Smith & Wesson Model 1854 America 250 Limited Edition – .44 Magnum, 9+1 (14969)

Smith & Wesson built this one to honor America's 250th birthday, and they started from the right rifle. The Model 1854 is S&W's modern lever action — a forged 416 stainless receiver and a 19.25" threaded stainless barrel, both finished in Armornite, with walnut furniture, an XS Sights adjustable ghost ring rear, and a Picatinny rail already on it. The America 250 adds a laser-engraved receiver. 9+1 rounds of .44 Magnum. S&W SKU 14969, UPC 022188909760.

A Commemorative You Can Actually Hunt With

Most commemoratives are safe queens because they're built as safe queens. This one is a working stainless lever gun that happens to be engraved. Armornite finish on both receiver and barrel means weather doesn't worry it. The threaded muzzle means you can suppress it. The Picatinny rail means you can scope it. Nothing about the commemorative treatment stops you from carrying it in the woods.

Sights and Optics, Both Covered

A gold bead front and an XS Sights adjustable ghost ring rear — the ghost ring is the fastest iron sight system there is for a lever gun, and XS makes the good ones. If you'd rather run glass, the receiver carries a Picatinny rail from the factory.
