This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Henry Lever Action Brass Axe .410. A Mare's Leg-style lever gun, the Brass Axe is chambered not for a standard rifle or pistol round, but instead fires .410 bore shotshells. With an overall length just over 26-inches, the short little gun is eminently portable, accurate enough for small-game hunting and can even be used to take on aerial targets with a little practice. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1,132; henry-usa.com
