XS Sights, Ghost Ring Sight, White Stripe, Fits Henry .45-70 with Round Barrel - HN-0001-5 - 647533018944
Product Description
Factory buckhorn iron sights on lever-action rifles often slow down target acquisition in dense woods or low-light brush environments. The narrow rear notch and small front bead require precise visual alignment that can be difficult to acquire quickly when tracking fast-moving game under heavy canopy cover. The XS Sights Ghost Ring Sight Set for Henry .45-70 round barrel rifles (HN-0001-5) resolves these sight picture limitations by replacing restrictive factory irons with a high-speed aperture and high-contrast white stripe front sight post.
Precision-machined from solid blued steel, the rear aperture housing mounts directly to the Henry receiver’s factory scope tapping holes. The ghost ring aperture naturally draws the shooter’s eye to the center of the ring, allowing you to focus entirely on the front sight post without consciously aligning rear sight notch margins. The front sight features a bold, vertical white stripe that draws immediate visual focus against dark woodland backgrounds and game hide.
Fully adjustable for windage and elevation, the HN-0001-5 set comes complete with both .230" and .190" diameter rear ghost ring apertures to customize your sight picture for maximum target speed or refined long-range accuracy. Upgrade your Henry .45-70 lever gun into an all-weather, fast-indexing brush hunting platform built to handle heavy recoil.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct compatibility with Henry .45-70 lever-action rifles equipped with round barrels and factory receiver top scope tapping (e.g., Henry H010 round barrel series). Not compatible with octagonal barrel models or non-Henry platforms. Requires removing the factory rear buckhorn sight and front ramp/bead.
Installation Sequence:
- Clear the firearm, cycle the action, and physically and visually inspect the chamber and tube magazine to verify an empty status.
- Drift out the factory front sight post from its dovetail using a brass punch and gunsmith hammer.
- Remove the factory receiver plug screws from the top rear tapping holes using a proper gunsmith screwdriver.
- Install the XS Ghost Ring rear sight base onto the receiver using the provided mounting screws and a light drop of medium-strength threadlocker (Loctite 242).
- Drift the XS white stripe front sight post into the front dovetail, center it, and perform initial range zeroing for elevation and windage.
