Smith & Wesson Model 1854 .44 Rem Mag Lever-Action Rifle

Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Lever-Action Rifle

The Model 1854 represents a modern interpretation of the classic American lever-action rifle, chambered in the potent .44 Remington Magnum cartridge. This is a serious hunting and defensive rifle built on proven mechanics.

Design and Construction

The receiver is machined from forged 416 stainless steel and finished with Armornite coating for superior corrosion resistance. The 19.25-inch barrel is stainless steel with matching Armornite finish, threaded 11/16-24 for suppressor compatibility, and includes a thread protector. The rifle features a large loop operating lever for smooth, reliable cycling and gloved operation.

Ergonomics and Handling

Walnut furniture with textured grip panels provides a traditional aesthetic combined with practical handling. The cross-bolt manual safety is intuitive and accessible. Overall length is 36 inches with a manageable weight of 7.1 pounds, making this rifle suitable for extended field use.

Sighting Systems

The rifle ships with a gold bead front sight and XS Sights ghost ring rear sight (adjustable), providing excellent sight picture for hunting and tactical applications. An integrated Picatinny rail accommodates modern optics, and the receiver accepts mounts compatible with Marlin 1894 hole patterns for maximum accessory flexibility.

Capacity and Performance

Nine-round magazine capacity delivers sufficient firepower for hunting medium to large game. The 1:20-inch right-hand twist with 8-groove rifling is optimized for .44 Magnum ballistics.

This is a used rifle in excellent working condition, offering classic lever-action reliability with modern materials and features.
