Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Stainless/Synthetic .44 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle — 19.25" Threaded Barrel, 9+1 Capacity
The Model 1854 marks Smith & Wesson’s return to lever-action rifles for the first time since the 1800s. Built on a bead-blasted stainless-steel receiver with a rugged polymer stock and forend, this modern take on the classic platform pairs corrosion resistance with fast handling. A threaded 19.25" barrel, large-loop lever, and optics-ready top rail make it a versatile choice for hunters, ranchers, and enthusiasts who want a hard-running .44 Magnum that leaves nothing to chance.

Smith & Wesson machines the receiver and barrel from 416 stainless steel for maximum strength and weather resistance, then finishes them with a non-reflective bead-blasted surface that stands up to hard use.
The 19.25" barrel features 11/16-24 TPI threads for suppressors or muzzle devices and a 1:20 RH twist optimized for heavy .44 Magnum projectiles. Tool-less removal of the magazine tube simplifies loading, unloading, and maintenance.
A 4.75" optics rail tops the receiver, which is drilled and tapped on the popular Marlin 1894 hole pattern for flexible sight and optic choices. Out of the box, shooters get a gold-bead front sight and an XS ghost-ring rear aperture for fast target acquisition.
The glass-filled polymer stock and forend keep weight down while adding durability. Textured grip panels and a recoil pad aid control, and an M-LOK slot on the forend lets you attach accessories without extra bulk.
With its 9-round tubular magazine, large-loop lever, flat-face trigger, and dual safety system (cross-bolt plus half-cock notch), the Model 1854 blends heritage styling with modern functionality—delivering reliable big-bore performance in a compact 36" package.
