Lever-action rifles are experiencing a full-blown renaissance. Hunters, shooters, and home defenders are rediscovering the fast, reliable function and nostalgic appeal of these classic firearms. But today’s lever guns aren’t just about heritage—they’re about performance, modularity, and real-world versatility.
Enter the XS Sights LVR-HG (Lever Action Handguard)—a modern solution for customizing your Henry rifle without sacrificing the sleek, lightweight design that makes lever guns so desirable in the first place.
There’s a reason lever-action rifles are showing up in more gun safes and field kits. They offer a unique blend of old-school charm and practical functionality. Whether you’re hunting whitetail in dense timber, working a ranch, or setting up a quick-handling home defense carbine, the lever gun checks a lot of boxes.
What’s changed in recent years is how these rifles are being outfitted. Shooters are demanding more accessory compatibility, better ergonomics, and slimmer, lighter builds—and XS Sights has responded.
XS Sights has long been a go-to brand for rugged iron sights and upgrades built for serious use. Their LVR-HG handguard continues that tradition, bringing modern features to the Henry lever-action platform.
Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, the handguard is both strong and incredibly lightweight. It offers a slim, smooth profile that feels great in hand—especially during extended use in the field or at the range.
Currently, the LVR-HG is available for Henry rifles chambered in:
Expect more models to be added soon, as demand for lever-action customization continues to grow.
The LVR-HG isn’t just for looks. Its design delivers performance benefits that hunters and tactical shooters alike will appreciate.
The aircraft-grade aluminum construction ensures you’re not adding unnecessary weight. For hunters putting in long days in the field, every ounce matters. The slim profile helps maintain balance and mobility—whether you’re climbing into a stand or tracking game on foot.
The LVR-HG features M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, allowing you to mount:
Whether you're setting up for long-range precision or need a home defense-ready configuration, the LVR-HG has the flexibility to meet your needs.
Each handguard is machined for a specific caliber and model of Henry rifle. This ensures a solid lock-up and a perfect fit out of the box. It’s critical to double-check compatibility before purchasing, as the LVR-HG is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
One of the standout features of the LVR-HG is its utility across different applications.
In the field, the handguard allows for a rock-solid bipod attachment, ideal for hunters looking to take longer shots from a stable platform. The lightweight design won’t bog you down, and the slim profile won’t catch on brush or gear.
At home, it offers a solid foundation for building a defensive rig with white lights, lasers, or sling setups—all without turning your lever gun into something bulky or unwieldy.
As one field reviewer noted, “It locks in solid and you can put all types of accessories on it. For me, I’m taking this sucker into the field and getting to work on some whitetail.”
XS Sights has delivered a well-thought-out, functional upgrade for the modern lever-action rifle. The LVR-HG handguard brings tactical capability and hunting utility together in a lightweight, durable package.
If you’re running a Henry rifle in .357, .44 Mag, or .45-70, this is one upgrade that will expand your rifle’s versatility without compromising its character. As more models roll out, expect to see even more lever guns getting the modern treatment.
