Smith & Wesson Model 1854 “Stealth Hunter” .44 Mag Lever-Action Rifle – 16.3" Armornite Barrel, Midwest Industries Skeleton Stock, First-Year 2025 Production
The first production year of Smith & Wesson’s modern lever gun, this custom Model 1854 Stealth Hunter pairs factory 2025 components with a purpose-built Midwest Industries modular skeleton stock. Chambered in .44 Remington Magnum and finished in matte black Armornite over stainless steel, it delivers a suppressor-ready 16.3-inch threaded barrel, an 8-round side-gate magazine, and a 10-inch Picatinny rail for easy optics mounting. Clean, lightly used condition and thoughtful upgrades make this rifle a standout choice for hunters, suppressor owners, and collectors tracking the inaugural LLE-prefix run.

What’s Included
• Original Smith & Wesson factory box
Large-loop lever and cross-bolt safety keep operation intuitive while accommodating gloved hands. The removable magazine tube allows the rifle to be safely unloaded without cycling rounds—ideal for range days and field use.
The factory 16.3-inch 410 stainless steel barrel sports suppressor-ready 11/16x24 TPI threads and Armornite coating for corrosion resistance. A green HIVIZ H3 fiber-optic front sight aligns with an XS ghost-ring rear, both sitting low enough to co-witness under most optics.
The aftermarket Midwest Industries 6061-T6 aluminum skeleton stock drops weight, adds an adjustable cheek bar, and integrates dual shell carriers for two extra rounds on board. A rubber butt-pad manages .44 Mag recoil, and multiple QD sockets simplify sling setup.
Up front, the 10-inch M-LOK handguard and full-length top rail provide ample real estate for lights, grips, and optics. Stainless receiver, flat-face single-stage trigger, and 1-in-20 RH twist rate round out a feature set tailored for modern lever-gun utility.
