The XS Sight Systems HN-1001-5 transforms Henry .45-70 lever action rifles with a precision-engineered rail system and ghost ring sight combination. This specialized sight system addresses the traditional lever gun's limited optics mounting options while maintaining the classic ghost ring sight setup for rapid target acquisition.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic rail systems that compromise the rifle's profile, the HN-1001-5 integrates seamlessly with Henry .45-70 lever actions through rifle-specific engineering. The ghost ring aperture provides a wider field of view compared to traditional peep sights, while the integrated rail section allows for modern optics mounting without permanent modifications to the receiver. Installation requires no gunsmithing or drilling, preserving the rifle's original condition and resale value.
Key Features
- Rifle-specific fit for Henry .45-70 lever action models

- Tool-free installation with no permanent modifications

The ghost ring configuration excels in hunting scenarios where fast target acquisition matters most, particularly in dense cover or low-light conditions. The .200" aperture provides the precision needed for accurate shot placement on large game while maintaining the speed advantage over traditional notch-and-post sights. The rail section accommodates red dot sights, low-power scopes, or tactical lights without interfering with the lever action's operation.
