In the warehouse bringing you the opinion and data, TNP style, on the Henry Homesteader. Henry is a great company doing many great things in the field of traditional firearms. They have my full respect for this.

This Homesteader honors the spirit as our beloved Marlin Camp Carbine and I spend time talking about the connection, it's fun. There has been pent up demand for the Marlin Camp Carbine and I created some of it. Both are not a lightweight PCCs but more traditional 9mm carbines with wood stocks and a protruding magazine well. For recreational shooting and family get togethers this available Homesteader might be just the ticket.

There are good things about the Henry formula in this Marlin Camp Carbine spirit child. And there are some bad things. Since I'm not beholden to anyone besides you dudes you get the truth on this gun and my rec'd suggestions for improvement!

Been waiting for this one!

Elijah Ballard

I have also been waiting for this one

I like the idea of being able to extend my capability. I carry a 43x. Cool that you can slap in a carry mag and extend range and velocities. My go to grab gun around the homestead for critters is a ruger .22 bolt gun. I don't feel badly popping some .22 but 9mm isn't getting any cheaper these days!

Purchased it when Henry offered it. Quality build. I have no issues with it to date. Definitely like the ability to run Glock Magazines.

JFire

Just watched on YouTube, but loved it so much I had to watch it again here!

Given that this gun seems to mirror the spirit of the Marlin Camp carbine, I am curious to see what you think of this rifle. I would love to try one of these rifles at some point. And I love your appraisal of old Marlin rifles at the start of the video- I totally agree with your assessment there. Having shot an old 1994 Marlin Model 60, that is a quality firearm right there.

I also got one when it first released and have not had problems with it. Granted I only have about 600 rounds through mine (all steel case Tula).

There is no comparison to the feel, looks, and nostalgia of a wood and steel rifle. Marlin set the standard for many of shooters for generations. The fact that “JM” Marlins on Gun Broker command higher prices than when new is a testament to the shooter gun relationship. AR PCC’s, while great performers, just don’t create the same bond. Henry is the current Marlin, BUT they are not Marlin. For the price, I would reach back and buy the Camp 9.

You’ve obviously covered the logo on the jacket for a reason…but it’s a sweet looking one - care to share where I might find one?

TechNeck

This is now the only legal 9mm carbine in canada (they missed it)

Gilbert Cuzdey Jr

Pretty sure the mag is designed to be released with the off hand. Like an AK.

Joshua Mount

I want Henry to make a deluxe version of the Remington 870. I'm a wood and blued steel type of guy. I own tons of modern guns but the guns I appreciate and care about the most are primarily blued steel and wood.

Carl Bailey

I wonder if the Henry issues is the Maxwell system. I could see it flopping oddly when it failed. Quick replaceable parts are usually the first to fail.

Maxreverse

I remember reading there is a reliability issue with large capacity Glock magazines in the Henry. This might be the issue with you were having in the field. I have not had the problem with Henry magazines. However, I have used Glock magazines with no issues. I put a Sig Romeo on mine due to age/eyesight.

Harold Galen McPheron

around the 28-29 minute mark, I noticed how much the magazine was jumping in the mag well. I've never noticed that in another firearm...

William H

I would have bet $100 the marlin camp carbine would be mentioned. Great video!

Rob Miller

Nice review. Thanks!

TechNeck

these guns need to be run wet and clean. if they foul up they jam (and they foul fairly quick like most blow back)

Here’s another POU: an introduction to carbines. I have a friend who’s fairly liberal - and he’s considering this as his first rifle/carbine specifically because it’s not a “scary black rifle” and it has ammo and mag compatibility with a pistol. We’re slowly red pilling him 😂

JIMY

Great review Nutn. I have a few thoughts. I’m surprised no one else got the connection to the Marlin Camp Carbine. That was one of my first thoughts when this came out. I’ve had my eye on this carbine. Disappointed to hear about the quality and the sights. I’m not sure interchangeable magwells are ready for prime time. I had a Ruger PC Carbine and that thing choked too. Tried changing the magwells around and it had an impact but didn’t totally fix the problem. Didn’t run smoothly enough for me, and I didn’t have the curse of the desert to blame, so I sold it. And I’m not impressed they didn’t include a Pic rail like Ruger and many other manufacturers do. Hopefully Henry can figure this carbine out.

Iowa Dave

I'll take my Ruger PC Carbine all day long. Great value. Runs like a top. Takes Glock mags. Accurate enough to hit 8" steel plates at 100 yards. It is the favorite gun for all the new shooters I take to the range.

Elijah Ballard

Man I wish this thing didn’t have as many issues. I was considering getting one

Buff Orpington

There’s a lot to be said for this POU! I’m taking someone like that to the range this week. It can be someone’s first step into a bigger world (per Obi Wan Kenobi’s advice hahah). I’ve changed a lot of hearts and minds through a friendly, educational range trip and gun safety demonstration. All this stuff isn’t so “scary” once someone actually tries it themselves

TechNeck

I know lots of guys with them... They are reliable, but they need to be run wet. As the only semi 9mm pcc legal in canada they are getting a lot of attention now here...

Andrettski

Not a gun I would consider and I've already got several excellent 9mm PCC's. My CX4 Storm is fantastic and it eats everything. Keep the GRV's coming Lt Col.

GarageJim_RMB

Great review, great information to make a decision.
