Xs Sights Henry .45-70Xs Lever Rail Ghost Ring Ws

The XS Sights Henry .45-70 Lever Rail Ghost Ring WS transforms your classic lever-action rifle into a modern, versatile platform. This all-steel backup iron sight system pairs a rugged Picatinny-spec rail with a fully adjustable ghost ring rear sight, giving you the flexibility to run optics, red dots, or iron sights—or switch between them as your hunting or range situation demands. Built for the Henry .45-70 with a steel receiver and round barrel, it's the kind of upgrade that keeps a time-tested cartridge and rifle relevant for everything from elk to hog hunting across varied terrain.

Installation is straightforward: the rail mounts where your factory rear sight sits, and the XS Ghost Ring takes its place with fully adjustable windage and elevation. Two interchangeable apertures—.230" and .191" inside diameter—let you dial in the sight picture you want, whether you're hunting in bright midday sun or pushing into timber at first light. The anodized aluminum rail is lightweight but tough, machined to Picatinny specification so you can mount a scope directly above the receiver for traditional hunting optics, push a red dot or scout scope forward on the rail for a more modern setup, or rely on the ghost ring alone. The XS White Stripe front sight features a blued steel body with a high-visibility painted white stripe to complement the system. Torque all fasteners to 20 inch-pounds during installation—over-torquing risks damaging the screws.

Whether you're hunting medium to large game, running drills at the range, or simply want to modernize a Henry lever gun without sacrificing its character, this rail and sight combo gives you genuine versatility. It's the kind of practical upgrade that serious .45-70 shooters rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rail and sight fit my Henry .45-70?

Yes, the XS Lever Rail Ghost Ring WS is designed for Henry .45-70 rifles with a steel receiver and round barrel. The rail installs in place of the factory rear sight, and the XS Ghost Ring replaces it. Confirm your Henry matches this configuration before ordering.

Can I use this with a scope or red dot sight?

Absolutely. The Picatinny rail allows you to mount a scope directly over the receiver for traditional hunting optics, or position a red dot or scout scope forward on the rail. You can also run the ghost ring irons alone or as a backup to your optic.

What's the difference between the two apertures?

The XS Ghost Ring comes with two aperture sizes: .230" and .191" inside diameter. The smaller aperture tightens your sight picture in bright conditions, while the larger one works better in low light or shade.

Is installation difficult?

Installation requires removal of your factory rear sight and mounting the rail and XS Ghost Ring in its place. All fasteners torque to 20 inch-pounds—be careful not to over-torque, as this can fracture or break the screws.
