I just got this sight kit for my henry rifle, the henry x in 357 magnum, and after installing the sight, as you can see in 5he photo, with light coming from under the front sight, there is a gap between the front sight and barrel. Given the edges are making contact with the barrel, it would seem to indicate the sight was made for a more narrow barrel then the one I have. I'm not sure if this will cause problems, and I wanted to see what people had to say. I wanted to check since I could always sand the sight flush to the barrel, but I didn't want to do that till I confirm this is actually a problem, since that risks ruining the sight

Waiting for the last couple parts to arrive today, I am looking forward to making her functional. I’ll post more photos later today
Let me see YOUR first AR vuild??

Started with a very good used x compact from gun broker.

Found a like new TXG grip module (also gun broker)

PMM Threaded barrel and comp kit

Gray guns trigger, competition spring kit, 2-3 pound pull (not tested)

Romeo RS Pro multi reticle green dot

Armory Craft Recoil Spring Tuning Kit.

---looking for suggestions on which spring to use. Will be firing for the first time in the next few days.

I will add an x300 or something similar.

I worked, saved, and searched for great deals on pre-owned parts and managed to keep this under a grand. I went into this not really knowing wtf I was doing and now I'm really proud of the results.
