Henry Garden Gun - A .22 Caliber Shotgun? 

1st time I have seen a video on the Garden Gun.

This gun with thin plaster targets is a great way to introduce kids to shooting with no recoil and less noise. But for vermin, snakes, etc. I've used a 2" barrel pistol and gotten similar up close pattern. In that short a barrel the rifling has little effect and its a lot easier to carry around than a rifle.

That thing can still sneeze out shot that punctures at thirty feet? Color me impressed!😁

I'm impressed even at 30 feet

Marlin made a version years ago. Hard to find now. Glad Henry picked up the mantle on this. That cci round is super handy for small pests.

Got one and love it as much as all my other Henry’s ❤

My Dad had an old Remington garden gun that was awesome for squirrels!

Gotta love a Henry!

Henry make so many cool and innovative guns.

This looks fun....and for sure has functionality!✌️

Very nice, but good luck finding the 22 shotshells

Tried to help FIL with birds in his barn. A couple of cartridges of bird shot and we had to stop as it was punching many little holes in the corrugated roof tin. Test it out before making a leaky roof for yourself.

Nice. Thanks for sharing brother 😊

It patterned better than I thought it would. Good video

Love that gun.

I have a .22 caliber rimfire smoothbore bolt action gun: Remington 510 SB (smoothbore), single shot. I don't believe it has any choke but it shoots a pretty good dense pattern out to 15 feet or so..good enough to dispatch small critters like a rat or bird or larger snake. Some smoothbore .22 rimfires do have some degree of choke in the bore those for sure are limited to .22 rimfire shot cartridges only. Never tried regular solid bullet loads in mine it's limited to shot cartridges only.

Ive had this rifle for a few years and it has more notches on its belt than anything i own! It doesnt seem to care for the crimped brass style shot shells, but itll run CCI with the plastic cap all day long!

Thank you !

Love this. Had this been around years ago I’d if gotten it instead of a Gamo .22 caliber pellet rifle. Bought it because and it has a shot shell adaptor so I can shoot pellets or .22 shot shell. Can’t remember if it’s a rifled barrel or not. But the shot pattern isn’t bad for what it is. Oh and by the way, thanks for yet another Henry on the wish/want list. Just what I needed. lol

If it was only 99$ .. but its a henry.... so ittl be at least 500$

Cool!!

Damn thats cool. I got a lil henry, the .22 lr and short one, best garden gun for me i dont need the spread its pinpoint accurate. Oh and its just as pretty of a firearm as my rifle.

@22plinkster needs this for carpenter bees 🐝

It’s a must have if you are a Henry fan. I have a blast with the little gun

Very cool, but CCI shot rounds are almost impossible to get.

Around here(soutern in). Many vfws shoot 22 shot indoors for sport. Closest to x wins. I have a henry and a routledge bore rem (supposed to be best ever made). The rem does better on avg, but the henry is very competative. The performance of both is affected by ventilation, humidy and temp signifigantly. The henry shoots solid bullets to minute of groundhog easily to 40 yds or so.

That awesome 👍👍👍 What a great idea!!! ❤️🇺🇲❤️🙏🏻❤️🇺🇲❤️

It’s great

It will be used to shoot stuff in the garden. Squash, tomatoes are especially good to shoot!

Smooth bore 22? Check out the Mossberg 42 TR Targo with Targo trap thrower attached to the gun. Pull and shoot. First one I ever saw was on display at the NRA Museum inside the Bass Pro in Springfield MO.

That’s a great gun.

Yes you do need to worry about richochets, always wear eye protection when shooting

looks like a grate little rifle, but could not find one in the east coast of Canada, got a EGE Arms LV410 leaver action 410. holds five shots and a great looking shotgun, very smooth action got it in the black walnut stock. Comes with sights and a rail and two different stocks, and five chocks. Can not find any videos on this model. 18.5" barrel should make a great little garden and barn gun, using 9 or 8 shot. Want to check the patterns for the different chocks, most likely full open for close range rats. Even comes with a raped around rail to put a light on for night shooting. A very solid made shotgun.

For reference, 30 feet is only 9 meter, you will need a very small garden

I would like to see a side by side comparison of rifled vs smooth bore.

for snakes i used my ride on tractor , used to get quite a few pieces when i was done

I want one .

Marlin had a garden gun years ago

Let’s be great as like a little snake gun for the trail or the boat. I just kind of wonder if it would be better insane 38 special.

I have purchased firearms (and ammo) by accident, late night half asleep😂

I have a garden rifle made by savage. I bought it on Gunbroker by accident one night. (I did not read the description. don't judge me) I have never shot it. Maybe I should unbox it and take it out.

This is a mouse gun salesman if I e ever seen one.

Marlin 22 mag garden gun too.

High capacity pistol version please.

That lettering really looks terrible.

This would be good for... interrogation. Lol.

It would have been interesting to see the same test with a 22LR rifled barrel to compare.

Do you sell that furniture by itself ? I would love it on my H001

Much better than shooting those shells from a rifle. Are there plans for a .22 Magnum version? Could even go into a big bore and make one to shoot .38 special CCI shotshells.

Your problem may be finding birdshot?

