Lyman Globe Question for Sir Henry

[tractortad]

Did you install the tang yourself? I'm thinking now I might install a tang sight in addition to a skinner receiver sight on my Golden Boy - just to see how much of a difference it makes. Kind of making this a test project rifle. Probably going to end up spending more on new sights than I did on the original rifle by the time I'm finished... and on top of that, those leather gunstock covers sure look real nice. I love tinkering around with these Henry rifles, but this hobby can get expensive quick.

No I had a LGS drill and tap..I didn't want to risk messing up and they did it for $20.00. Just a little more on the sight..Sister in law ,whom has never fired a rifle , went 3 for 3 at 50 yards. Great rifle and sights..go together very well and looks nice to boot.

I think you will find that either the Skinner (on the receiver) or a tang will both shoot very well. Especially if you try different apertures. Both are close to the eye. I'd just pick one and go for it. From a shooting stand point you will probably like the results from either. Whether the look pleases you is probably the bigger issue between them.
