Look no further than the Citadel Levtac-92 rifle, a revolutionary take on the enduring Model 92 lever-action platform. This full-size, right-hand firearm, chambered in the highly adaptable .357 Magnum, offers a compelling blend of tradition and innovation designed to meet the demands of today's shooter.

Why Choose a Modern Lever-Action Rifle Like the Levtac-92?

For generations, lever-action rifles have been celebrated for their reliability, swift action, and distinctive aesthetics. The Citadel Levtac-92 builds on this heritage by integrating modern features that significantly enhance its utility and performance. Unlike traditional lever guns that might feel limited in a contemporary context, the Levtac-92 provides the best of both worlds: the robust, proven mechanics of a lever action combined with the modularity and accessory readiness expected from modern sporting rifles.

This rifle is ideal for individuals who value:

• Rapid Target Acquisition: The lever-action mechanism allows for quick follow-up shots, making it effective for various scenarios.
• Compact Maneuverability: With its 16.50" barrel, the Levtac-92 is highly maneuverable in tight spaces, whether navigating dense brush or moving through a home environment.
• Time-Tested Reliability: The Model 92 action is renowned for its durability and consistent performance in diverse conditions.
• Distinctive Style: Owning a lever-action firearm offers a unique shooting experience and a nod to a storied past, while the Levtac-92's modern features give it a tactical edge.

Unlocking Versatility: The Power of the .357 Magnum Caliber

One of the standout features of the Citadel Levtac-92 is its chambering in .357 Magnum. This isn't just a powerful pistol cartridge; when fired from a rifle-length barrel, the .357 Magnum truly shines, delivering significantly increased velocity, energy, and flatter trajectories compared to handgun applications. This makes it an incredibly versatile caliber for several reasons:

• Dual Caliber Compatibility: The Levtac-92 can also reliably chamber and fire the more economical and milder .38 Special ammunition. This allows for cost-effective practice sessions at the range, reducing recoil and making it an excellent choice for new shooters or extended plinking sessions, while still having the power of .357 Magnum available for more demanding tasks.
• Effective for Hunting: For small to medium-sized game like deer, hogs, or coyotes, the .357 Magnum out of a carbine is highly effective at appropriate ranges, offering ample stopping power.
• Potent for Home Defense: The combination of manageable recoil (especially with .38 Special), respectable capacity, and the stopping power of .357 Magnum makes this rifle a formidable tool for personal and home defense. The reduced over-penetration risk compared to many common rifle calibers in a home environment is also a significant consideration for many users.

Key Features That Set the Citadel Levtac-92 Apart

The Citadel Levtac-92 is not just a lever-action rifle; it's a meticulously designed platform built for performance and adaptability. Here’s a closer look at its innovative features:

• M-LOK Forend for Unmatched Modularity: The integrated M-LOK handguard is a game-changer for lever-action rifles. It allows users to easily attach a wide array of accessories, including:
  • Tactical Lights: Essential for low-light conditions, especially in home defense scenarios.
  • Laser Sights: For rapid aiming and target acquisition.
  • Foregrips: Enhancing control and comfort during shooting.
  • Bipods: For stable shooting from a prone or rested position during hunting or target practice.
  This M-LOK system transforms the traditional lever gun into a truly modern and adaptable firearm.
• Threaded Steel Barrel (1/2"-28) for Suppressor Readiness: The 16.50" black steel barrel features a standard 1/2"-28 thread pattern, making it ready to accept a variety of muzzle devices, most notably sound suppressors. This capability significantly reduces muzzle flash and recoil, while also making the rifle much quieter – a major advantage for both recreational shooting and hunting, where preserving hearing is paramount. The ability to run suppressed also enhances the rifle's utility in low-profile or discrete applications.
• Robust Synthetic Stock: The black synthetic fixed stock provides exceptional durability and resistance to the elements. Unlike traditional wood stocks, synthetic materials are impervious to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and impact damage, ensuring your rifle performs consistently in any environment, from humid forests to arid deserts. This robust construction makes it an ideal "truck gun" or a reliable companion for outdoor adventures.
• Picatinny Rail Receiver for Optics Mounting: The black steel receiver is equipped with a Picatinny rail, offering a solid and versatile platform for mounting optics. Whether you prefer a red dot sight for rapid close-quarters engagement, a low-power variable optic (LPVO) for increased precision at medium ranges, or a traditional scope for hunting, the Picatinny rail ensures easy and secure attachment of your preferred sighting system. This significantly enhances the rifle's accuracy and versatility compared to rifles limited to iron sights.
• Efficient Sighting System: The Levtac-92 comes standard with a bladed front sight and a rear peep sight. This combination provides a clear, crisp sight picture that allows for quick and intuitive target acquisition. The peep sight is known for its speed and accuracy, making it an excellent choice for dynamic shooting situations right out of the box.
• Large Lever Loop: The Model 92 large lever loop enhances ergonomics and ease of operation, particularly for shooters wearing gloves or those who prefer a more generous grip. This design facilitates faster cycling of the action, even under stressful conditions.
• 8+1 Capacity: With an 8-round tubular magazine plus one in the chamber, the Levtac-92 offers a practical capacity for various applications without being overly cumbersome. This capacity is ample for most hunting scenarios, recreational shooting, and provides sufficient rounds for home defense.
