The Midwest Industries 1895/X5 Optic Rail Shell Holder does two jobs at once, and it does them well. On top you get a full Picatinny surface for mounting any red dot, LPVO, or scope rings you like, and along the side you get onboard storage for spare cartridges. For anyone running a Marlin or Henry lever gun in 30-30 or 45-70, it turns your receiver into an all-in-one setup without adding a bunch of bulky hardware.
The rail itself is machined from hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum, so it holds up to real recoil and shrugs off weather in the field. It measures 6 inches long and tips the scale right around 4.1 ounces, so it adds capability without weighing your gun down. The finish is a clean matte black that blends in nicely with most factory bluing and Cerakote. A thoughtful touch: the nylon-tipped stainless steel set screws grip the receiver firmly while protecting the finish from marring or side impacts. Mounting hardware comes in the box, and the whole thing carries a lifetime warranty backed by a company that machines its parts right here in the USA.
When you don't have glass mounted, a channel cut through the rail lets you keep using the rifle's factory iron sights, so you're never locked into one setup. Drop an optic on when you want reach, pull it and run irons when you want to keep things simple. That flexibility is a big part of why this rail earns its place on a hunting or brush gun.
The kit ships with three MI-USH universal shell holders that hold up to six rounds total. They can be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on how you like your reloads staged, which makes topping off the tube quick whether you're on the stand or working steel at the range. Having your next few rounds riding right on the gun is one of those upgrades you don't appreciate until you've used it.
This model is built for Marlin and Henry lever guns chambered in 30-30 and 45-70. It uses the receiver's existing mounting holes and bolts on with the included hardware. If you're running a different chambering like 38/357, 44 Mag, or 45 Colt, Midwest makes the 1894/X4 version for those receivers instead.
Yes. There's a channel cut through the rail that lets you see and use the rifle's factory iron sights when no optic is mounted. That means you can run glass when you want it and go back to irons without pulling the rail off.
The kit comes with three MI-USH universal shell holders that hold up to six rounds total. They can be set vertically or horizontally to match how you prefer to stage your reloads. Keeping spare rounds on the gun makes topping off the tube a lot faster in the field.
The set screws are nylon-tipped stainless steel, so they bite down securely while protecting the finish on the side of your receiver. A common tip from folks who mount these is to snug the screws down firmly and consider a thread locker if you never plan to remove the rail, which keeps everything rock solid under heavy recoil.
