Fort Worth, Texas (October 28, 2025) – This newest Lever Rail from XS Sights fits the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 lever-action rifle chambered in .44 Magnum (with a 19.25” barrel) and is built for hunters and shooters who want a modern, flexible, and reliable optic mount while preserving the classic feel of the rifle.

Made of lightweight machined aluminum, this Picatinny-style rail with hard anodized finish provides a rigid, corrosion resistant mounting surface to ensure your optic remains firmly in place whether you are running a conventional riflescope, scout scope, or compact red dot. The Lever Rail is easy to install with common hand tools – no gunsmith required – and allows you to set precise eye relief for a consistent cheek weld.

For shooters who want iron sight redundancy or quick target acquisition at close range, XS offers the Lever Rail with Ghost Ring Sight Set that includes a White Stripe Front. The .191-inch aperture of the Ghost Ring offers a crisp, repeatable sight picture in bright light while still providing usable light transmission at dusk and dawn and is fully adjustable for windage and elevation. The high-contrast White Stripe Front gives a fast index against any background and is bold enough to be useful in brush or on stalks yet refined enough to deliver precision when it counts. The steel sights and aluminum rail are hard anodized for long-term durability and corrosion resistance. All hardware is included and finished to match the rail. The kit ships with a full screw kit, blue threadlocker, an insert with clear instructions, and everything you need for a tidy, repeatable install. No gunsmith required.

“The XS Lever Rail for the 1854 gives modern optics the mounting space needed for optimal performance on this classic platform,” said Jeff King, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “It’s simple, durable, and built to perform in the field whether you’re using optics or our intuitive Ghost Ring with White Stripe Front sight.”

Retail Pricing:  S&W Lever Rail and Ghost Ring Sight Set – $153.74

Forward Controls Design, in collaboration with Revival Defense, has added two new members to the RF family: the 6315RF-A1-LH and 6310RF-A1-LH. Both models are built around the 1×16 LH suppressor standard, bringing A1-style geometry to left-hand threaded suppressor users while preserving the RF series’ compact, dual-role character that defines the line. The RF series has consistently offered practical devices that provide A2-level flash suppression with improved control and reduced ground signature. Earlier models such as the 6315RF and 6310RF feature a closed bottom, mimicking the A2 birdcage to minimize dust signature. The new A1-LH variants depart from that format, incorporating omni-directional porting. Their 360-degree layout provides slightly better flash performance, ensures even dispersion of gasses in all directions, and removes the need for timing during installation.

The A1-LH variants use a 1×16 LH suppressor mount compatible with silencers that feature the integral 1×16 LH mounting system. Examples include CAT QD silencers, the CGS SCI SIX, and the Cobalt Scrambler QD. They can also be adapted for HUB-style silencers using mounts such as the CAT TSFX and AI HUB QD. This approach provides direct compatibility with modern QD suppressor ecosystems without additional adapters.

Both the 6315RF-A1-LH (1/2×28) and 6310RF-A1-LH (5/8×24) are machined from 17-4 PH steel, finished in black nitride, and measure under 1.8 inches in length. Standard wrench flats simplify installation, and a blind hole is included for optional pinning to 16-inch overall builds. Like the rest of the RF line, these products are designed and manufactured in the United States of America.

Availability
The 6315RF-A1-LH and 6310RF-A1-LH are available now through Revival Defense, who partnered with Forward Controls Design on the RF series from its inception. Customers are encouraged to purchase through Revival Defense for immediate stock and shipping.
