can the owner install sight on a golden boy that didn't come with one? also does it need to be sighted in or is it on the money just by installing ?

Visit the henry website. They have sight options for the golden boy. I bought mine for the low end 22lr. No, they are not on upon installation and I did not notice much difference from the stock sights. I will add a scope eventually.

Amazon does sell 2 different models for the Golden Boy, one is for the 22 Magnum & .17 HMR. The other is for the 22 Golden Boy. Just do an Amazon Search for TruGlo sight for Henry Golden Boy. The Golden boy models are a set with the bright front sight and also a 2 dot glowing rear sight and both are a Prime Shipping item.

NO - it only fits the basic model H001. The HiViz front sight height is the same as the factory sight, so adjustment should be minimal.

Easy to install. Has a set screw that insures sight fits with no adjustment needed, as always henry is on top of it. well worth buying. I wareglasses hard to see the front sight , this sight is a must! wish all guns had it!

My gun came with open sights(no mount). At $250. from AOA, I'm not complaining.

Yes, you will be able to co-witness the factory sights. I have an M&P 40 and tried my sights on it. Just order the one with the mounting plates. Very easy to install.

I'm not positive, but I think the size of the front sight depends on the make and model of the gun plus the way the original front sight is installed. Some gunsmiths buy 6-inch tritium rods and cut them to size. Also, the way the original sight is mounted determines whether special machining is necessary. As far as visibility, glow in the dark is about as visible as it gets.

I had my gun smith install both. He has a jig to drill the holes for the rear sight. Drilled and tapped. And the front sight was welded on. Let a pro do it on this one. It will work and look great. Regards. Helmut 1*

As others have said, it's a piece of cake if you have the right tools, but the right tool for the rear sight (called a "sight pusher"). I have one but it cost me well over $100. You can also use a hammer and punch, as long as the punch is made out of something that will not damage the slide, but that takes a while and is a bit of a pain. Unless you are a chronic gun tinkerer like me, I think that taking it to a gunsmith is the way to go.

You should not have any problems attaching this sight to your new PSE. I have an old Golden Eagle and it took me no time at all to install this sight.

It had a knob adjustable peep sight on it, but the truth is I cut off the front sight and did not install the back sight. I use it like a shotgun to train with.

I think there is a tag with info in the blind or in the carrying pouch. You can always go to their web site and get the instructions.

I'm not sure, the sight has a small little nut that you can see from the top. You would need very small needle pliers to hold the nut.

This item requires the front sight to be soldered on. It's not easy and I would recommend finding a gunsmith willing to do it before purchasing. I tried contacting mossberg to see if they'd do it off me but never responded.

The new sight has a stud on the bottom that fits in the slot in the slide. Sometimes this needs a little bit of fitting. The sight is held on the slide with a tiny screw that is provided with the sight. I highly recommend you purchase the little sight installation socket or grind down one of your own. With the proper socket size, it is not too difficult to install the sight. Also advise you to clean the sight hole and the screw with alcohol and put some Blue Locktite on the threads.

You can keep the front sight on, the top handguard installs from the top, and doesn't affect the front sight. fyi - when removing the original rail from the reciever, don't lose the small black metal disc & spring from the bottom of the backup rear sight.

It comes with a mount and instructions although you won't need them. Not sure I completely understand the question. I personally would shell out some extra cash for a mount from a company that specializes in mounts i.e. Larue or ARMS. If you're wondering about zeroing it in...I put the red dot on top of the front sight. That gets you close and you can tighten it up at the range.

You will need to modify the sight tool. If you have a dremel it will be an easy modification.
