All the newer ones are metal. I thought mine was plastic but a magnet confirmed that it is metal. HiVis makes a fiber optic front sight for it that is metal and has a removable dovetail sight blade
Call Henry. When I heard they'd upgraded to metal front sights and barrel bands, I phoned them to see if I could purchase those to retrofit to my son's older H001Y that came with plastic ones. The nice lady I spoke to at Henry sent me a set for free!
Might have to wait 'til the lockdown is over, though.
It is a bit narrower but hardly more precise. Spend a little bit extra and send your sight off to have a dovetail milled in it, then put a gold bead sight blade on it. I did, now I basically have the sights from a Marlin 336 on my H001M and the difference is amazing. I wish Henry would do that from the factory.