Fun little lever gun. Picked one up a year or so ago, I've had rat issues. Hard to find in Canada, waited well over a year for a dealer to get some in stock. Being a smooth bore I'm wondering why not simply have a bead sight on it vs buckhorn rear + front blade? While it works ok, seems overkill for such a short range shotgun as would be an optic. I suspect it's due to manufacturing economy of scale? Easier to just keep the line running as for the rifled version? For the extra $$$ charged it would be nice to customize the sight appropriately for a shotgun. ;) For chits & giggles I put a peep sight on the receiver & removed the buckhorn. Need to go shoot it now to see if I need to mess with the front blade, perhaps remove it altogether.

Y'all gotta make a third version of the Original Henry rifle but only this time chamber it in .45 ACP or .45 Auto Rim. I noticed that the .44 Rimfire cartridge that the 1860 Henry fired is pretty similar to .45 ACP when it comes to size & ballistics, and knowing that they're both small cartridges (compared to .45 Colt and .44-40) I feel like it's possible that an Original Henry rifle in .45 ACP could hold up to 15-16 rounds just like the 1860 Henry did.

I thought that’s what the 410 axe was for!

I keep thinking the 9mm flobert that was avaliable in mass 10 years ago would be way more a garden gun. They had a single shot like a H&R...with the rimfire 9mm shot shells...that would be mean in a lever gun.

I live in a townhouse - so no need for one of these, but I do own a Henry lever rifle in 22LR. IF I did need to get rid of snakes etc. I would use my Ruger single six in 22 Mag for the job - yes I have patterned it.

Where I can get one and what it sells for

So now where are the sabot slugs for this shotgun?🤓

Let's see some TSS rounds and see if we can't increase the distance another 10 yards.

cost?

I'm not a professional and I understand that this is a VERY "application specific" weapon but still I really wonder, even in this most specific application, Wouldn't most homesteaders be better served by a garden variety .410?

Kann man diese "garden gun" auch in österreich/austria kaufen?

How much done the 22 garden ri cost

its actually good idea.... id like to see an interchangeable barrel....

Wonder if it could take squirrels or rabbits.

About how much are they?

Hey, Whipple weed I got a nice 38. Was snake shot in it. Take your little broomstick and hide it behind some doors somewhere.

Is this an American version of the English rook rifle?

Or just get CCI 22lr Quiet rounds. They shoot about 800ft per second so essentially pellet gun. Also quiet as a pellet gun.....

EVERYBODY TALKS : WINCHESTER, REMINGTON, SMITH & WESSON AND COLT. HOW AND THE HELL DOES THIS GREAT AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS GO UNDER THE RADAR!

No choke?

So use the golden boy i inherited instead of buying a new gun for an old use

Be great if you can get the ammo

I thought it was an air gun at first! I can't help but think it would benefit from some flight control

That must be expensive as hell to shoot. Because I’ve never even seen rat shot in a store. Unless it was $50 a box. At a sporting good store

.22 cal birdshot has been around longer than this guy, so it's only new to him.

When speed shooting a lever action, keep your finger furter back on the lever and rested in a slightly higher position. That way as the action of closing the lever happens, you time it so your squeezing the trigger by having your finger hit it, without pulling it but touching it in one fluid motion for your shot.

I have one

I think Savage made a single shot bolt gun like this. That's my sketchy memory, FYI, so if that's incorrect don't pound me. Good idea at the right price point. I wouldn't pay a lot for it. You can keep the cats out of your flower bed without killing them.

R&D department for Henry has obviously been on vacation. I feel bad for the guy doing this video as he needs to stay awake & try to make this thing look interesting. When is Henry actually going to come out with something like new & maybe even cool?

You can do the same thing with a Jack Russell terrier and have a companion.

They should make it so it can accept chokes.

If it has no rifling and it’s in a rifle caliber, is it technically a firearm isn’t that how Palmetto state was getting away with selling short barrel AR 15?

.22 shot shells are quite uncommon nowadays . Where are you getting enough of them to even chamber a weapon in ?

Great Job. Good vid for referring to shot pattern. 😅

Suggested Retail?

That's exactly what it is a garden gun . Rats mice moles beware .

How is it on cicadas 😃

22 mag?

I'm wondering how they get away with a smoothbore rifle that could still fire standard ammo.

hope you dont send this to Australia and offer no gunsmithing on brand new junk jamming rifles

Yeah that's the first thing I thought to the lettering in white on the barrel looks horrible and for a gun that is only good to 30 ft maximum although I do understand its purpose but i could use a $50.00 pellet gun for the same purpose and I'm sure this thing is in the hundreds love me a Henry rifle but no thanks.

Could that be used for self-defence against a human?

Why can’t I use a pellet rifle or pistol?

I live in the city, and there is rats squirrels and snakes, because I live near an unkept ditch. Is this gun allowed in the city.

Trying to find the ratshot rounds definitely isnt as easy as it used to be so i wouldnt buy it but hey you want what you want lol

is this gun good for ground hogs and rabbits?

What’s the price point?

Smooth bore does not mean no accuracy. Taofledermaus has proven this many times with high speed cameras.

It's easy to get the rifle, it's the ammo that is problematic. How about manufactures stop limiting the supply of ammo? That would impress me now.

crossman 22 phantom spring rifle is better and more efficient over 60 feet. costs the same.
