What are my options for iron sight on a Henry lever .22?

[sametwinnie]

Hi folks, I just got my Henry lever action (blue model) and I already hate the iron sights! Too crude for my taste; the front sight look like a 2x4 lumber!!

I want something smaller and finer like the sight on the 10/22 or a peep sight on the receiver (not on the tang).

Also, anyone have an idea on how to put a rail on the barrel to install a EER scope or red dot?

Thanks

I've got a Henry Golden Boy with a beaded front sight and I think it's great. I see other models come with a hooded front sight.
Henry does sell cantilever scope mounts, though you have to drill and tap for installation. Maybe there's a replacement front sight available?

I have the same rifle. If you don't like the hood on the front site, just slide it off.

If the receiver is grooved, you can put a NECG peep sight on it.

This not about the hood, it's the post! Look like a 2x4!!!

And yes, the receiver is grooved but I want a smaller front sight too. Anyone know where to look for this kind of setup?

The NECG is nice and available from Brownells
You might need to match the height or your new front sight to work with a peep sight....

Any gunshop could order what you need and I think all the big mailorder guys in Canada sell sights as well.

For the winnie 9422, people on rimfire central usually put a marbles front sight on the rifle with a NECG rear. Should work for the henry.
