Hello Lads,
I have been a lever gun shooter for 50 years, my first being a Marling 39. Being left handed it was narural to go to the lever gun, and being a cowboy since age 6, well it was predetermined to love lever guns.
I put off buying a Henry fro years, I have the Comarron 66, 73, 76, the Rossi 92, and the Winchester 95, 94 and so on. But I had passed on the Henry only because of the open tube magazine and the lack of a foream, well that and the $1300.00 plus price tag
my Gun Club has a large gun show every month, and a dealer had a Cimarron Henry on his rack for four months the price tag had dropped monthly from $1200.00 to $1050.00 over the months. It was sold as new without a box, but it for all reasons looks new.
After some negotiations, I left the show with the Henry at $900.00 out the door.
In short words, I love this gun. My only complaint is my 64 year eyes can not find the front blade in that tiny V notch.
I don't want to replace the sight, I want to keep it as close to original as possible, nor do I want to add a tang sight to it.
Any input on opening that tiny V? I would love to see it as a square Partridge, but not sure of that or to wide the V.
Any one do an operation on theirs to solve this?
Thanks ahead of time, and Happy trails.
