XS Sights, Lever Rail, Optic Plate and Ghost Ring Sight, Fits Henry 45-70 with Round Barrel, White Stripe - HN-1001-5 - 647533046923
Product Description
Modernizing a classic lever-action rifle for fast target acquisition traditionally forces shooters to choose between mounting an optic or retaining reliable backup iron sights. Standard receiver scope rails obscure factory buckhorn sights, while traditional sight setups lack the rail space needed for scout scopes, red dots, or optic-magnifier combinations. The XS Sights Lever Rail & Ghost Ring Sight System for Henry .45-70 round barrel rifles (HN-1001-5) resolves this compromise by combining a full-length extended Picatinny rail with integrated high-speed backup iron sights in a single package.
Precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with hardcoat anodizing, the full-length Lever Rail extends from the rear of the receiver forward onto the barrel. This layout allows flexible optic positioning—from long-eye-relief scout scopes to modern micro red dots—while easily withstanding heavy .45-70 Government recoil impulses. Integrated into the rear of the rail is a CNC-machined steel Ghost Ring aperture sight, which pairs with a high-visibility white stripe front post to provide immediate visual alignment through optic QD mounts or as primary irons.
Engineered explicitly for round-barrel Henry .45-70 rifles, the HN-1001-5 system attaches cleanly using factory receiver tapping and front dovetail locations without requiring permanent gunsmith alterations. Upgrade your lever gun into an all-weather, optic-ready, dual-sighting brush platform.
*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 factory rear buckhorn sights and front sight assemblies during installation.
Installation Sequence:
- Clear the firearm, cycle the action, and physically and visually inspect the chamber and tube magazine to verify an empty weapon.
- Drift out the factory front sight post and remove the factory rear sight/receiver plug screws.
- Install the XS white stripe front sight post into the front dovetail.
- Position the extended Lever Rail onto the receiver and barrel, aligning mounting holes with factory tapping points.
- Apply medium-strength threadlocker (Loctite 242) to mounting screws and torque evenly to manufacturer specs (12–15 in-lbs). Perform initial windage and elevation zeroing before mounting secondary optics.
