Truetotheend,
What a neat rifle, does the stock mitigate recoil at all? I won an 1895 but swapped for a .357 mare’s leg as I didn’t have much use for 45/70. Do you find the current harware as smooth as bare wood? I shoot a traditional 1894 at cowboy and find it to be so smooth coming to shoulder and cycling.

IanC,
Ive only shot it with the original checkered plastic pistol grips. The buttstock does mitigate recoil a bit, but not an extremely noticeable amount. I made the walnut grips last weekend, and they have a nice slight palm swell compared to the original plastic ones. Everything, the wood pieces, is smooth and that was the plan to have it still feel like a tradition wood stock in the hand. Also have a nicer more contoured cheek piece made out of walnut but haven't quite finished it, so just used an extra mlok slot cover for the time being. And I also have a Ranger precision lever but that little old original one just cycles and fits a bare hand so nicely. Of course with a set of gloves the extra space from the oval shape may be beneficial.

Nice…very nice. Will be getting the 300 this year.
Yes they fit
Check out Tommy Enterprise. It's mostly 3D printed stuff and I can't speak to the quality but I know he has some stuff that may fit the bill.
You could also try the magpul forend. It's pretty light. Does your rifle use the barrel band to retain the handguard or is a tennon and cap?
It's this one with the WWG light mount.
Cap and tennon. The Magpul should fit. You can see it on my Rossi 95 and S&W in the earlier posts. Heck, if you are not looking a super tactical one, the OEM S&W should fit as the 1854 is a 1895 pattern and uses the same sized stock and handguard.
It's the og assault rifle man

Not sure why they were hating on the levers like that…
Very cool! 1854? Love the MI stock.

TERMINATORNice blaster. I had a Mares leg like 10 years ago, I can't remember what make it was but it was fun to shoot, certianly a novelity, but honestly, to me most of my lever guns are.
Keep the big loop, seeing as this is a side gate, you can spin #### it!
My most novelity lever gun,
