Smith & Wesson Model 1854 45 Colt Lever-Action Rifle
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 45 Colt combines the timeless appeal of a lever-action rifle with modern construction, optics capability and accessory compatibility. Chambered in the historic .45 Colt cartridge, this configuration pairs stainless steel components with durable black synthetic furniture.
The rifle features a 19.25-inch threaded barrel, 9+1 capacity, forged stainless steel receiver, adjustable XS ghost ring rear sight, gold bead front sight and Picatinny optics rail, creating a distinctly modern interpretation of the classic lever gun.
.45 Colt Chambering
The Model 1854 is chambered in .45 Colt, a cartridge with roots dating back to the 19th century that remains popular with lever-action enthusiasts today.
Pairing this traditional cartridge with Smith & Wesson’s contemporary Model 1854 platform creates an appealing combination of classic chambering and modern rifle design.
19.25-Inch Stainless Steel Barrel
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 45 Colt features a 19.25-inch 410 stainless steel barrel.
The barrel length helps maintain the rifle’s handy proportions while providing the balance and sight radius expected from a versatile pistol-caliber lever-action rifle.
Threaded 11/16×24 Muzzle
The stainless steel barrel features a threaded 11/16×24 muzzle, providing compatibility with appropriate muzzle devices.
Factory muzzle threading is one of several contemporary features that distinguish the Model 1854 from more traditionally configured lever-action rifles.
9+1 Round Capacity
The Model 1854 uses a tubular magazine that provides a 9+1 round capacity with .45 Colt ammunition.
The magazine tube can also be removed for convenient unloading without requiring every cartridge to be cycled through the rifle’s action.
Forged Stainless Steel Receiver
A durable forged stainless steel receiver provides the foundation for the Model 1854.
The stainless construction complements the barrel while providing the strength required for the rifle’s lever-action operating system and modern accessory configuration.
Black Synthetic Furniture
This Smith & Wesson Model 1854 45 Colt configuration uses rugged black synthetic furniture rather than traditional wood.
Textured gripping surfaces provide additional traction, while the synthetic construction creates a practical, weather-resistant alternative to traditional walnut furniture.
M-LOK Accessory Slots
The synthetic fore-end incorporates M-LOK accessory slots, adding modern mounting capability without compromising the streamlined profile of the rifle.
This provides convenient attachment points for compatible accessories and further distinguishes the stainless and synthetic Model 1854 from traditional lever-action designs.
XS Ghost Ring and Gold Bead Sights
The Model 1854 comes equipped with an adjustable XS Sights ghost ring rear sight paired with a gold bead front sight.
This sighting arrangement provides a highly visible, straightforward iron-sight system while retaining the quick-handling characteristics associated with a lever-action rifle.
Picatinny Optics Rail
A factory-installed Picatinny optics rail sits atop the receiver, allowing compatible scopes and red dot sights to be mounted directly to the rifle.
The combination of factory iron sights and optics capability allows owners to configure the Model 1854 around their preferred sighting system.
Large-Loop Lever and Flat-Face Trigger
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 features a large-loop lever and flat-face trigger, giving the rifle a distinctive combination of traditional operation and contemporary design.
A crossbolt safety is also integrated into the rifle, providing a straightforward manual safety system.
Modern .45 Colt Lever-Action Rifle
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 45 Colt delivers a modern approach to the lever-action platform with stainless construction, synthetic furniture, factory optics capability, M-LOK mounting points and a threaded barrel.
For shooters looking for a .45 Colt lever-action rifle that combines traditional operation with contemporary features and materials, the Model 1854 offers a distinctive alternative to conventional wood-stocked lever guns.
