Description
There aren't many shotguns that stop people in their tracks at the gun counter, but this one does it every time. The Henry Side Gate Lever Action .410 wears a hardened polished brass receiver with the same strength as steel, matched up with deeply checkered American walnut, a brass buttplate, and a brass barrel band. It looks like an heirloom straight out of the box, and it runs like a Henry, which is to say smooth and dependable.
Two Ways to Load the Henry Side Gate .410
The big story here is the loading system. You get Henry's traditional removable tube magazine for safe, easy unloading, plus a side loading gate so you can top off without touching the tube. Run the tube for a full load of 2.5 inch shells, then feed singles through the gate as you shoot. It's the best of both worlds, and it holds five rounds of .410 ready to go.
Rifle Sights on a Lever Action Shotgun
Instead of a plain bead, Henry fitted this shotgun with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a white diamond insert and a ramped ivory bead up front. That setup makes it easy to center slugs or pattern-check your loads, and the wide buckhorn ears help you snap onto moving targets fast. The receiver is even drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B mount if you want to add glass.
Where the Side Gate .410 Shines
The 19.8 inch round blued steel barrel is a cylinder bore, so there's no constriction at the muzzle and the pattern opens up quickly. That makes this gun right at home busting clays, working brushy grouse cover, thinning out garden raiders, or handling snakes and pests around the barn. At 7.09 pounds with a 14 inch length of pull and 38.1 inch overall length, it carries well and recoil is about as gentle as shotguns get. Sling studs come installed, so it's ready for a day in the field from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Henry Side Gate .410 take 3 inch shells?
No, this model is chambered for 2.5 inch .410 shells only. The good news is that 2.5 inch shells are the most common .410 loads on the shelf, available in birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. Just check the box before you buy ammo and you're set.
Can I put choke tubes in this shotgun?
No, the barrel is a fixed cylinder bore and is not threaded for choke tubes. That open pattern is by design, since this gun is built for close-range work like grouse in thick cover, clays, and pest control. Patterns spread quickly, which is exactly what you want inside 25 yards or so.
How does loading work on the Side Gate Lever Action .410?
You get two options. Load the full magazine through the removable tube up front, or slip shells in one at a time through the side loading gate to top off as you go. Unloading is easy too, since you can pull the tube instead of cycling every shell through the action.
Can I mount an optic on the Henry Side Gate .410?
Yes, the brass receiver comes drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B scope mount, so adding a red dot or scope is straightforward. Most folks will be perfectly happy with the factory setup though, since the adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and ivory bead front make a fast, precise sighting combo for a shotgun.
