Default Gunsmith required!!

Hi there;

I have a Henry Frontier .22 that I want to add Ghost Ring sights to. The only problem is, I can't seem to find a gunsmith who can do it. The only one who is able to, told me I would have to remove my buck-horn sights and that is where my ghost-ring sights would go. He also told me it wouldn't be cheap.

Seeing as how this option is both impractical to use for shooting and expensive, I thought I would look elsewhere.

Let me know what you have in mind and any options you can think of. I'm all ears

Would this work for you?

Go with the skinner sights. Easy and reasonable cost

Do you (or anyone reading this) have any experience with those skinner sights?

Putting a set of peep sights on something like a Henry is a pretty straight forward props position ,
I would look into s Williams if you want a traditional receiver sight unless you were thinking of a traditional tang sight?

I'm almost leaning towards the tang sight, just because of it's traditional look. I was thinking receiver sight because of the low, profile.

I just think the sight on the barrel looks odd so that's why I didn't want to go that route. I assume they are all equally accurate, as long as I am accurate.

The closer to your eye the rear sight is, the longer the sighting plain ANC the less error from your eyes to the sight
