[vikz]

Hello guys here is the other part of my transaction that i did today..I just wanted a lever for fun, I figure since i will be getting my AR convertion kt next week why not get a decent fun rifle..here she is..Anybody knows where can i get a decent replacement rear and front sights for this thing??thanks..

[S.B.]

I can't tell from your photos but, do Henrys have the two small holes on the left, rear, top of their receivers to mount receiver sights?

This Henry has a grooved receiver so will take these clamp-on type receiver peeps. Front sight more difficult to replace.

Congratulations on a real good Fun Gun If I didn't have two Winchesters and a Savage I would get me one of those Big Loop Carbines.
If you check out Rimfire Central at, rimfirecentral.com They have a forum dedicated to Henry Repeating Arms where changing sights is nearly always a topic. Ganjiro's suggestions for a rear sight are the way to go.

Congrats.I believe you can order a factory steel frontsight from Henry to replace the issue plastic one.Gamekeeper is wise to direct you to rimfire Central.

Congrats! These are very fun little guns!

IIRC, someone here posted on replacing the front sight with a fiber optic one. As Ji noted, not straightforward, but it can be done.

This Williams (WM-96) peep uses the issue (height) front sight for a good zero.
I painted the front sight blade tip BRIGHT SIGHTS orange .

You can indeed get a metal front sight and barrel band from Henry Arms. Just give them a call and they'll fix you up.

I have a set here on my desk that's destined for my grandson's youth model Henry.

i have the same exact model as u (original poster) and mine is very accurate with the original open sights. If i install a peep i imagine my shots would all go into 1 hole.

I reciently purchased a Henry 22mag, it didnt come with the large loop lever, I can purchase one for $50.00 and am wondering how you guys like the lg lever?

well, it looks cool, but is not as fast or comfortable to shoot, for me at least. I only bought the large loop model because i didn't have any LL lever guns. I wouldn't want one on my centerfire leverguns because i like the stability and speed of having the lever right against my hand when shooting. and i would say i have larger than average hands. A Glock 21 fits my hand fairly well.
