    This is on the web-site but generally the mfg suggests higher prices than actuality, I'm thinking locally around 750.00 once the dust settles
    The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $928 for the version with a Henry magazine well only and $959 for the versions that include an additional magazine well. All Henry Repeating Arms firearms are purchasable only through a federally licensed dealer.

    I am wondering if an AR upper would be cheaper

    Yeah you can get a 9mm AR for about half that.

    If you want a Henry, just get a .30-30 or some such. These "guns" are just gimmicks to separate you from your money.

    A company called Mech Tech out of Kalispell MT makes uppers for several different pistol frames in several different calibers.
    You simply remove the slide from your semi-auto pistol, pin the frame to their upper and it turns it into a 16" barreled carbine.
    They make them in 9MM, .45 ACP, 10MM and .45 Rowland and probably a couple of others.
    They also make them for 1911 or Glock frames.
    Since the upper carbine conversions do not by themselves constitute a firearm, you need not fill out a 4473 or do the background check thing. They can be ordered directly from their web site and shipped to you.
    Last I checked they're about $600 or so but that was awhile back.

    It is very pleasing to the eye and it takes gulck mags.
    The only other nice looking 9mm blued steel and wood carbine option I know of took S&W m59 mags.
    The S&W gave the 9mm a bad rap for jamming, idk if the gun was junk or if police departments just expected them to last forever like a revolver and wore them out or if US manufacturers hadn't figured out how to load good 9mm ammo in the 1980s.
    If or you wanted a pile of shit with a wood stock that fires 9mm bullets there's always a sten gun.
    I suspect at least part of it was the ammo as the hot loaded duty ammo had a reputation for being reliable.

    Ruger makes a nice take down 9mm carbine and it runs about $550. Can use Ruger or Glock mags. Nice to have your carbine fire the same mags as your sidearm.
