October 7, 20197 yr While teaching proper loading and unloading of a shotgun my buddy accidentally dropped my 3” shells into the tube of my Henry 410 lever. He was unable to cycle the first shell and after emptying the tube we realized what happened. I’ve never had this happen to me before and don’t want to mangle my new shotgun so it’s back in the safe with the lever open. Any ideas how I can remedy this? I’ll be getting rid of these 3” shells as soon as I get the last one out of the gun.

I just got off the phone with Alan from Henry and he told me to take the lever off at which point I can slide the bolt out the back. The shell should be able to follow it out at that point. I was contemplating getting a large loop... I guess I’ll be ordering it ASAP and installing it while I fix this issue!
October 8, 20197 yr Author So I looked things over this morning and tried removing the lever and bolt. it was much easier than I thought it would be. One screw dropped the lever, the bolt slid out, and the shell followed. Thank you all for your help!
