The design emphasizes practical ergonomics, consistent operation, and adaptability for various applications, from range use to close-quarters scenarios.
Key Features
Caliber and Magazine Integration
Chambered in 9mm Luger, the Homesteader provides an effective carbine solution that shares ammunition with many popular pistol platforms. This specific variant includes a factory-installed magazine well adapter, enabling direct use of Sig Sauer and Smith & Wesson 9mm magazines (magazines not included). The rifle also ships with one 5-round and one 10-round Henry proprietary magazine, ensuring operational capability upon acquisition. This cross-platform magazine compatibility optimizes inventory and streamlines ammunition management for the operator.
Barrel Configuration and Optic Readiness
The 16.37-inch blued steel barrel is precision-threaded, facilitating the direct integration of muzzle devices, including sound suppressors, to mitigate report and recoil. The barrel is also drilled and tapped, allowing for secure mounting of optical aiming systems. Its design supports consistent projectile velocity and reliable cycling for the 9mm Luger cartridge.
Operational Ergonomics and Control
The Homesteader features an ambidextrous bolt handle and a top-mounted thumb switch for intuitive and accessible operation regardless of dominant hand preference. The American Walnut fixed stock provides a stable shoulder interface, complemented by a 2-piece pistol grip for enhanced control. A rubber buttplate is integrated to mitigate recoil impulse and improve shooter comfort during extended use.
Receiver and Mounting System
Constructed from black anodized aluminum, the receiver offers a balance of robust durability and reduced overall weight. The receiver is drilled and tapped, engineered to accept a Weaver63B scope mount, enabling straightforward installation of preferred optics for enhanced target acquisition.
