I hate when a company doesn't make after market or upgrade parts for their own products. Sometimes it's easier to order a product with the upgrades than to deal with changing things after you get the gun. I like options.

The only upgrading I felt my H001 needed was a peep and a daub of orange BRIGHT SIGHTS paint up front:

I've had Marlin 39's. BL-22's, and both magnum and LR Winchester 9422's in the past.
The Marlins were the most accurate, and the 9422's the "gunniest" - but iMHO the Henry is right there along with them, at a lot less cost.
I also had a Golden Boy when they were first issued, but didn't care for the weight, among some other issues.
My next gun wll be a .22WRM standard H001M.

I also like peep sights.
Welcome to the forum, PetahW!

I'm glad to be here !
I filled the rear barrel dovetail with a generic slot filler after removing the rear sight - one of the most tightly installed I've ever run across, BTW.
The peep is a replacement for a military Mauser's rear barrel/battle sight - the Williams WM-96 Peep (Williams also makes the WM-96 in an open sight) - which I modified by drilling an attachment hole vertically through it's forward tongue for a 6-48 scope mount screw, also D/T one hole in the receiver cover for it.
After the sight was installed, I ran a small drill bit down through the elevation screw hole to dimple the receiver cover top there to preclude any sideways sight movement from raps, etc.
It's low enough, that a higher from sight wasn't needed to zero the rifle.
The white outline in the peep aperture is a slimmed sling swivel white line spacer.

Looks like it'd work great. Job well done it seems.
