The 28-Slot M-Lok Slot Handguard will be available for the .44 magnum variant of the 1854, with more to follow.

XS Sights Introduces M-Lok Handguards for the Smith & Wesson Model 1854

The new XS Sights handguard for Smith & Wesson’s Model 1854 lever-action rifle (chambered in .44 Magnum with a 19.25” barrel) has been revealed as a new option for customization and tactical freedom for the platform. With 28 total M-Lok slots, nine on each side and ten along the bottom, shooters have ample room for accessories without compromising the rifle’s classic lever-gun feel. For those who prefer a fuller grip, optional cover panels can easily be added to increase width.

The length provides more barrel coverage than the factory handguard to prevent shooter contact with a hot barrel during extended firing sessions and mounts on a three-point connection system.

"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.”

Made of aircraft-grade aluminum, the XS Lever-HG for the S&W Model 1854 is lightweight while preserving durability. This handguard fits the.44 Magnum caliber rifle with 19.25” barrel. Models to fit additional chamberings and barrel lengths will be introduced in the months ahead.

Specs for XS Lever-HG for S&W Model 1854 .44 Mag with 19.25” barrel:

  • Length: 17”                  
  • Width: 1.1875”            
  • Height: 2”
  • Weight: 9.6 oz.
