The Henry Axe .410 is a lever-action .410 bore with a 15.14-inch blued steel barrel and American walnut furniture (Henry part no. H018AH-410). In place of a buttstock it wears an axe-handle pistol grip, which is where the name comes from, and Henry lists its firearm type as Other rather than shotgun. The tube holds five 2-1/2-inch shells, and the muzzle is internally threaded for Invector-style chokes with a Full choke included. At 26.4 inches overall and 5.75 pounds it stores in far more places than a full-length shotgun. It is built for property protection, pest control and plain fun at the range.
