Henry Frontier LB

Post by Matureshooter » Wed Nov 29, 2017 8:06 pm

I'm anxious to get to the range now. Just finished with the sight change on my Henry. Installed a Marbles Improved Tang Sight and a Lyman 17A Globe on the front. I had to remove the factory rear sight and do a lot of work on the front sight to get it to fit the factory dovetail, but I was persistent and accomplished the mission. I know this is going to be a real tack driver.

Old timey AND very effective. Have done it, now, to a couple of rifles and love that tang/globe combo. I'm sure you will, too. Nice job.

WOW! Want the same rifle with a change in sights. Wondered if a Creedmoor vernier tang sight from Trackofthewolf.com would fit on the tang? Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. I intend to shoot at targets 99% of the time. Want the .22 Mag and go out to maybe 200 yrds?
