XS Sights Lever Rail for Henry 45-70 - Aluminum Black
The XS Sights Lever Rail for Henry .45-70 is a Picatinny-spec aluminum mounting rail purpose-built for Henry steel-frame carbines chambered in .45-70. If you're running XS Ghost Ring Sights on your Henry or want to add an optic without permanent modification, this lever rail bolts directly to your rifle's receiver, giving you a rock-solid platform for scopes, red dots, LPVOs, or scout scopes. It's the kind of accessory that transforms a lever gun into a genuinely versatile shooter.
Built from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with hard anodizing, this rail is engineered to handle hard use in any weather. The lightweight design won't throw off your rifle's balance, and the mil-standard 1913 slot pattern means you can mount virtually any optic or sight you own. Because XS designed this rail specifically for Henry .45-70 steel receivers with round barrels, fitment is precise—no guessing, no modifications needed.
Whether you're setting up a dedicated hunting rifle, a range gun, or just want the flexibility to swap between iron sights and glass, this lever rail unlocks options that don't exist on the standard receiver. Fort Worth–manufactured, it's a no-fuss upgrade that respects what makes a lever gun great while opening up modern sighting solutions.
