NO! You put the top half pf the sight in the track with the aperture facing to the rear
DUH!! I overlooked flipping only the WINDAGE slider portion around - YES now this works! Problem solved! No drilling and tapping necessary!
This makes the WGRS a very satisfactory sight for the Henry. This occurred to me in my sleep at about 4:00 this morning and I had to get up and try it!

Yea same here ! I can’t believe I overlooked it myself last night. The windage slider is pretty small and easy to miss! Pretty simple fix to make the Williams WGRS work on the Henry as a lower cost alternative to some other sights. I am pretty stoked about it actually and may take the day off tomorrow to try it out! (And a vacation day wouldn’t hurt anyway!)

mistered - Yes I have done it myself and the aperture sits perfectly level onmy Marlins. Different model sight maybe?

No it’s the same sight - I just overlooked flipping the WINDAGE slider around - that’s all it needed.

Thank you tomf52.
Simply delightful to have a well fitting peep sight on my BBB.
