 Hey there friends thanks for checking in today. We're looking at something a little different It's a new release from Henry repeating arms called the lever action axe and it's chambered in 410 shot shell Get a load of that. It's a small little firearm Chambered in 410 and of course it's a lever action axe So there is the lever action holds five shells of 410 in the tube And the overall length on this is just over 26 inches it's got a 15.1 inch barrel and you can see that it is a beautiful firearm with American walnut furniture The 410 shot shell is a light shooting load so when you have a light gun like this just over five and a half pounds and You throw that load in there whether you're shooting the buckshot or the target loads It's not going to have a lot of recoil So everybody in the family could use it. Everybody could feel comfortable with it And this tube does hold five shells So many people would feel comfortable using this for home defense now I'm not here to suggest that it's going to perform quite like the 20 gauge or the 12 gauge But i'm going to show something in a little bit that may be a little more convincing Because I did some testing with 410 and I was pretty impressed especially out of a Longer barrel firearm like this, but there it is 15.1 inch barrel It does have a barrel clamp There that attaches to the magazine tube a beaded front sight All right and come up here. We can see that the top of the receiver is drilled and tapped for a rail All right blued steel receiver And then there's the lever hammer fired with a transfer bar safety All right, and then Just like that now when I took it to an indoor range many of the guys at the store were very much interested in this They said wow that thing is cool And that was that was my thought when I first took a look and I saw that henry was releasing this I said wow this thing is is really something it's it's different. It's unique It's capable and it's Soft and easy shooting and they they all agreed now the one thing that I learned Was that with the first load you could extend those arms out and take that First shot, but after that it's easiest to bring it into the hip to work that That action to chamber the next load you notice there that it does have A side loading gate and that's cool because you could top off the loads in the magazine tube as you go Small game hunting Yep, 410 people do it all the time squirrels rabbits Anything like that But it's a it's a beautiful firearm and if you know henry they don't they don't skip on on quality You can see it does have a stud mount there Another one there once again that that walnut is very sharp And and it's you know that action is pretty cool. I haven't done a lot with lever action firearms, but when I saw this I got very excited Because I think it's cool and it even has the the logo Right in there. I don't know if the camera will pick that up But I wanted to talk about the 410 shot shell because six years ago I did some range testing with it and I used various loads three different loads And I shot steel, but I also shot milk jugs that were frozen frozen stiff with water And I wanted to see how capable it was and of course everybody has to decide for themselves What would be the best load for self-defense, but 410 just like the other shotgun loads that are available Offers a variety of different loads Whether it's a heavier buckshot or a lighter target load the recoil is minimal Now henry says that this is best for plinking and utilities and and having fun But I know some people consider 410 for self-defense. So let's head out to the range We'll go ahead and check this out. I made this video six years ago And you can decide for yourself if the 410 shot shell is capable for Self-defense small game hunting whatever let's check it out again eight yards away Shell doesn't want to leave here Here's the self-defense stuff Let's take a look here. It is close up. You can see that it made that solid ice into snow solid stiff With the yellow food coloring. Let's go federal premium self-defense 410 Lost one. Let's get that last one There's a close up of the wad made its way in there The lever action axe comes with a screw in and vector choke. They also offer a choke wrench In the case, but there it is Very excited about this one. I'm going to take it to the range and do some more in-depth testing Maybe I'll shoot some more frozen milk jugs. The nsrp on this is 970 I'm not sure what the street price will end up being but it's a it's a very good looking firearm And henry does not make junk at all if you know henry you will know they make quality built firearms And this one is no different and i'm excited to have it and I can't wait to do some more range testing with it If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
