New Henry Homesteader 9mm Carbine! (First look and quick review) 

Thanks for watching! Get some handmade in USA leather gear at my site below, I’d love to make you something! www.masonleather.com/store/c19/shop-all-gear#/ (If there’s a random countdown timer on the webpage disregard it, I’m trying to remove it…)

Henry quality control in decline?

You should equip the glock receiver and give it the biggest drum mag you can find

The charging handle is off for shipping, to prevent impact damage. It's inside the box flap. Yes the handle can be lost during unpacking, it happens...

That looks just like my cross man BB gun I had back in the 80’s

This firearm was removed from the box before this video, since the Henry hang tags have been removed from it and put into the box. If this really was the first time you removed it from the box, maybe call the store you received it from to see if they misplaced the charging handle when put the gun back into the box.

No no no you misunderstand. That’s the new California compliant Henry. It’s too dangerous to chamber a round!

Looks like something you used too see in the gun rack at Kmart.

I was at the range a while back shooting my Rem-lin .45-70 trying different loads. Guy next to me was trying his new Henry .45-70. He said he'd just gotten a new one after Henry replaced his first one because he was unable to sight it in. No matter what he did. He couldn't get his new one to fire the Leverevolutions. I tried one of those Hornadys in mine, no problem. He tried one of my handloads in his, no problem.

The charging handles are in the tool bag under the mags. Pull back the cardboard tab underneath them.

I'd be pissed if I bought a Henry and it was missing a hard part

Quality control has left the building!!!😳😳😳

Nice. The Canadian version comes with a one-shot mag.

Henry having no charging handle "M3 grease gun laughs in a distance"

Few things in life are as frustrating as getting a new firearm only to discover it already has issues right out of the box. Whether a factory deficiency or heavy handed store employees, this will test your patience in a heartbeat.

Several years ago a friend bought a Henry as his grandson's first rifle. They took it to the range, and it was shooting all over the place. Henry had neglected to put rifling in! That memory and this video doesn't fill me with much confidence in Henry's quality control.

Henry has the best customer service ever. We had to send back a .17hmr and the turnaround was super fast, work was done for free, shipping was free, and it came with free goodies for the trouble.

My Henry Big Boy had feeding issues straight out of the box. I cleaned and oiled it, ran as many rounds as I could hoping it was a "break in" issue, but ultimately had to send it back. They replaced the feed ramp and a few other parts. About 500 rounds later and I've had no more issues. I love Henry arms, but there are definitely some issues that slip by QA.

The charging handle should have been in the same styrofoam square that contained the 5 Henry 5 & 10 round magazines. (The circular hole above the 5 round magazine.) I bought my Homesteader this weekend, and I was able to install the charging handle without any issues. As far as Henry Customer service goes, it is without peer. I own a large number of Henry's and their service has always been fantastic. For all the Henry Haters commenting in this thread, if you don't like Henry's don't buy them. Henry Repeating Arms will be just fine without you and your negative comments.

I have one. Great rifle. Works flawlessly.

That looks like the big boy version of the Daisy Powerline 880 BB Gun I had as a kid! And I mean that as a good thing. I LOVED that BB Gun! I may have to check this one out. The pressed texture actually looks good to ME (your mileage may vary). Sucks about them forgetting the dang charging handle though! Was their QA guy off sick that day. Or maybe he was working remotely 😂

Even my High Point carbine came with a charging handle. HI have two Henrys, and I am actually wearing a Henry baseball cap right now.

That's the new California compliant model. They allow removable box mags but the trade off is the charging handle is omitted.

I’ve always loved the classy modern vibe of Henry rifles

Looks like my old Daisy Powerline 880 bb gun... Which honestly is not a bad thing, since I think that air gun is pretty nice to look at. Hope this actually stacks up to the Henry name.

They need to make it in 10mm!

That texture on the grip looks like a Mcdonalds toy

I like that. . Be a good farm gun as well as other things. The old checkering I think is gone but you can add it. I like the fact you have a can option !

Love to see a ton load of accessories, pistol grip, folding stock, black or grey furniture... you know all the good stuff.

