Features
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 chambered in 45-70 Govt delivers increased power, strong energy, and versatile performance in a platform shaped by more than a century of firearm craftsmanship. This lever-action design blends traditional styling with modern engineering, emphasizing smooth operation and dependable function. A forged 416 stainless steel receiver and stainless steel barrel treated with an Armornite finish form a durable foundation, while the 20 inch barrel uses a 1:20 right-hand twist with an 8-groove profile for consistent stabilization. The muzzle is threaded 11/16-24 and includes a thread protector for compatible accessories.
Walnut furniture with textured grip panels offers a classic look and solid handling. A flat trigger provides consistent finger placement with a clean break, supporting accurate shot placement. The large loop lever increases surface area for confident cycling in gloved or ungloved conditions, and the action is tuned for smooth operation to enable quick follow-up shots. The platform holds a 6+1 capacity and incorporates a cross-bolt manual safety.
For sighting performance, the Model 1854 includes an adjustable XS ghost ring rear sight paired with a gold bead front sight, delivering a fast, clear sight picture. The overall system creates a refined 45-70 lever-action rifle that merges established heritage with modern capability.
