   I visited a gun show in Ft. Worth on Sunday and saw at least 3 Henry Homesteders on the tables.

     @shibao They were new in box, if that's what you're asking.
     
     If you mean the reliability, it was perfect for me, but keep in mind that I never shot it with the factory magwell module. To be honest, I'm quite impressed at how much damage H.O.'s review has done to the model. But then Henry dug their own grave there, so lulz.
     
     I realize now that I should've recorded the serial numbers of the guns for sale at the show. Then we'd know how much were getting produced, at least to the order of magnitude. My Homesteader was early, under 2000.
     
     BTW, I bought a Winchester 69 at the show for $350. The gun has no serial number, it's only a .22. Can use 22 Shorts. Seems like in a great condition. My Fudd collection is expanding!

     @gat@mu.zaitcev.nu i just hadn't really heard of them before so i wanna do more research, but i figured there was possibly a reason for that (you seem to be confirming that lolol)
     the idea of plinker mini rifle things is fun to me :3

     @shibao Privately I'm quite convinced that shooting a long barrel .22 rifle outdoors is hearing safe. Don't tell anyone though. This is something that tacticool crowd cannot comprehend.

     @gat@mu.zaitcev.nu i've heard that you can make it whisper quiet almost with a suppressor but i haven't really looked into it, i still need a lot of 9mm and regular rifle caliber guns first

     @shibao Sadly it's not threaded. But on the gripping hand, it has no serial number. The horror, the horror! Think of all the children ... that had shoot it over the last 50 years!
