The number stamp is 336
Not the best pic.

Nice looking rifle with what looks like a Williams receiver peep sight. Is 336 the number on the gun or the sight?

It looks to be a Williams 5D top mount for a 336 Marlin. Differs from the Williams FP in that it adjusts manual and has no clicks to the adjustments. A little tricky to get zeroed but they work fine and are good sights except for when you change loads often then you go through the manual adjusting over again. Sometimes loads print close enough for hunting purposes that you need no adjustments. The 5D sells for about $40-45 dollars. When they came out the 5D number was actually the price back then.

[biglever]

Yes it's a willam's peep site
The 336 is stamped on the site in the pic.
Iam headed to the range in a couple mins.
With all kinds of ammo .
Will see what she likes best.

[JCN]

Very nice find indeed. I would have rescued her too! Last Henry I came across on a used rack was a 22 magnum. One of the few calibers I refuse to rescue!

Good find!

[biglever]

Very neat that you got the "birthdate" of your Henry. Those CS folk at Henry always come through for us.

With no sight adjusts, your Range Report looks really great. I think you have just added a quality Henry .30-30 to your firearms cabinet!

Jeff, from Henry just emailed me, my rifle was made on 3,24,2010.

Tonight I re-read through your entire thread, biglever, and noticed the picture you posted with your Henry-Case collector's edition knife next to your .30-30. Missed seeing that earlier. That's a really cool shot! I think I'll try taking some photos of my Henry SGC with my mini-Trapper, too.
Great idea.....thanks!
