I really like the looks of this rifle and think it would make a great plinker, but after seeing the many problems people are reporting Henry is going to have to put some fixes before I'd plunk down any money.

I wrote to Henry asking if they will offer it in 40 and they sent info on where to buy it in 9mm.

Not a bad price considering what Marlin Camp Carbines are going for. If offered in 45 ACP compatible with Glock mags I would be a buyer.

On special online for just under $700 with free shipping. 
Sorry, got my FPC and couldn't be happier. Switched out the handguard for a Nordic and my buffer plug and slapped on an Odin works comp. I am sure that sooner or later someone will come up with another stock for the Henry but, just isn't my cup of tea. Seems very limited with what you can do. The semi-AR platform of the FPC and the more AR platform of the Response make them more desirable IMO.
Might make a good JR shooting learning gun.

Beautiful 40
Unfortunately, it seems most manufacturers are not taking those of us that prefer 40 seriously. This is made evident by the fact that there are really only 4 company's that currently make a 40(glock, smith, cmmg, beretta). Aside from the glocks and Smith's, I never see 40s in the lgs anymore. Sadly cost and availability(9mm) have prevailed over better ballistic performance(40).

These rifle-length PCC's turn 9mm into .357. Most folks don't sneeze at .357 out of a revolver. Here's a recent vid. Easy-to-see when you pause on his chart.

The longarms are easier to shoot, hit with at distance, hold more rounds, and usually cheaper. I A-B'd the Homey with my Marlin 1894 today. THe Henry had slightly more felt recoil than 130gr FMJ .38 from the lever. OTOH, the Marlin had about double the felt recoil when using 158gr Hornady JHP .357.
Once again, the same claim. But every time I look into this, it's that one H.O. review (in 2 videos). Works great for everyone else.
I thought they borrowed Winchester 1907.
An interesting feature of Homesteader is its magwell module. Although it has little practical purpose, it allows one to do some fun things (pictured).
