Picked up a 410 lever action shotgun

[Hatchdog]

Yesterday we decided to take the pup out for some socialization at the feed store (North 40) in north Spokane. My wife wanted to get him a new Kong toy and this store has a large pet department. Also this store has a large sporting goods department with a big gun selection. Of course every time I go into a store that sells guns I check for the Henry 410 lever. Walked back to the rear wall where the guns are and there it was, the 24” blue/wood 410 right in the front of a row of long guns. Man, I felt like Ralphie from the movie The Christmas Story.

My wife wandered by and I showed her the shotgun and all she said was, “happy birthday” HA!

Anyway, home it came and today I plan to remove the bolt and give it a good cleaning. I have the bat signal out on the local trader page for some 410 ammo but man it’s scarce around here. Can’t even check to make sure it cycles correctly.

Anyway here it is, 24” interchangeable chokes with the walnut stock. Yesterday I ordered the mag tube limiter to make it legal for hunting here in Washington State. (3 total including one in the chamber) Of the three Henry makes this one was my first choice.

Here’s a pic of the Henrys all standing at attention ready for orders.

Nice pickup Hatch, and it even has the side load, sweet.
If we were closer, I could share some ammo, got a few hundred laying around.

Nice group of Henrys, but what about that Winchester there?

It’s a late 50’s 94 in 30-30 that belonged to my dad. As soon as I pick up my Henry 30-30 the Winny will be going to my nephew.

You'll love it. Don't be afraid to work the level with some force. My only jambs came from someone lightly working the lever.

congrats .... it sure looks like a prime Henry .... 410 is beyond scarce in our part of the country .... hopefully it will become available soon

Nice rifle! Live ammo is a must. But, dummys will work for function test:

Good find! I guess you won’t be making a road trip to Arizona now. Good luck finding 2 1/2” 410.

Awe shucks, I was looking forward to some warmer temps and some sunshine.

Price was $849 which is what I have seen online and in the neighborhood of the Bass Pro shop in Mesa.

GFK, thanks for the link to the snap caps. I’ll pick some up.

Fine looking lever 410 Hatch! I have 1 box of Fiocchi 410 ammo but no 410 shooter....yet. Bought it a good while back for making .45-70 shot shells.

[Rifletom]

That IS a good looking .410 Hatch! Hope you can locate some shells for it. Like the way it was green lighted at the store. Excellent!

[daytime dave]

I really like .410s. That is one fine looking example of one. Thank you for sharing those fine photographs of yours. That is a beautiful firearm.

Yeah that’s a funny story. I had decided to go with the Henry 410 for our grouse hunting and since the season isn’t open until Sept. 15 I was in no hurry to get one. But I was watching the stores and online just to see availability. I showed a picture of it to my wife as she’s my grouse hunting partner. Well after that and unknown to me she had been shopping for one to give me for my birthday next month. She had been looking online and had intended to shop locally for one. When we were at North 40 I showed her the gun and then wandered off looking for silicone spray for boots and wasn’t aware she stayed at the gun counter. I walked back and there she was and as I walked up I heard her say, “we’ll take it”. Then she turned to me and said, “happy birthday”. She told me she was happy to not have to drive all over the area looking for one.

Got my hands on some 2.5” 410 ammo yesterday and did a loading/unloading test. First I loaded five in the mag via the side gate and all cycled great. Then I put the limited tube in it and repeated the test and again all was perfect. I did test the limited tube by trying to load three in it and that didn’t work. So all’s great now I need to brave the cold and do some shooting tests. I’m hearing that the public land place we like to shoot at is accessible for the right vehicle. Deep ruts and an icy hill to drive up/down will require the pickup.

Glad you found what you wanted. I have looked at them for a while and believe it would be a nice addition but have not decided to do it yet.

Here's some competition for Henery.

I like the price.

Not sure I like an aluminum receiver though.

I saw one in a store about 40 miles south of me yesterday, first one I've seen in person.
It' was $799.

I do like the look of the nickel receiver shown.

Embarrassed to admit but I still have not fired mine yet. I did find a box of target loads recently to use for function tests. The public state land I was intending to take it to along with my son’s new AR was recently shut down to recreational shooting. There is another place available but it is gated so we have to haul all our gear in which makes it a pain.
