The Midwest Industries Henry Handguard M-LOK for 45-70 rifles is a purpose-built accessory rail system designed to modernize your classic lever-action without sacrificing its character. Built from hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum, this handguard adds rails and tactical mounting options while keeping weight minimal at 15.5 ounces—a consideration that matters on a rifle you might carry all day. The slim, lightweight profile maintains the natural feel of a Henry while the rigid construction ensures zero slop and repeatable accessory placement.

M-LOK attachment means you can customize how you set up your 45-70. The handguard ships with one 5-slot M-LOK rail section and features a full 16 inches of top Picatinny rail for mounting lights, lasers, or other accessories where they belong. The forward-mounted sling swivel point accepts conventional hunting slings, keeping your setup traditional where it counts. This is the kind of rail system that lets you build a practical, modern hunting rifle without the plastic-fantastic feel of an AR.

A critical note before you order: this handguard is engineered for Henry rifles with round barrels and integral front sights. It is not compatible with octagon barrels or firearms with dovetail-mounted front sights. Verify your Henry's barrel profile before purchasing. Midwest Industries includes their sight adjustment tool with every handguard, and the entire assembly is made in the USA with a lifetime warranty backing your investment.
