up anymore, you're screwed.
Looks like a traditionally configured carbine as they intended but I still wish they'd put on an attachment for a flashlight or maybe in this case, a kerosene lantern.
Absolutely love that Henry decided to produce this carbine. I do wish they would add a Non Threaded Model as an option, as Ruger Did with their PCC. Many of us live highly restrictive states. The dreaded threaded barrel is a no no. I have already written to Henry, BEGGING them to do so. Great review as always.
@@Pler1978 perhaps just the more traditional look with the wood furniture. Non take down vs takedown. Some may prefer one over the other. Just spitballing here.
This has a 16.37" barrel. That is just over 41 and a half centimeters for metric people. I imagine you could drop deer at 200 feet with something like this. Looking forward to a Paul Harrell review. Made in the USA with quality throughout.
I like the versatility of being able to use other OEM magazines with just a change out of the mag well. It gives the shooter greater flexibility to use what they have readily available.
I love my Ruger carbine but I'm definitely going to pick up that Henry. Love that stock and since I have more S&Ws than anything else I'd love to see them come out with the S&W mag well. Would really like to see a .40 S&W or .45 ACP but I can always settle for the plinker.
@OEO I plan on stopping in one day to see one. But if you compare it to the Ruger PCC directly, which do you prefer? Oh Lord, OEO might end up selling me another PCC. 🤐
Nice no nonsense review. Might have to find one to purchase. Ive been thinking about a non AR platform with a detachable mag . My remington 88 is a but stock tube mag.
The rmovable charge handle was the only questionable thing I noticed as well. I am a lefty . it is great to be able to swithch . but looks to easy to loose
I would have liked to get the Marlin but if you price them used they are up there with new carbines. The Henry is notably more than I payed for a famous brand AR rifle though. IF there is a police/security market for PCC, Glock should get onboard with a version. Because they could sell to civs also. I wonder if any of these carbines will stand up to the WInchester mil type 9MM ammo out now that is notably hot. Because I bet that the MV gain would be worth it in a longer barrel.
Where to begin with the issues I have with mine? Let's just say that if you are interested in this unit, wait for another year or so to see if it make it. I've had mag issues with Henry and Glock mag well, S&W mag well is not available yet, rear sight and threaded barrel cap seems to be installed with red lock tite, gone thru 2 Glock mag wells and parts missing from both of them.... And more, so, good luck.
As someone who also owns the Ruger (and I might add that Alan was my salesman that day), the Ruger is kinda fuddy, chunky, and gimmicky though. It could easily have been done without the takedown and also been put on a diet.
@@Salty_Balls The thing I always hated about my Ruger was it's front heaviness. But adding a Magpul stock was a big improvement. Also when ejection started getting sluggish after 500 rnds, installed Mcarbo tool steel extractor and bolthead pin kit. It's run like a top ever since.
Some of those were imported to the USA years ago, but as for spare parts, they are too scarce to have alot of them available. Either check ebay and parts sellers, or have one made.
@@tomsherwood4650 Hi Tom looks like i will have one made, there are a hole bunch of Destroyer Carbines out there that need the EXTRACTORS some one could make a few bucks having them made. Do you have a name of some one that could make them ? seem like it would be real easy for a machinist to crank out a bunch of them. Thanks i subed ya too.
Shame I bought the Ruger PCC. I would have bought the Henry. I like Ruger and I like Henry as well, but the Henry Homesteader is a better looking rifle.
i think these would be a good gun for police forces to have in the squad cars, the officers would always have magazines available if they use glock hand guns
I'd love to have one of these, but it will never happen. Sadly, with a 16.37 inch (41.58 cm) barrel, these rifles fall into the restricted firearm category in Canada. That means they will not sell well up here, not when the Ruger PC carbine with its longer barrel isn't restricted and costs less.
You really think they won't just make a version with a longer barrel? Ruger did that; the version of the PC9 we get up here has a longer barrel than the American version (18.5 inches vs 16 inches).
Alot of naysayers because it's not tactical or powerful and it's expensive. I think there's plenty of guys who want a nice looking PCC for plinking. As far as the price, be realistic about what quality American manufacturing costs these days. If the Homesteader is of the same quality as Henry's leaver actions, it's worth it.
Love Henry, feel a large swell of patriotism anytime I handle my own. Always my go to for lever action purchases with their motto of "Made in USA or not at all".
getting made in usa stuff gives you patriotism not only by placebo because it turns out when its made in usa its just always better
patriotism, oldest existing brainwash out of all of them.

