For Henry .45-70 owners who prefer irons over glass, this XS Sights Ghost Ring WS set is a serious upgrade over the factory buckhorn. The large rear ghost ring opens up your sight picture so your eye naturally centers the target, while the white stripe front post gives you a crisp, high-contrast aiming point. The result is faster, more instinctive shooting whether you're tracking game in deep timber or ringing steel on a lazy afternoon.
The rear sight ships with two interchangeable apertures, a .230-inch and a .191-inch inside diameter, so you can match your setup to the conditions. The bigger opening grabs targets fast in low light, while the tighter aperture tightens things up for precision work and brighter days. Both the rear ghost ring and front post are precision CNC machined from steel at XS Sights' shop in Fort Worth, Texas, and the rear is fully adjustable for windage and elevation. The white stripe front sight replaces the existing blade and ramp with a blued steel body and a painted white face that pops against dark game or shows clean edges on lighter targets and paper.
This is the screw-on front sight version, meaning it fits Henry .45-70 round-barrel rifles where the factory front sight is screwed onto the barrel rather than dovetailed in. Just as important, this ghost ring set is designed to run exclusively with the XS Lever Rail (part HN-6000R-N). The rear sight mounts to the rail, not directly to the gun, so you'll want that rail in your cart too if you don't already have one installed. The rail also keeps you covered for an optic down the road, since it accepts everything from red dots to scout scopes.
Installation is a straightforward DIY job, though a set of quality screwdrivers and a torque driver make it painless since the screws call for a light 20 inch-pound spec. Once it's on, this set is engineered to shrug off drops, weather, and years of recoil from that big .45-70. It's a clean, rugged way to keep classic iron sights on your lever gun while giving your eyes a much better picture.
No. This ghost ring set is designed to mount to the XS Lever Rail (part HN-6000R-N) and will not zero on its own or with another rail system. The rear sight attaches to the rail rather than directly to the rifle, so you'll need that rail installed to run these sights.
This is the screw-on front sight model (HN-0001-5), which fits Henry .45-70 round-barrel rifles where the factory front sight is screwed onto the barrel. If your front sight blade is dovetailed directly into the barrel, you'll want the HN-0002-5 version instead. Check your barrel before ordering to be sure of the fit.
The set includes a .230-inch and a .191-inch inside diameter aperture so you can tune your sight picture to your conditions. The larger ring gives you a wider, faster field of view in low light and fast-moving situations, while the tighter one sharpens up precision in brighter conditions. Swapping them is quick and lets one sight do double duty.
Yes, it's a DIY-friendly job for most folks comfortable with basic gunsmithing. The included red threadlocker and screw kit have you covered, and the screws torque to a light 20 inch-pounds, so a torque driver helps you avoid over-tightening. If you'd rather not tackle it, any gunsmith can knock it out quickly.
