MARYVILLE, TN., (7/14/2026) – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, announces today the launch of its America 250 Limited Edition Model 1854 rifle, created to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States.
In 1854, Smith & Wesson founders Horace Smith & Daniel Wesson patented their first lever gun and, to honor that historic milestone, the Model 1854 Series was born. Designed to embody the feel of Smith & Wesson’s revered large-frame revolvers and their smooth action, this rifle series delivers a platform built on craftsmanship, reliability, and performance.
Starting today, you can own one of these exclusive lever-action rifles featuring exceptionally detailed engravings, available in either .44 Magnum or the time-honored .45-70 Government cartridge. Both limited-edition rifles include a traditional walnut stock and forend, a stainless-steel Armornite®-finished barrel and receiver, a Picatinny base for mounting your preferred optics, an adjustable XS Sights® ghost ring rear sight, and a gold bead front sight. The .44 Magnum model boasts a 9+1 capacity, a removable magazine tube, and a 19.25-inch barrel. The long-action option, the .45-70 rifle, has a 6+1 capacity and a 20-inch barrel. Finally, both models are equipped with a modern flat-face trigger, a large loop lever, a side loading gate, and a 11/16-24 thread pattern for suppressor use.
The America 250 Limited Edition Model 1854 – blending timeless American craftsmanship with modern performance – pays homage to the spirit of independence, ingenuity, and perseverance that has defined the nation since 1776. For more information, visit www.smith-wesson.com.