Absolutely love the retro look of years gone by!!!🇺🇸 Nice review!👍
The only reason I passed on that rifle is that I already own several pistol caliber carbines. That one is a beautiful rifle. Great job, Allen.
I mean I love that you can do the old west combo of not only having the same cartridge in your handgun and rifle but now also use the same magazines.
Thank you Allen for an excellent review. Much appreciated. Henry's decision to offer compatible magazine wells for Glock and Smith & Wesson magazines really broadens the appeal of this rifle.

Love how the safety works like on my Mossberg 500
I see Allen, I click the upvote button. It’s that simple. Love the reviews!

I hope it comes in 10mm in the future.
I think it looks just fine with the 33/32rd mags.
When the .45 comes out, I'm buying one.
My dad used to have the Marlon 45 camp carbine back in the late eighties when I was young kid
Beautiful little carbine and a great show and tell, as always, thanks Allen.
If they would make this in 10mm I would go buy one right now! This is such a nice gun and would be so much fun!
or 357
Thanks
It is a good looking gun. A welcome break from the trend toward everything being tacti-cool.
Great review. You just about covered everything! If I can get one for under $800 I'll go for it. I love my Ruger PC carbine, and my Henry lever gun. The quality is what makes it different.

Good stuff. I like it. 🇺🇸👍🏼🤟🏼✌🏼
Looks like a handy carbine, I like it.
Can't wait to get mine!
I like it it’s got a ton of potential for different needs. Very cool

deer at 200 yards with 9mm....Hahahaha...sure Goober......
@@chadhaire1711 Are dyslexic? How does your mind confuse yards with feet? Yes, iron sights, 200 feet.
Then U r just as dumb as me---all range distance is done at yards or meters....never feet. That is a first
@@chadhaire1711 forgive me, I was a bottle baby.
And also a goober?
...had an old Marlin and a S&W 459.
Could buy 20 rd extended mags.
What a blast!
Great review Sir!! Thank you
I like the versatility of being able to use other OEM magazines with just a change out of the mag well. It gives the shooter greater flexibility to use what they have readily available.
this thing is wayyyy cool & awesomely retro looking, has a BAR look to it!!! although a wee bit smaller!!!
The homesteader gives quite a nod towards a Browning BAR MK3 in looks. I'm interested. Great that it's made in USA.
I love my Ruger carbine but I'm definitely going to pick up that Henry. Love that stock and since I have more S&Ws than anything else I'd love to see them come out with the S&W mag well.
Would really like to see a .40 S&W or .45 ACP but I can always settle for the plinker.
Henry says they offer a S&W M&P mag well. It's on their website.
Great video Alan! You do the best reviews. I’m very much interested in this PCC from Henry.
Great 🎉 Review …. Thank You !
🇺🇸
My biggest regret was selling marlin camp rifle now i want one of these hope they make bigger calibers
Marlin camp also came in 45acp
And used 1911 mags.
@OEO I plan on stopping in one day to see one. But if you compare it to the Ruger PCC directly, which do you prefer?
Oh Lord, OEO might end up selling me another PCC. 🤐
I just got a Henry lever action in 45 colt and I thought I was done. Might have to rethink that. lol
Nice no nonsense review. Might have to find one to purchase. Ive been thinking about a non AR platform with a detachable mag . My remington 88 is a but stock tube mag.
If they made a magwell for Beretta 92 mags, that would be an instant buy for me
Great review! Thank you!
Would like to have seen a pull test gauge on trigger. I will probably keep my CX4 and dump the PC9 if it comes with Beretta 92 mag well.
If they make a magazine well for CZ magazines in the future I’ll buy it.
If they make it in slightly larger caliber I'd buy one.
Great Review!
I like it, not crazy about the removable charging handle though. I bet a lot of those will be lost.
The rmovable charge handle was the only questionable thing I noticed as well. I am a lefty . it is great to be able to swithch . but looks to easy to loose
@@timothyevans2183 It would probably be better if it was a captured design that required bolt removal to switch sides.
Would love to see one in .45
As much as I like my 9mm carbine, I would like to see a .45ACP carbine from Henry.
LOL....NOBODY wants a 45 carbine....all 45 carbines have been dropped by gun makers..they do not sell.....

