The Henry AXE (brand part no. H018AH410) is a lever-action .410 bore firearm with a 15.14-inch blued barrel and American walnut stock furniture, built by Henry Repeating Arms with a pistol-grip-only stock and no shoulder stock. This configuration means the AXE is factory-classified by the ATF as an "Other Firearm" rather than a shotgun, so it ships through a standard FFL transfer with no special tax stamp or NFA paperwork required. Its brass bead front sight and 5-round tubular magazine make it a compact, fast-handling option for shooters who want something different from a traditional long-gun profile.
