So I have a Henry h001 which has a 11mm dovetail mount and I’ve bought a bushnell 1-4x32 scope but the mounts are dovetail 20mm. I’ve seen some adapters on Amazon but can’t seem to find a dovetail 11-20mm adapter tho, most are dovetail to picitanny or weaver
Previous owner claims they’re dovetail rings, would these work possibly ??

Best option IMO is a set of dovetail rings.
 
A European 11 mm wide dovetail on a receiver will have 60 degree side angles. A 3/8" North American size (about 12.5 mm across the top) will have 45 degree side angles. Some do not care about that fit. Some do. How to measure and the differences were discussed on previous CGN postings and on RimfireCentral.

I just checked mine with my digital caliper and I have a European dove tail 11.25mm, when I moved it to 3/8” it was like quite distance and a lot of sloop
 
Ya the mounts I bought work great and were about 30$ or so and have some adjustment for height they work quite well for my set up. I like them so far

I just bought one of these and it slides over the dove tail very easily. Haven't tightened it down yet but it appears very promising.

That leaves marks on the top of the reciever when removed.

Works for ⅜" and 11mm.

I used this snap in rail.
Works fantastic.

As you tighten the rings it snugs the adapter into the dovetail grooves.

No damage to your gun , so maintains it's value if you ever resell it.

Well I got my handguard for it and such all installed, I did notice I have a small clearance issue with my big loop and the stock lol. I might need to take it off and sand it down and repaint and clear it again. I was sure it would clear but guess not, maybe if I shoot it enough it’ll dent it resin enough for clearance

But you can see in the pic that it hits the stock, and I have some quivers I was thinking about putting on as well. The one on back of my handguard I thought of I cut off one holder it’ll clear the screw for maintenance/cleaning and will hold ten rounds still. I’ve also got some tan paracord to wrap my lever as well

What you guys think ??

What do I think? - many of the lever guns that I am familiar with will not fire unless the lever is fully closed - so if your lever is hitting the wood stock, it may not fire. Then wrapping it with para-cord is going to make that lever fatter, where is might hit the stock - unless you only braid cover part of that lever. But I think you are going to want some clearance there - with the action fully closed.

Well I cycled dummy rounds and they all cycled as they should, and would even fire as well. Now for paracord wrap it only be wrapped on the lower edge where your hand would be so it’s a bit softer on the hand, so it wouldn’t create a clearance problem there.

It won’t hit the wood stock, but the custom resin 3d printed stock it touches a bit
