whitebcHenry 22 mag Tang Sight
I bought a Henry
I wanted a Tang Sight
Couldn't find anything for the Henry
So I bought a Lyman made for a Win 94.
Now the question I have is... The sight is not in line with the front sight when it is straight on the tang. If I move it over to the left a little bit it lines up with the sight but then it not straight on the tang
I have never had a tang sight before and I was wondering if there was something I was missing as far as L to R adjustment, cause I don't see any way to mount it straight in line with the tang and with the front sight at the same time.
So do I drill/tap the new hole in line with the tang so it looks right or do I move it to the left and drill/tap it there so it is "sighted in"?
Thanks

Steve E.My Tang sight has an adjustment where the stem of the sight fits to the base so you can move the aperture of the sight left or right. That being realized I drilled the holes in the tang to be centered
I would drill the holes centered, I have seen some Tang Sights with shims under one side to get them centered.
