Smith & Wesson 1854 45 Colt Rifle (9-Round)

Smith & Wesson 1854 headlines the specification sheet for this platform. Factory literature categorizes it as a sporting rifle, which frames expectations for handling and use. Factory chambered in 45 Colt, built around a lever action with a 9-Round round capacity to keep performance predictable from shot to shot. Dimensional notes call out a barrel length of 19.25" / 19.25'' in and overall length measuring 36" in, helping you plan cases and storage. Unloaded weight settles near 7.10 lbs / 6.8 lbs, which influences recoil management and carry options. Furniture is trimmed in synthetic / walnut with a wood finish, giving the rifle its classic profile. Metalwork wears a stainless treatment, pairing durability with period-correct styling. Stock appointments include factory checkering for extra purchase and a fitted recoil pad. Overall dimensions ship at 3.45 X 10.50 X 42.25, so plan case and safe clearance accordingly. Magazine stays fixed to the rifle, so reload plans should account for gate or tube feeds. Without a hinged floorplate you will cycle rounds out manually when clearing the rifle.
