Thats one I cant wrap my head around, ok make a lever action shotgun, but make it load from a tube like Henry does and make it in .410? thats really weird.Henry is currently making a .410 lever action shot gun. I think they are running around $750 retail.

Friend has one out West when I lived - going on about your time frame. Brought it out to shoot some skeet and the poor trapper kid thought the guy was going to use a rifle to shoot skeet........the look on his face was priceless.My brother bought one of the Winchester .410 reissues when they made them many (like 20 or 25?) years ago. Looked kind of like a model 94, as I recall. Very cool looking gun. Wish I'd bought one.
Well now, hasn't everybody seen Terminator 2 and Arnie's famous flip-reload with a sawed off Winchester 1893?I never even heard of a lever shot gun until this thread. So I decided to wait and see what folks had to say.
I’m with you in that if they’re extremely rare there must be reasons why.

In any case, the limited experience I have of these isn't good. At least the one I shot was very heavy to operate and the lever bruised my fingers. I can't imagine putting too many rounds through one voluntarily, one box was painful enough. As a shotgun it's IMO cool as heck, though.
1991? Arnold Schwarzenegger. Machine sent back from time to stop the apocalypse. Great movie I thought. For Arnold anyways.Terminators 2? Wasn’t that movie releaseda hundred years ago? I recall seeing it. Just don’t recall when or with whom. And I don’t recall anything about it.

In your link it said it was flip cocked with a factory model just with the larger loop.Terminator shotgun was also like three shotguns, several modified. You cannot cock a factory config with one hand, even if you saw off the stock.

If anyone wants one of those, set your expectations.
Yes you can. Just needs to have the loop. Jerry Miculek has a video on youtube doing it.You cannot cock a factory config with one hand, even if you saw off the stock.
They can make it in .410 and still use most of the same parts they use for their .45-70 rifle. It's a pretty cheap way to broaden their product line. Given that possibly the only part that's different is the barrel, the numbers of people who'd buy it just for novelty probably doesn't have to be large to turn a profit. And shotgun barrels are probably cheaper to make than rifle barrels, so the profit on the shotgun might actually be HIGHER.Thats one I cant wrap my head around, ok make a lever action shotgun, but make it load from a tube like Henry does and make it in .410? thats really weird.
That's what I meant by factory configuration. You need to change out to the loop cocking handle.Yes you can. Just needs to have the loop. Jerry Miculek has a video on youtube doing it.
