Good job! Hard to beat the Williams' sights - that why I have them on all my levers!

Which Williams model # specifically and where did you get it? Having trouble finding Henry-specific versions. Did you keep the brass bead front sights, or change them out, too? Always looking...

Well, for my Henry I used the WGRS-336 intended for the Marlin 336.
As I said before I flipped the windage slide around in the sight base and mounted the sight backwards so it did not hang over the receiver.
I swapped the brass bead for a Winchester .490 height blade - but I think I prefer the bead and I am going to change it back out.
I bought mine online for $39.95 from Midway I believe.

I wonder which Lyman Globe would be the right height...

The front sight will have to be taller proportionally to the rear which will higher due to mounting on the receiver.
There are a couple sight height calculators on the internet (one on Brownell’s site) but I simply got lucky with the .490 off one of my Winchesters.
Actually I did a rough measurement comparing the difference between the barrel mounted buckhorn to the receiver sight height and figured the .490 would be pretty close - and it was. At my current 50 yard POI the elevation on the Williams is right at the ‘halfway’ mark on the ‘graduations’ on the side of the sight so I have room for a longer sight in but I doubt I’ll need it.
