Henry and a few other manufacturers have taken to resurrecting classic designs with their own processes for streamline production (MIM, MI Plastics, softer metals, etc.) Take the Henry H001 which is a fine lever action .22 that's a copy of the one designed by Ithaca, the Survival Rifle is the Charter Arms Ar-7, Rossi/Braztec makes copies of the Winchester 1892, "Browning" does not make any guns themselves; they are contracted and built to spec. (they do own FN and Winchester, some of which are rebranded) nothing really new here.
Never understood why Marlin discontinued the "Camp Carbine" as other than an occasional issue with stocks cracking in the receiver area, they always worked and used common (S&W 9mm/1911) magazines...to this day they'll still fetch 650 to a grand.
.444Marlin suffers a considerable problem of Ammunition: It's Seasonal if available at all, and if you reload (which I recommend) getting a Bullet that will hold together and/or have the weight is difficult, otherwise it's a great cartridge.
Well … when you put it that way . Haha - good assessment though.
Humm, I wonder if the action is long enough to accommodate .357 Maximum?
H&R is just a brand owned by the owners of PSA. This will be produced by PSA so buyer beware.
The 45 version fetches a little more than the 9mms version. One of the best guns I bought in 1997 a great companion gun to the 1911. I had toyed with making a part to take the P14-45 magazines. With 3D printers these days it should be possible.
So who is actually making their firearms, the Turks??
From SHOT Show Reports, PSA under the H&R Brand name is going to release a Semi-auto .50BMG for under $2,000. (I'll believe it when I can order two) and back in the 50's when the Military was running trials to replace the Garand, H&R offered a FAL called the T-48 and in a partnership with DS Arms, they plan to release a semi-suto, reproduction T-48, and Daddy wants one baaddd.
Back in the early 90's I had a Camp 9 that I intended on changing the trigger housing for the .45 acp 1911 magazine planning to rebarrel it to 10mm (I was already shooting a Delta Elite) and wanted a 10mm Rifle: well at the time, 10mm was so new that a Chamber Reamer wasn't available or couldn't be found (Remember, we didn't have 1% of the internet we have today back then) anyway the whole project went by the wayside in anticipation of Marlin making the Camp in the newly released .40S&W (which never happened)
The Henry Homesteader is available with or without a threaded muzzle, otherwise they're legal in NY and checking the wholesaler, right now they're on sale and I expect you dealer could order one for around $750 or less.
