The No. 2 Marlin Tang Sight

Post by JEBar » Mon Jan 23, 2017 11:20 am

according to the info given in this link ====> http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/sigh ... -sight.php <==== Lyman's No. 2 Marlin Tang Sight is designed to use on a Marlin which often means it will fit on a Henry .... I believe that it is the tang sight that can be seen in Sir Henry's logo ..... question : do any of our members have experience with this tang sight .... I have no desire to remove its OEM Buckhorn sights and would like to add one to our grandson's Henry 357 ....

No personal experience, but I suspect you're right that if it works on a Marlin, it might also work on a Henry.

The stock on the 44-40 rifle is amazing! Great collection. ;)

That was a plain jane stock like the 357 Rossi I posted and I stained it to look that way . Here is another one I did .

Wow, TGR. So, this photo is of an ordinary, plain grained, "vanilla" wood made to look like it has an exotic grain by the application technique of the stain? Awesome. Thanks for sharing that.
