Frontier Front Sight

Post by leverjc » Sat Mar 28, 2020 10:58 am

Just ordered a Henry 24" Frontier and it will probably take several days to get here so I am wondering if the stock front sight will work with a Williams FP that I already have. If not I would like to place an order with Skinner so that will both be here about the same time.

Thanks

Kinda need to wait until you know the front sight height on the new rifle so you can calculate if it will work - or 'calculate' it on the range with a few rounds!

I would not order a sight for a rifle you do not have and don't know if the stock one will work or not - as it just might!

I believe the Williams FP sight is receiver specific. It might not fit on the rifle itself. But since you already have it nothing is lost.

Jack,
You will need a Williams FP GR, for the 3/8s dove tail on the receiver.
Most I've seen have put the globe front sights on their Henry Long Barrel Frontiers.
I would not recomend Skinner sights for Silhouette.

The one I have fits on the reciever. After a little further thought I think I will put a Skinner blade up front and adjust with file when it all comes together.

As a comparison.
My H001T has a Williams AG FP/tk with an extended elevation screw, using the Stock front site and I can target 100 yard Rams with CCI Suppressor ammo with at 950fps listed mv.

Marbels 3/16 bead sights at100 meter+ targets don't look like a manhole covers.
