XS Sights recently introduced a new aftermarket handguard option that replaces the original handguard for Smith & Wesson’s Model 1854 lever-action rifle with the 19.25-inch barrel chambered for .44 Magnum. This new aluminum handguard is longer, so it covers more of the hot barrel’s surface area and also has M-Lok slots on all three sides to facilitate the mounting of accessories on your rifle.
“We designed this handguard with real shooters in mind,” said Jeff King, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “It balances modern accessory options with a sleek, more natural fit that feels right in the hands. Whether you’re new to lever guns or have been running them for decades, our handguard gives you the option to customize the platform how you want.”
