Description
Henry took their proven .45-70 lever action platform, chambered it for 2-1/2 inch .410 shells, and then loaded it up with practical touches that make this X Model one of the most flexible small bore shotguns on the market. The 19.8 inch round blued steel barrel is a smoothbore threaded internally for Invector-style chokes, and a Full choke tube comes installed so you can tighten up patterns on small game or swap in something more open for close work. Up front you get a bright fiber optic sight that picks up light fast, and the blued steel receiver is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B base if you want to run an optic.
Loading the Henry X Model .410 the Easy Way
This is one of Henry's side gate models, which means you can top off the 5 round magazine through the receiver like a classic lever gun, but the removable magazine tube is still there too. When it's time to unload, cycle the chamber empty and pull the tube instead of running every shell through the action. It's a small detail that makes a real difference after a day in the field. The large loop lever cycles smoothly with gloves on, and a transfer bar safety keeps things simple without any buttons or switches to fuss with.
Built for Work, Not the Display Case
The black synthetic stock and forend shrug off weather and hard use, with M-LOK slots and a Picatinny rail section on the forend for a light, plus sling swivel studs already in place. A solid rubber recoil pad caps off the 14 inch length of pull, though .410 recoil is gentle enough that just about anyone in the family can run this gun comfortably. At 7.5 pounds with a 38.6 inch overall length, it carries easily and swings fast.
Where the X Model .410 Earns Its Keep
Rabbits and squirrels, pest control around the property, clays off the back porch, or a low recoil option staged by the nightstand, this shotgun covers a lot of ground. It cycles 2-1/2 inch shells only, and with .410 buckshot and defensive loads widely available these days, that's not the limitation it used to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size shells does the Henry X Model .410 take?
This shotgun is chambered for 2-1/2 inch .410 shells only, so 3 inch magnum loads are off the table. That still covers a huge range of birdshot, buckshot, and slug options, and the shorter shells keep the action cycling smooth and fast.
Can I change chokes on this shotgun?
Yes. The 19.8 inch smoothbore barrel is threaded internally for Invector-style choke tubes, and a Full choke comes installed from the factory. Swapping to a more open choke is an easy way to tune your pattern for defensive loads or close-flushing game.
How do you load and unload the Henry Lever Action X Model .410?
You get the best of both worlds here. Load through the side gate on the receiver to top off as you go, and when you're done, cycle the chamber empty and pull the removable magazine tube to dump the rest without running every shell through the action.
Can I mount an optic on the X Model .410?
The blued steel receiver is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B base, which is sold separately. From there you can run a red dot or a low power scope, though the fiber optic front sight works great on its own for the fast, close shots this gun was built for.
