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 are designed to dissipate heat effectively for comfort during extended shooting sessions.

“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 for XS Sights.

Fits: All Henry rifle models chambered in .357 Mag/.38 Spl., .44 Mag/.44 Spl. and .45-70 Government.
