I know .410 is pretty small.. but those Henry lever action brass 410s are awsome looking. I wish it was in 12ga or 20ga at least.
What are your opinions. ?

Anyone have a Henry lever action .410 ?

Winchester already made one in the 1880's that was chambered in 12 and 10 gauge. Think "Terminator 2".
Made from 1882 to around 1920. Though there are Chinese reproductions of these available currently.
.410 works well with the lever action because of its size and load.
But in larger gauges, I think the mechanics just don't work quite as well. After Winchester made theirs, not many other manufactures attempted to make lever action shotguns.
Just my two cents.

My dad has a Henry lever .410. He got it a few years ago. It is new production.
Nice little gun. 2½" chamber. It is his garden gun.

I want one with the 24" barrel to have a little fun with sporting clays. I wish you could get the brass receiver with the 24" but it only comes with the regular steel. Though I wish they'd make one on 28 or 20 gauge to be able to shoot heavier loads. I keep hoping one shows at my LGS, but Henry's seem hard to come by around here

I have one of the Winchester 9410 from the early ought's.
It is one of the most fun shotguns I have ever owned. Skeet, especially the doubles, are lots of fun. I bought it to hunt with initially, rabbits and squirrels but after a range trip where I tried some slugs it also became my slug gun for deer since I was living in Ohio a slug only state at the time. So I have hunted everything from Doves to Deer with it. Unfortunately I don't think I have shot it since I moved to Alabama, though one of these days I am going to go on a squirrel hunting binge, but all we have is grays down here and they are pretty scrawny compared to the big fox squirrels I grew up hunting.
