Overview

Henry's large-frame lever guns ship without a factory optic rail, and the XS Sights Henry Lever Rail is the cleanest way to add one. It is a one-piece machined aluminum Picatinny base that bolts to the .45-70 round-barrel receiver and gives you a full-length top rail for a scout scope, an LPVO, or a low-mounted red dot.

The rail sits low and forward enough to keep the factory iron sights usable underneath on most setups, and it is rigid enough to hold zero under the .45-70's recoil, which is the real test for any lever-gun mount. XS also builds this rail as the foundation for the brand's ghost-ring iron set, so you can run the rail alone now and add the rear aperture later without a second base.

This is the .45-70 round-barrel version (HN-6000R-N). XS makes the same rail in caliber-specific cuts for the .357 (HN-6001R-N) and .44 (HN-6002R-N) Big Boys at the same price point, so match the part number to your chambering and barrel profile.

Key Features

  • One-piece machined aluminum Picatinny rail
  • Fits Henry .45-70 round-barrel steel rifles
  • Full-length top rail for scout scopes, LPVOs, and red dots
  • Doubles as the base for the XS ghost-ring iron set
  • Matte black anodized finish
  • Holds zero under heavy lever-gun recoil

Pros

  • +Adds a rigid optic base to a rifle with no factory rail
  • +Foundation for the XS ghost-ring backup iron set
  • +Low enough to keep factory irons co-witnessed on most builds

Cons

  • Caliber and barrel-profile specific; match the exact part number
  • Aluminum, not steel, so heavier-recoiling builds need correct torque
  • Adds height that some traditional lever shooters dislike
