XS Sights Introduces Lever Rail for S&W Model 1854 .44 MAG Lever-Action Rifle

Monday, November 3rd, 2025

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

XS sights are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The company also offers a 12-year illumination warranty on all tritium products. For more information, visit www.xssights.com.

UNITY Adds New Version of CTM and Switches with Long Laser Cables

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025

CTM™ Now Available for iRay RH25 and Long Laser Cables for AXON™ and AXON™ SL

Broussard, LA. (Oct. 22, 2025) – UNITY Tactical®, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, is releasing a new version of its Combat Thermal Mount™ (CTM™) specifically for the iRay RH25. It is also expanding its line of AXON™ and AXON™ SL switches to include options with longer laser cables, allowing lasers to be mounted further back on the handguard.

The compact and lightweight CTM for the IRAY RH25 includes all standard features, such as the force-to-overcome mechanism that flips the thermal to the side for stowage. It also comes standard with a FAST™ QD lever, which enables quick detachment and reattachment while maintaining optic co-alignment, allowing the thermal to also function as a handheld imager (HHI). CTM was previously only available for the Trijicon® SkeetIR™x and Pixels on Target™ VooDoo-S™; the three models are not interchangeable.

New AXON and AXON SL variants offer seven-inch light cables and a choice of nine-inch or 13-inch laser cables. Standard single lead AXON SL switches for Crane laser or NGAL laser are also available in nine- or 13-inch lengths. These longer cables provide greater flexibility for users, enabling laser mounting further back, such as on the FAST™ Accessory Riser, while positioning the switch at the front of the handguard.

Both the CTM for the iRay and long laser cables are currently in stock and available for purchase through authorized UNITY dealers and on unitytactical.com.

AUSA 25 – Modular Handgun eXchange, Optional Components for MHS from SIG

Monday, October 20th, 2025

Although the US military selected and fielded its first truly modular pistol, so far they haven’t taken advantage of the possibilities associated with the SIG P320 platform. All that is about to change.

Not long after the contract win SIG put together a custom version of the M18 which I called a SOPMOD pistol at the time. At the time, USSOCOM was keen to move on from their Special Operations Peculiar upgrades to the M4 carbine as it had become an Army common weapon and grated at my appellation. Likewise, the Army hadn’t started fielding yet and wasn’t ready to start making major configuration changes to a pistol that had just adopted.

During AUSA SIG showed three configurations of MHS up for adoption as additional authorized items which they are referring to as Modular Handgun eXchange or “MHX.” Evaluated under the Soldier Enhancement Program, once assigned National Stock Numbers, units will be able to procure the components with O&M dollars like the ROMEOM17 optic authorized in 2023.

The first option is closest to availability and is awaiting assignment of NSNs.

Intended for SOF use, the MHS-SOF takes a rack M18 and incorporates a Brouwer M1811 frame with its integrated flared magwell, flat trigger, safety delete pin to remove the manual safety, threaded barrel for use with a suppressor, and a gas pedal takedown lever, and suppressor height adjustable sights.

The next two options are still undergoing evaluation.

Intended for adoption by units equipped with the M17 or M18, this variant is called the MHS-GFC (General Forces Configuration). It features an improved grip module, Gaspedal takedown pin, and flared magwell.

Here is a shot of the adjustable rear sight.

The last configuration they exhibited is intended for undercover use and named the M18-CC for Concealed Carry.

Like the other options it retains the serialized FCU which is the core of MHS and transforms the pistol into a Black gun more commonly associated with law enforcement. The grip module is available in several size options and is combined with a 3.9″ slide and barrel as well as a flat blade trigger. The 15 round magazine fits flush with aluminum baseplate.

The pistol is also fitted with a compact red dot sight.

We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Forward Controls Design and Revival Defense Expand RF Line with 1×16 LH A1 Variants

Friday, October 10th, 2025

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.
