Key Features
- M-LOK Forend — Why it matters: You can mount lights, lasers, or grips without gunsmith work, making this rifle ready for home defense or range use right away.
- Threaded Muzzle — Why it matters: Attach a suppressor or compensator easily for quieter shooting or reduced recoil, which is especially nice with .45 Long Colt loads.
- Elevated Optics Rail — Why it matters: Mount a red dot or low-power scope for faster target acquisition, while still allowing use of the factory iron sights as a backup.
- Peep Rear and Blade Front Sights — Why it matters: These simple, rugged sights give you a reliable aiming option even if your optic fails, and they’re great for quick shots at close range.
- Fixed Synthetic Stock — Why it matters: The black synthetic stock stands up to weather and bumps without warping, and it keeps the rifle lightweight for carrying all day.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who wants a lever-action that doesn’t look or feel like it’s stuck in 1890. It’s for the home defender who wants a soft-shooting .45 Colt round with modern attachments. It’s for the cowboy action shooter who wants to try something different, and for the new gun owner who wants a simple, reliable firearm that’s easy to learn on.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Smooth lever action, M-LOK and optic-ready out of the box, threaded barrel, 8-round capacity gives you plenty of firepower, .45 Long Colt is a proven stopper round with mild recoil.
- Cons: The synthetic stock and forend lack the warm wood look some traditionalists prefer, and the lever action can be a bit stiff until you run a couple hundred rounds through it. Also, .45 Long Colt ammunition is pricier than 9mm or .22 LR.

FAQ
Is the Citadel LEVTAC-92 accurate for hunting?
Yes, with good .45 Long Colt ammunition, you can expect 2–3 inch groups at 50 yards from a rest. That’s plenty for deer or hogs inside 75 yards, especially with a low-power scope mounted on the included rail.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
Absolutely. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, which is common for .45 caliber suppressors. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for .45 Colt pressures, and you’re good to go.
Will this rifle cycle .45 Colt +P loads?
Per Citadel specs, the LEVTAC-92 is designed for standard-pressure .45 Long Colt ammunition. While it may handle +P loads, we recommend sticking to factory standard loads for reliability and to avoid excessive wear.
What is the barrel length?
This model has a 16.5-inch barrel, which keeps the overall length short enough for easy maneuvering in tight spaces while still giving good velocity with .45 Colt rounds.
