Not all firearms need to fit neatly into categories like hunting, home protection, or good ol’ backyard plinking. Henry feels that simply being fun to pull out of the scabbard and shoot again and again should be a category all its own. For those that join Henry in considering this an important category, the Lever Action Axe .410 delivers in spades. It’s fun, for sure, but it also has more practicality than meets the eye. The Axe has the same 5-round capacity of 2 1/2″ shells as its larger Lever Action .410 Shotgun counterparts, but the addition of a loading gate means that you can keep that capacity topped off at all times without needing to remove a tube magazine.
