Key Features
- Lever-Action Model 92 Action — WHY IT MATTERS: This proven design cycles smoothly, so new shooters can work the lever without fumbling. The large loop fits gloved hands or small fingers.

- Modular M-LOK Forend with Picatinny Rail — WHY IT MATTERS: Mount a light or laser for low-light turkey hunting or home defense. The rail sits on top for red dot sights, making target acquisition faster for beginners.
- External Hammer/Striker — WHY IT MATTERS: Gives you a visible safety check — you can see and feel if the gun is cocked. Great for teaching safe handling to kids and new shooters.
- Three Included Chokes — WHY IT MATTERS: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder let you dial in patterns for clays, upland birds, or small game without buying extra parts.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for families who want a low-recoil option that still feels like a real firearm. Youth shooters (ages 10-15) can handle the .410 gauge easily, while parents appreciate the lever-action safety. Beginners will love the simple manual of arms — no safety buttons to hunt for. It’s also a great choice for cowboy action shooting enthusiasts who want a lighter alternative to 12-gauge.

FAQ
What shells does the Citadel Levtac .410 take?
It is designed for 2.5-inch .410 gauge shells only. Do not use 3-inch shells — they will not fit the chamber and could cause damage.
Can I mount a red dot sight on this shotgun?
Yes. The Picatinny rail on top of the M-LOK forend allows you to attach a red dot, reflex sight, or mini scope. The rail is 8 inches long, giving you plenty of space.
Is this shotgun legal for hunting?
In most states, yes. .410 gauge is legal for small game, upland birds, and turkeys in many areas. Check your local regulations — some states require a minimum 20-gauge for certain species.
How do I clean the aluminum barrel?
Use standard gun cleaning solvents and a .410 bore brush. The aluminum barrel won’t rust, but avoid harsh ammonia-based cleaners that can pit the finish.