Its beautiful and even so its newer it looks more classic than the marlin.

Very good video.
Would love to see this gun in a larger caliber such as 357 or 45 long colt.
They make one in 45acp, and I'm getting one
never happen
Nice rifle, not the thousand dollar price tag nice, but nice.
I'd love a Henry carbine that takes glock 10mm. mags.
a carbine in 10 mill would be great for canada and canadians
Great for Justin Trudeau, too.
I love Henry... BUT, the Ruger PC 9 mm comes in at about HALF the price! I love my Ruger...

@@Thomas-yw9eo I definitely agree about how front heavy it is. Just imagine if they hadn't fluted the barrel. Yikes.
You can always put a couple extra mags in your back pocket.
So this will accept Glock mags straight out of the box? Did I understand that correctly??
Would love one in 44
Will their be a 45 auto Version?
How about a lever action 10 12 rd maybe ?
Im gonna have to lay my hands on one of these for testing!
Looks like a sweet rifle!
Let's see a video on take-down and cleaning the Henry Homesteader.
Any chance they'll ever come out with one in a Caliber with more thump? Maybe a .44mag, or even a 45ACP?
how about .44 automag!
@@alwenke212 Do they even make .44 automag anymore?
It'd be ideal for hunting rabbits or deer in the south.For hunting running game.
God I want one of these, but the price just isn’t right for what it is… you have to really want this specific PCC to pull the trigger
What is the loaded weight with a ten round magazine?
Ruger had two different PCC over the decades.
English hello have you see the Spanish Destroyer Carbine ? I am looking for an extractor for the bolt ?
Some of those were imported to the USA years ago, but as for spare parts, they are too scarce to have alot of them available. Either check ebay and parts sellers, or have one made.

just imagine if they make these in magnum versions using desert eagle mags.
Shame I bought the Ruger PCC. I would have bought the Henry. I like Ruger and I like Henry as well, but the Henry Homesteader is a better looking rifle.
With the ability to use multiple magazines, that would be interesting ,,if Henry's were not so over priced.
I'm sure its a nice rifle but the MSRP is way to expensive for a rifle that is really just for plinking.
$800 street price. Probably be down to $725 by end of year.
Small game and varmint control would be fun with this.
i think these would be a good gun for police forces to have in the squad cars, the officers would always have magazines available if they use glock hand guns

I would be amazed that you know who would even let those into the country now. I figured you were all about to be back to shooting arrows soon.
It's a Fudd gun but if it takes 33 round glock mags I want one
Wish this came in 10mm I'd definitely buy it ! Still very nice gun.
I cant find one for sale. who has them?
I want one but $1000.00? I know it's a Henry but can't do that.
Price?
10MM PLEASE!
I like it.
Thanks!
Nice 👍 would be nice I'm multiple caliber's ✌️
I like what Henry stand for and they are a good co. but way too expensive . I just got there catalog and this gun is over $950.00
I love my Henry 45-70. I would by this Homesteader if I lived in a free state. Support GOA and your local gun rights groups. 🇺🇸
I dont see the need for this vs Ruger, unless you like wood furniture.
Needs a drum magazine then I'd buy it good for plinking 🤣👌
Read my mind...mini BAR😂😂😂
There are Glock-compatible drums.
With Ruger selling for $570 and Betetta CX selling for $750, no way this will ever sell for $900.......never.
It kills me I'm short $$ right now, Henry is really hearing what we talk about.
I don't know how I feel about that charging handle pulling right out.
Alot of naysayers because it's not tactical or powerful and it's expensive. I think there's plenty of guys who want a nice looking PCC for plinking. As far as the price, be realistic about what quality American manufacturing costs these days. If the Homesteader is of the same quality as Henry's leaver actions, it's worth it.
This gun's 1000 bucks, keep it. You can buy 3 highpoint carbines or 2 ar15's for that price.
I'm a little sick of hiw we are always catering to 9mm and what Glock does...but is a nice gun
A solution to no problems
Make it in 10mm
Neat rifle but too heavy.
