Henry H024410 Side Gate .410 Gauge Lever Action 5+1 19.8" Barrel

The Henry H024410 Side Gate lever action shotgun transforms traditional .410 gauge performance with modern loading convenience and classic American craftsmanship. This full-size frame shotgun eliminates the tedious tube loading process found on standard lever guns, allowing shooters to load and unload through a convenient side gate while maintaining the rifle's traditional profile.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional Henry lever actions that require loading through the muzzle end, the H024410 features Henry's innovative side gate loading system that accepts shells through the receiver. The 2.5-inch chamber handles both 2.5-inch shells and shorter .410 loads, providing versatility for different hunting scenarios. The full-size frame delivers enhanced stability and smoother cycling compared to compact lever shotguns, while the 19.8-inch barrel optimizes pattern density at typical shotgun ranges.

Key Features

• Side gate loading system eliminates muzzle loading inconvenience
• 5+1 capacity with 2.5-inch chamber for maximum shell compatibility
• 19.8-inch blued steel barrel with optimized choke for .410 performance
• Polished brass receiver provides corrosion resistance and classic appearance
• American walnut stock with traditional straight grip and steel buttplate
• Full-size frame ensures reliable cycling with light .410 loads
• Adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with brass bead front sight

Field performance centers on the .410's effectiveness for small game, pest control, and close-range applications where minimal pelt damage matters. The lever action mechanism cycles smoothly with both light target loads and heavier hunting shells. Weather resistance comes from the blued steel finish and sealed action, while the brass receiver won't rust in humid conditions. Pattern consistency remains tight enough for squirrel hunting out to 25 yards and effective for home defense scenarios.