It reminds me a lot of the Winchester M1907 SL Such a Nice Carbine Can’t wait to get one of these pretty soon🤟

That's sad to see you didn't get the charging handle.

I have a marlin camp 9 mm carbine bought it back in the 80s great little gun . Love it ..one good point is it takes the same mag. As my S&W hand gun ...

Nice that sling mounts are included.

Kinda reminds me of a couple of different Browning rifles. I have a BAR22 which is like a scaled down BAR hunting rifle. I also have a BAR in 7mmMag. The rear stock and action share some similar looking lines. Not a bad looking gun really. Anytime wood and metal are combined into a shootin' iron, its all good.

I have a Henry Lever Action and it's a blast. Only a 22, but my sons loved it.

Reminds me of a bb gun I had as a kid. Like the same silhouette. Pretty cool can't wait for a shooting video

I like that texturing actually! Gives it a classic look and feel that I would attribute to Henry. Have fun! (After you get that charging handle....)

I like the texture, looks like wood. And it comes pre drilled, so good value

I'm kind of surprised. Henry has such a great reputation. The crappy pressed wood and no charging handle too? That's like forgetting to put in the door knob on a door.

We don’t need stricter gun laws. We need Henry to make all the firearms.

Quality control at its finest.

Definitely would prefer checkering. Other than that, looks like a fun carbine. Curious to hear your thoughts on it once you get it out.

I bought the Ruger and 9 mm and it was dead-on right out of the box. One of my very favourites

I have a henry 30-30 with side gate and it runs flawlessly quality is top notch it’s hefty feels like a tank .

How the hell is Henry going to forget the charging handle?!?

Look inside the Buttstock for the charging handle. 😁 Nice.

I got a used Marlin Camp Nine carbine at a gun show, many years ago. I like it. It's trick was that the weapon could also accept S&W type 59 magazines. There was also a Camp 45 which used M1911 mags. Never found one.

Can't wait for these to come to Canada!

Looks like it was packed in that empty slot in the box next to the 2 mags. Should have noticed it the first time you checked it before this 'first opening'

I kinda like it, in a nostalgic way. The look, not the careless manufacturing.

I bought my daughter a .22lr lever action Henry. 5' grouping at 50 yards. It wasn't rifled. They took it back and had it back to me in less than 2 weeks shooting fine so at least they handled it.

Looking forward to a review with a 40 round SGM Tactical stick magazine hanging way out the bottom. That's more pew than Henry imagined.

got that wa2000 finish.

Won a Henry 45-70 at a gun bash, it's sick AF , solid , all scrolled and checkered

Love Henry! All Henry’s!!

That's for safety reasons. Without charging handle the carbine is by far safer. 😋

Thats interesting that the charging handle isnt there from a quality product. Honestly, in my opinion, it doesn't look like crap. It looks like a quality product for a first attempt at something like this.

Henry keeps pumping out the better quality ruger clones

Should have got the Ruger PC Carbine. So much Quality.

Wish they'd make one in 40s&w and 10mm

I’m happy with my ruger pcc

I love my Ruger PCC because I have been running the SR9 as my carry for years and I already had about a dozen 17 rd. mags

Henry's service department is amazing

The problem is Henry was always top quality with LEVER ACTIONS

I like the idea. Looks like a mini BAR

My buddy has one of these and it’s a pretty good little carbine. I prefer the kal tec sub 2000. Fired the same ammo though both and the kal tec had no problems at all. And it folds nicely to fit in a backpack.

The Henry Homesteader: For when you absolutely positively do not need the gun to come completely assembled.

I like those little car beans but I would really love to have one and 45 ACP. That is called stippling for the texture I like stippling personally but it is a much easier and cheaper way to go then cut checkeing.

