Xs Sights Henry Handguard

Lever guns are all the rage the last couple of years, and Henry lever-action rifles are among the most popular. So it's no surprise that XS Sights has introduced its all-new XS Lever Handguard (LVR-HG) for Henries, created to help shooters add modern accessories to their not-so-modern rifle designs.

This handguard will fit all Henry rifle models chambered in .357 Mag/.38 Spl, .44 Mag/.44 Spl, and .45-70. Essentially, it allows you to create a custom lever-action rifle build on your standard factory lever gun.

This highly customizable handguard comes equipped with six M-LOK slots on each side--and seven on the bottom--to accommodate a wide array of accessories. Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, the LVR-HG is rugged, yet lightweight ... and once installed, it offers an aesthetically pleasing look.

The handguard’s sleek profile matches the receiver’s lines for a sturdy and seamless fit, enhancing the structural integrity of the rifle while preserving the traditional look and feel of a lever gun. The angled slot cuts dissipate heat effectively for comfort during extended shooting sessions. The guard also closely matches receiver lines, for improved handling and stability.

“This new handguard allows Henry lever gun owners to add functional upgrades like lights, lasers, grips, and stabilizers to their rifle while staying true to the lever gun’s classic appeal,” said Jeff King, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. MSRP $247.50; www.xssights.com.
