My H015 will arrive in a few days, so I’ll comment more later.
The site should be fixed. We show secure now, we should have a favicon and the picture aspect should be better.
Henry Single shot 44
Re: Henry Single shot 44
This is the FP-HR-TK on my Handi .223 Note that the two, high mounting screws are not what Williams ships with the sight. Theirs sit lower and flush.

Re: Henry Single shot 44
That is an interesting sight. I didn't know Williams made a FP model for NEF, I'd only seen the WGRS version. There's one thing I would check. The sight/scope base mounting screw holes are located slightly farther back on the Henry than they are on the NEF/H&R guns. That's why the Weaver 82 base fits, while some others (Warne 981M, for example) need to be slightly modified to clear the standing breech. I would want to know how far the rearmost mounting screw hole is from the end of the sight base on the FP (and WGRS, too) before I ordered one. I have my Warne base ready to go, so probably won't "go Peep", but I'm interested in checking it out, because it may very well allow use of the factory front sight.
I have discussed this issue via E-Mail with Andy at Skinner sights, I understand that his sights will fit Henry single shots.

Re: Henry Single shot 44
So far I’ve only tried American Eagle 44 240 grain jacketed hollow point and it likes them so well I don’t need to try anymore but will try a solid like HSM 305 grain hard cast just in case I need them.

Re: Henry Single shot 44
An update on using the Williams FP-HR receiver sight on the Henry Single Shot: On the Graybeard Outdoors web site, there is a thread on the Henry Repeating Arms page about modifying that sight to fit. It does take a little milling to clear the standing breech (as I did with the Warne scope base) as well as a little on the side to clear the receiver. There are nice, sharp photos posted. I believe it was done with a milling machine. It would require some pretty fancy filing to do by hand.
