Gonna have to move those sights back to the barrel before shooting in a SASS match.  Oh, and find a couple boxes of 44 Rimfire.  I mean, if you could afford that/those rifle(s) then you could afford the ammo as well, right?

Yepper!!  Gotta move those sights back to the barrels fer sure.  Oh, and the last time I saw a box of 44 Henry Flat up for sale, twaz prices some north of Eight Hundred Bucks.

I actually owned an Italian repro that the previous owner had not only antiqued, but he also milled a sight slot on the top of the receiver like an early Henry. Far too close to get a good sight picture in that configuration. It was cool however.

One could readily change the blade on the rear sight to a peep or ghost ring. There is actually provenace for that, as both were used on crossbows and matchlocks in switzerland.

Ah Yes My good Perfesser 

It was not at all uncommon for Henry Rifles to have some form of rear sight dovetailed into the Receiver.  I've never been able to fathom "why" though as a sight that close is not in focal length.

In todays world, cutting that dovetail is somewhat of a mistake.  SASS doesn't allow rifles with sights mounted to the receiver.  Capital NO NO.  My personal preference on ALL  (four) of my Henry rifles is the flat top Ladder Sight.
