The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Traditional expands the brand's modern lever-action lineup into the powerful .45-70 Government cartridge, pairing time-honored heritage styling with contemporary engineering. It features a 20" stainless steel barrel with an Armornite finish and a 1:20" right-hand twist, 8-groove rifling for consistent bullet stabilization on heavier .45-70 loads. A forged 416 stainless steel receiver houses a 6+1 round tubular magazine, with the muzzle threaded 11/16"-24 and fitted with a thread protector for suppressor or muzzle device use. Walnut furniture with textured grip panels gives the rifle a classic look and secure handling, complemented by a large-loop lever for smooth cycling and a flat-faced trigger for a clean, consistent break. Rounded out with a gold bead front sight, adjustable XS Sights ghost ring rear sight, and an extended Picatinny rail for optics, this rifle blends old-school lever-gun charm with genuinely modern hunting capability.