That's clean af

GREAT! Inop out of the box

My best friend's great grandpa owned a large farm and a huge gun collection. Over 300 rifles, pistols and shotguns, even a Gatling. He'd been some sort of lawman or outlaw (maybe both) back in the 19th century. We used to visit him in Nebraska. Great fun: corn, cattle, chickens, a couple of horses, donkeys and goats. He was pretty old at the time so he share-cropped his acres and had plenty of help with the critters. So, he'd spoil the crap out of us. Even took us camping in a Conestoga Wagon that he had found abandoned along the Oregon Trail, which he restored himself. Naturally, we'd go shooting. He taught us a lot and we had our choice of weapons. My favorites were the lever actions and my favorite of those were the Henrys. The deal was simple: for each round we shot, we'd have to reload two. After harvest he'd open his hunting lodge. There were lots of geese and ducks passing through. Our job was to get it ready for the lodgers, mostly final dusting, laundry, making beds and restocking provisions. He probably catered to the deer hunters as well. We missed out on that because we had to be back in school. A few years later when I got my permanent MOS, but before deployment, I received a real WWI M1911, two original ammo packs and a shoulder holster. The note said, "Congrats. Just in case." Later on, when I was commissioned, I got an 1890s Henry 30-30 in a beautiful black walnut presentation box. Over the decades since, I have had several firearms for strictly utilitarian purposes. Have passed them along, but still cherish my presents from Hank. Oh yeah, his name was also Henry, but he preferred Hank. A sentimental journey, I know, so this is more to the point. First, a recoil-operated rifle that shoots pistol tounds holds no interest for me. Second, although I'm pleaaed it's not, I thought Henry Arms was out of business. Will someone care to explain why all those Cavalry officers got nice presentation rifles while Infantry officers always seemed to get presentation sabres, if anything at all?

You need a tax stamp for the charging handle 😂😂😂

I think the texturing is a matter of opinion. I don't think it looks like crap and it may just feel nice and grippy.

Hope yours is better than others I've seen. Honest Outlaw had hell with his.

Thats one heck of a oversight.

This needs to be a 10mm

You can't replace something that you don't have the original of... But... Looks like a fun gun to run

Those Henry mags are adorable

Awesome I love it, between that and the Ruger carbine they are both good units. 🇺🇸🗽

I like the texturing and my favorite is where that safe slide is that is so cool makes it very nice for left and right handed shooters

That just means its A.T.F compliant as it has no charge handle there for it is not that dangerous

That fun looks gorgeous

Small chance of it but I may have made the trigger guard for that very gun or know the person that did. Im one of the casters for henry and I usually run the homesteader trigger guards when we are making them. Its cool to see a gun online I may have contributed to making

Will be watchin for an update

Pistol caliber carbines are something I will never understand. Why not just give yourself the extra benefit of a rifle cartridge when using a rifle? Sure you can make the argument for overpenetration, but at that point why not just use a handgun or shotgun? Seems to me that the carbine fills a really, really tight niche outside of “it’s really cool.” Which… yeah ok I guess you got me. Thing’s pretty cool.

This looks awesome

Well, that was fascinating.

That’s that Henry quality. Capable of 7 moa accuracy right out of the box!

😅 quality going down I love henry but that sucks you shouldn’t have to wait I kinda had the same thing happen to me but my stock was cracked

I love the 1860, with original specimens fetching 30k, The girl in “Night of the Living Dead” had one.

I had a Marlin kinda like that but it got stolen, loved that gun

Same cap my ruger Mk IV has lol, can’t wait to move outa IL and throw a suppressor on that

Looks awesome

I have owned 6 or 7 Henry rifles ….I had one issue with my 45-70 gov …they were easy to work with and backed up their product…..not saying that their quality might be an issue now ….(I did NOT like that stock at all) ….but again I have enjoyed and relied on their products and had a great customer service experience….

I’d like to see Henry do a couple handguns. Reasonably priced 1911 and a SSA. 👍🏻🇺🇸

Wow, surprised if it came from Henry like that. I've got several Henry's and never had a QC issue. Don't remember ever hearing any QC issues like that obvious before.

Way to go Henry!!!

You must've got the new CA compliant model with no charging handle. This feature saves lives 😂

I like the textured wood over checkering

I would definitely go with the Glock receiver for larger magazine capacity.
