Description
Lever guns have been getting a second wind lately, and the Citadel LEVTAC-92 is a big reason why. At its heart this is a Model 92 pattern rifle, the same slick short-throw action that has been cycling pistol cartridges for well over a century. Citadel builds on that foundation with the stuff today's shooters expect: a free-floated aluminum M-LOK forend in place of the usual wood, a Picatinny rail up top for a red dot or scout scope, and an 18 inch blued barrel threaded .578×28 so you can spin on a brake or suppressor. Shooting .45 Long Colt through a can on a lever gun is about as pleasant as range time gets.
Classic 92 Action, Modern LEVTAC Touches
The oversized loop lever is easy to run with gloves on and gives the rifle that unmistakable look, while the fixed black synthetic stock shrugs off weather and rough handling better than walnut ever will. Sights are handled by an adjustable rear peep paired with a blade front, a fast and forgiving setup that works well on its own if you never get around to mounting glass. The 8-round tubular magazine feeds through a side loading gate, so you can top off as you go without taking the rifle out of action.
Where the LEVTAC-92 Earns Its Keep
At 35.5 inches overall, this is a handy, quick-pointing carbine that makes a lot of sense as a brush gun, a ranch rifle, or a truck companion. The .45 Long Colt chambering hits plenty hard on hogs and deer at woods distances, recoils gently out of a rifle-length barrel, and pairs nicely with a revolver in the same caliber if you like keeping your ammo simple. It is also just a great time on steel and paper. Built in Brazil and imported under the Citadel name by Legacy Sports International, the LEVTAC-92 gives you old-school lever gun charm with room to bolt on the modern gear you already own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put a suppressor on the Citadel LEVTAC-92?
Yes, the muzzle comes threaded in a .578×28 pattern, which is the common standard for .45 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Paired with the naturally mild .45 Long Colt cartridge out of an 18 inch barrel, this is one of the more enjoyable suppressor hosts out there. Just make sure any device you buy matches that thread pitch.
What kind of optics can I mount on the LEVTAC-92?
The receiver-mounted Picatinny rail handles most red dots and scout-style scopes without any gunsmithing. A compact red dot is a popular choice since it keeps the rifle fast-handling and light. If you'd rather skip optics entirely, the adjustable rear peep and blade front sights work well on their own.
Is the LEVTAC-92 a good hunting rifle?
Within its range, absolutely. The .45 Long Colt out of a rifle barrel picks up meaningful velocity over a revolver and is well suited for deer and hogs at typical woods distances, generally inside 100 yards or so. Its compact 35.5 inch overall length and light weight also make it easy to carry all day or maneuver in a blind or thick cover.
Does the Citadel LEVTAC-92 load from the side or the tube?
It uses a traditional side loading gate on the receiver, so you feed rounds directly into the 8-round magazine tube one at a time. That also means you can top off the magazine whenever you like without running the gun dry. It's the same proven system the Model 92 platform has used for generations.
