Some guns exist purely because they put a grin on your face, and the Henry Axe is one of them. Take one look at that sculpted axe handle walnut grip with the Henry cowboy logo engraved on the bottom and you get it. But spend a little time running the lever and you realize this thing has real substance behind the style. At just 26.4 inches overall with a 15.14 inch round blued steel barrel, it tucks into places a full size shotgun never could, whether that is a truck scabbard, a pack, or a tight corner of the safe.
The Axe holds five 2.5 inch .410 shells in the tube plus one in the chamber, and the side loading gate is the feature that really sets it apart. You can feed fresh shells through the gate as you go, so the magazine stays topped off without ever pulling the tube. Henry's lever action is as slick as they come, and the transfer bar safety means it rides safely with the hammer down over a loaded chamber. Recoil with .410 loads is mild, which makes this one of those rare firearms that everyone at the range wants a turn with.
Up front you get a brass bead sight that is quick to pick up on moving targets or close range work. The muzzle is threaded for Invector style choke tubes and ships with a full choke installed, so you can tighten or open up your pattern depending on whether you are busting clays, thumping pests around the property, or keeping it handy at home. The blued steel receiver is drilled and tapped if you want to mount an optic, and sling swivel studs come standard for easy carry in the field.
Between the walnut, the deep bluing, and that unmistakable grip, this is the kind of piece that gets passed around and talked about. It is compact, quick handling, and built with the fit and finish Henry is known for.
The Axe is chambered for 2.5 inch .410 shells only, so 3 inch magnum shells will not work in this model. With 2.5 inch shells you get a 5+1 capacity, and there is a wide variety of birdshot, buckshot, and slug loads available in that length. Just check the box before you buy ammo and you are set.
Yes, and that is one of its best features. Unlike older Henry .410 designs that load through the magazine tube, the Axe has a side loading gate on the receiver. That means you can top off the magazine one shell at a time as you shoot, keeping it fully loaded without any downtime.
It ships with a removable full choke installed from the factory. The barrel is threaded for Invector-style chokes, so you can swap in other constrictions like improved cylinder or modified to open up your pattern for close range shooting. That flexibility lets one gun handle everything from clays to pest control.
You can. The blued steel receiver comes drilled and tapped, so adding a rail or mount for a red dot is a straightforward job. A small red dot pairs really well with the compact format, though plenty of owners find the brass bead front sight plenty quick for the ranges this gun is meant for.
