Henry Rifle Forums

I added a Skinner front lower profile brass sight and sling swivels. Found a nice simple leather sling for her. Still looking for a simple rear sight and left the stock alone - this is gonna be my camp/cabin rifle

Great pictures of a nice looking rifle. I really like it.

I like what you have done with it. Are you looking for a receiver or tang sight?

Does it come in brass?

No just steel. Simple Skinner peep on the receiver might be an option with a dove plug on the barrel for now.

Have you checked the sights at Track of the Wolf

No I'll look them up

Track of the Wolf is gonna work! Thanks Al

Kmb, when you going to shoot that "new Original"? It should be kind of interesting to see how it behaves. I'm thinking no problems. Sure like the way it looks.

Try Marbles, 100yrs + making rifle sights

Which one are you getting the brass rear

As soon as I can get that rear sight ordered and on I'll be at the range

Love it! Very nicely done.

Was out of town and still need to order the rear sight and it'll be complete. I can't wait to shoot it!

Will be getting the Lyman Delivered in a couple days! Range report to follow -

Looks like Thursday is gonna be the day! Just put the Lyman sight on (and cracked it) so I'll see if it's worth repurchasing or not.

That looks mighty fine. Has to work better that original irons. Good luck.

I have some simpler rear sights (steel) coming from Tracks of the Wolf. Between those and the Lyman I should have a winner. Bullseye sight from Marbles looks interesting too. Brass peep sight from Skinner is still in the mix if these don't work.

I bet a tool and die maker could take a hack saw blade and fit his little peep sight to that Lyman sight. Just a thought.
