The Model 1854 arrives from the factory with the bare essentials: an owner&#8217;s manual, a pre-installed Picatinny rail, and a gun lock.&nbsp;It&#8217;s a minimalist approach, but&nbsp;truly, all you require besides&nbsp;a couple of boxes of ammunition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3806-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Smith &amp; Wesson rifle unboxing\" class=\"wp-image-201784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3806-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3806-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3806-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3806-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3806.jpg 1407w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Model 1854 and all included accessories<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-barrel\">Barrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This 19.25&#8243; 410 stainless steel barrel shot well and features 11\/16\u201d-24 threads for using other muzzle brakes or suppressors.

Utilizing a threaded barrel&nbsp;really&nbsp;helps bring a lever gun into the modern era, and shooting one suppressed was a great experience.&nbsp;I will say&nbsp;the added forward weight made the Model 1854 a little front-heavy, but this is the case for any suppressed rifle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3807-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Model 1854 barrel threads next to a chopped wood with visible rings\" class=\"wp-image-201785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3807-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3807-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3807-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3807-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3807.jpg 1449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Barrel featuring 11\/16&#8243;-24 threads and thread protector<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I found that some muzzle brakes may block the removable magazine tube.

The slack is clean, and the wall is well-defined. Pulling past it, the rifle I received has the tinniest slip of creep before breaking, but this is hardly noticeable. I measured the trigger weight to break at 3.75 lbs consistently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3819-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Smith &amp; Wesson flat-faced trigger\" class=\"wp-image-201793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3819-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3819-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3819-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3819-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3819.jpg 1497w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Smith &amp; Wesson Model 1854 flat-faced trigger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The trigger guard is large to allow for use with gloves, and even the loop is enlarged for quicker weapon manipulations. One thing I found interesting is that there is forward spring pressure on the trigger except for past the wall once fired. This means that it kinda flops around with or without the hammer cocked.

I proceeded to shoot 3-round groups from 50 yards. I got multiple sub-inch groups with Hornady 200gr XTP which seems reasonable for a rifle chambered in 44 Magnum.

Everything ran as it was designed to do. The rubber butt pad made shooting 300gr Hornady leisurely. Also, the aggressive texturing on the polymer furniture made it easy to run this lever gun quick with a solid grip. The action is smooth, and I even shot 10 rounds in 5.5 seconds getting all hits on steel at 20 yards. For those who want to see this lever gun in action, I posted a short video to my Instagram page below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C6O49jKL50k\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

If the gun is turned to the right, the shell you are trying to load may bind up, or fall out completely when working the operating lever. While I don&#8217;t have much lever action experience, I don&#8217;t think this is unique to the Model 1854.&nbsp;I think this is more of a downside of lever guns in general. This makes unconventional positions such as lying on the ground shooting through a port in a VTAC board more tricky. However, if the gun is kept with the ejection port facing either to the side or towards the sky I didn&#8217;t have this problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3822-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Shooter firing a Smith &amp; Wesson lever-action rifle outside\" class=\"wp-image-201796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3822-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3822-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3822-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3822-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3822-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3822.jpg 1768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shooting from some challenging positions using a VTAC board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My only other hiccup was that the Picatinny rail worked itself loose on me.

It maintains the slim and lightweight profile lever guns are known for, while incorporating a Picatinny rail, threaded barrel, M-LOK slots, and aggressive texturing on its polymer furniture. This lever gun ran great throughout my testing and handled 200-300gr ammunition with ease. It ran well suppressed, and I might subjectively add it has a very good balance and feel to it. Coming in with an MSRP of $1279, and a street price of around $1179, this is going to be a solid contender in the modern lever action market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"smith-amp-wesson-model-1854-review-a-modern-take-on-an-american-classic\" title=\"Smith &amp;
