Henry Rifle Sight replacement

#1

Post by cmgee67 »

Does anyone know if I can replace my front and rear sight off of my standard Henry rifle in 45-70 to the fiber optics sights that come from on the X-model?

Of course, you just ave to purchase the right sight (Round/Octagon barrel; Drilled & tapped or dovetail). Plenty of videos on Youtube detailing the process. Went with the skinner peep sight on my Henry 327 mag

Yes you can. I replaced the OEM sights on my Henry .22 with their fiberoptic sights. It’s a big improvement. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZB9JQX/re ... UTF8&psc=1

That said, on the Marlin .45-70 I used to own, I replaced the rear sight with a receiver-mounted Williams WRGS-336 adjustable peep sight, and the front with a fiberoptic sight I bought on eBay. Here’s the complete package on Amazon…
