Here’s another thing, available now only in 44 magnum. Those interested should wait. 6 other chamberings coming soon. Like 30-30, 460 S&W
500! As far as that walnut at that $3500 premium
You would definitely want to have a few in front of you to pick the wood you fancy. But that will never happen. Well going $3500 ( for me) won’t happen either as much as I love it!

I wonder why they picked "1854" for a model number? I get it that many Lever Actions reflect a historical model/date, but the likeness of that Rifle didn't exist back then.
I'd be interested in having one in 500 S&W and 460 for that matter, but not at $3500, not even for both of them.

According to S&W, it was named the Model 1854 because: "In 1854, Smith & Wesson patented their first lever gun, the Volcanic lever-action. Honoring that historic milestone, the classic American lever gun is reborn as the Smith & Wesson 1854 Series"
At $3500 for the wood version is spendy. I'm glad I still have my old Marlins.

I originally responded to this post thinking this was a Winchester rifle . The thought of a S&W lever gun is interesting. For the price I rather buy another Winchester (new or old) or one of the newer Marlins. Actually an 1894 JM cowboy will be my next lever, I hope.

A mirror image of Ruger's new levers with a twist of Henry's forearm markings??
I have an older 1895 in 45/70 and a M39 .22 as well as a few other old Marlins that I've zero interest in removing from the collection....I could about kick myself for all the 336's that I've bought and sold for a couple hundred bucks that now go $700.

I got to handle one today in blue and stainless.
Looks and feels like a 336 with more slender wood. The blued one looked nice, but S&W bluing isn't what it was. Looks almost like the blue Taurus uses

Why .44 and not .357? I'd also like to see a cheaper wood and blued version. Doesn't need to be the very fancy tiger striped walnut, a lower grade of wood is fine, perhaps a laminate. Or maybe just the stainless version with a cerakote finish. I really dislike bright stainless steel on black polymer. I do very much like the single MLOK slots on the forend. That is they way to do it, not every gun needs MLOK slots all over the forend like an AR. One or two slots at 2,6 and 9 o'clock for sling studs and bipod is sufficient. Henry got this right too.

How much were they asking for it?

I saw it at Shot Show. No retail price.
If you want to spend really stupid money, they have a set with a rifle and a Model 29 revolver that is a limited run.

Possibly, If their intentions were to mark the anniversary of when they first patented their 1854 lever gun , the “Volcanic “ I would have rather they produced something with that particular design in mind instead of just another cookie cutter lever gun. Especially for the $3500 price tag

Winchester has new .22 Rangers out also. The receivers split into two pieces for cleaning or compact carrying maybe?
