Lever Action .410's - Help Me Understand Why? UPDATE

December 15, 2023 02:50

**UPDATE later in thread**

I don't often require a reason or purpose for a new gun purchase, but these lever action .410's are leaving me scratching my head a bit. Just not sure what they're good for.

Help me understand. Local place has a Henry on sale for $398, which seems like a steal. It's beautiful.... but I still can't help but wonder what I might do with it.

Thoughts?

@Frogdog

Do you have my address so you know where to send it?

Well, of course! You should probably go stand at the end of the driveway and wait for the delivery. 😁

But can you shoot slugs through it. For that matter, is it fixed choke or choke tube.

This one is the 20” fixed cylinder bore version, so slugs are a yes. I believe Henry also makes a longer barreled version with screw-in invector chokes.

For me, slugs would be the thing.

Wish I could tell you. Story of my life…..no easy access to a place to shoot. Will have to wait until I can get to the range (an hour+ away).
2.5 years to go. Then it’s retirement, land, and my own range….finally!
