Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Walnut Stock .44 Remington Mag Blue Lever Action Rifle

A: Hi Matthew, yes sir, this will also shoot .44 special. 44 Special cartridge cases are shorter than 44 Rem. Magnum cases. Use of 44 Special ammunition in this rifle can cause a buildup at the front of the chamber. Thoroughly clean the chamber area with a brush and gun-cleaning solvent after using 44 Special ammunition to avoid extraction issues when next firing 44 Rem. Magnum. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Hi Matthew and welcome. Yes, this will shoot .44 Special no issue. Same concept as a .357 Magnum being able to fire the shorter .38 Special. A particular length chamber can fire that length or shorter shells. Cheers and stay safe!

A: yes you can shoot 44 special with no problems

A: I'd suggest watching this very informative comparison video between the two on YouTube. https://youtu.be/0zk_1a1mc3c?si=plxTZfMqn_Qc45qV

A: between those I would chose the Marlin (ruger) but in my opinion the Henry beats them both at a lower price Buds has a incorrect picture for the henry its the large loop for the standard use model number H012G you can see better pics here at the henry site<br /> https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/big-boy-steel-rifle-carbine/<br /> https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/128839/henry+big+boy+side+gate+44+mag+20+large+loop+10+1

A: Hi Phil and welcome. Personally, I would choose the Marlin. Slightly better build quality, smoother action and is known for reliability. Cheers and stay safe! Either works but Marlin just does lever rifles a bit better.

A: Hi Steve and welcome. Yes, this model has a picatinny rail for optics/scope mounting. Example of direct fit picatinny scope rings here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/178063/utg+rg2w1154+medium+profile+scope+rings+1+tube+picatinny --- Cheers and stay safe!

A: Hi Steve, yes sir this is drilled & tapped. It comes with a picatinny rail, but the rail can be removed and it accepts mounts compatible with Marlin 1894 hole pattern. Stay safe & have a great day!
