Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There's something satisfying about a lever gun in .45-70, and Smith & Wesson clearly did their homework with the Model 1854. This stainless and synthetic version is the one you grab when the weather report looks ugly and the hunt is happening anyway. The forged 416 stainless steel receiver and 410 stainless 20-inch barrel shrug off rain and snow, while the fixed black synthetic stock with textured grip panels won't swell, crack, or complain the way wood can. At around 7 pounds unloaded, it carries well through timber all day.
S&W didn't just build a nostalgia piece here. The muzzle comes threaded 11/16×24 with a protector installed, so adding a suppressor or brake is simple. Up top, a 5.75-inch Picatinny rail handles your scope or red dot, and if you'd rather run irons, the adjustable XS ghost ring rear paired with a gold bead front is a genuinely fast, usable sight setup. The forend carries three M-LOK slots for a light or bipod, and sling swivel bases come standard front and rear.
The large loop lever gives you plenty of room to cycle the action with gloves on, and the action itself runs smooth right out of the box, which matters when a quick follow-up shot is the difference between filling a tag and telling a story. The flat-faced trigger encourages consistent finger placement, and a cross-bolt safety adds a straightforward layer of control. Feeding from a 6-round tube, you've got 6+1 of .45-70 on board, which is more than enough thump for black bear, elk, hogs, or whitetail in thick cover.
The .45-70 Government has been dropping big animals since the 1870s, and this platform gives that old warhorse cartridge a modern home. If you want one rifle that handles brush-country hunting, backwoods carry, and range days without babying, this stainless 1854 makes a strong case for itself.
Yes. The 20-inch barrel comes threaded from the factory with an 11/16×24 thread pattern and ships with a thread protector installed. Keep in mind that pitch is less common than 5/8×24, so you may need a thread adapter depending on your suppressor or muzzle device.
Absolutely. The receiver wears a 5.75-inch Picatinny rail right out of the box, so mounting a scope or red dot takes nothing more than rings or a mount. If you prefer irons, the adjustable XS ghost ring rear and gold bead front are quick to pick up and work great in the woods.
The .45-70 is a proven big game round with well over a century of field results behind it. From this 20-inch barrel it handles whitetail, hogs, black bear, and elk at practical woods ranges, and heavier loads are up to even larger game. It shines in thick brush and timber where shots come inside 200 yards.
This is the configuration built for it. The forged 416 stainless receiver and 410 stainless barrel resist rust and corrosion, while the synthetic stock is immune to the swelling and warping that can affect wood in wet conditions. It's a solid pick for late-season hunts, coastal environments, or anywhere a rifle earns its keep in the elements.
