    Henry front sight removal?

    It looks like I will eventually have to increase the height of my front sight as it shoot about 12" high at 50 yds using the factory rear sight. It looks like it should punch out of the slot and a new one tapped back in. Before I start banging on things, I thought I would ask.
    Also I have seen a pic of a Rich Cross replacement rear sight. Are those still available? Thank you.

    Answered my own question. Earlier thread said that it slides into the slot, to punch it out. Paul Lampman said that S&S sells higher front sites and they do. Key word is Uberti. Thank you.

    Lou, are these exact copies or do they have blanks so that one can drill/file his own aperture or slot? How much $? I'm just in the process of grouping the rds. Thank you.
