We’ve run the Homesteader through about 500 rounds. It will get hard use and we expect the gun will be up to the challenge. We both enjoy the rifle very much and think it will be anything but a safe queen. We found the Homesteader pleasant and easy to shoot, despite our slight differences over recoil. The trigger is good, though it didn’t especially stand out one way or another. We didn’t really care for the factory sights, which we’ll address below when discussing accuracy. The Homesteader’s 16-inch barrel and nice balance make it quick to point and the sights are easily picked up. That’s not a big deal for us on the Homesteader because we have other rifles set up with that stuff. We should note, however, that the walnut handguard precludes adding other accessories like lights or lasers. That made the Homesteader quite versatile, and we plan to keep that setup, though a suppressor is very possible in the future. We decided to add a Skinner Sights picatinny rail with an integral peep sight up top, to which we mounted a Vortex Defender CCW red dot. The Homesteader is, however, easily upgraded, thanks to the threaded barrel and the drilled and tapped receiver. Henry markets the Homesteader as a multipurpose firearm, though they emphasize the hunting aspect. Not being a “tacticool” rifle, despite the threaded barrel, we don’t see that as a real negative. The Homesteader fits both of us quite well, though taller folks with longer arms may not like that the rifle doesn’t have an adjustable length of pull. The Homesteader’s built-in utility means it should be anything but a safe queen However, it shows that they understand the market and the Homesteader may become popular with customers. Henry’s decision to make a semi-automatic rifle is bold. The Homesteader works well for varmints, small to medium-sized game, and even home defense. The result is a handy, rugged carbine chambered in the world’s most common cartridge.

One improvement over the 10/22 system is the Homesteader’s factory bolt catch, which is an aftermarket upgrade on the 10/22. The magazine is more like the M-1 and the Ruger, with the mag release and bolt catch being very 10/22-like. The side charging handle is common to all three, while the Homesteader uses a blowback action like the 10/22. Operationally, it combines all three of these rifles. We mentioned that the Homesteader reminds us of the M-1 Carbine and Ruger 10/22, but it looks more like the Browning BAR series. It has a traditional wood and steel design, but with a unique approach. The Homesteader is the company’s first product in the 9mm market. Many Henry rifles and carbines are chambered in pistol calibers like. The latter mesh nicely with Henry’s lever guns, but the Homesteader is an entirely different animal. Henry has recently branched out from its trademark lever action firearms with the Homesteader and their new line of Big Boy Revolvers. Henry Homesteader Background – A New Branch Scope Mount Drilled and tapped receiver.The SiCo Omega to YHM mount offers the choice of YHM flash hiders or brakes, and the YHM QD mounting system is the best available, bar none, but you won't save weight. The Diversified Machine titanium Omega to Griffon Minimalist brake or flash hider mount reduces weight and does not add length. But, if you want to switch do not go KeyMo, which adds weight and length, and the Q option isn't much lighter and looks even longer. Use a brake on the 11.5" 5.56 since once you shoot it suppressed you will never again shoot it unsuppressed and the brake will act as a sacrificial blast baffle to extend the life of the Omega's blast baffle.ĮTA: The ARS system works great so long as you don't do anything stupid, like hot swap the can or forget to turn the locking latch. If I was in your shoes, I would use a flash hider on the 18" and 16" barrels since these will be tolerable to shoot unsuppressed. View QuoteI have two Omegas and a bunch of brakes and flash hiders.
