Citadel Levtac-92 In Stock!
- Thread starter CANADAS GUN STORE
- Start date
They are supposed to come in .454 Casull, not quite 45-70 but getting there.
Speaking of which, are you expecting any .454s?

We have every caliber they make on order. Only seen the 410 and 45's so far. We will make a new post when we get the 357 and 44's in!
I know the Henry 45 Colt levers can take +P ammo such as Buffalo Bore hunting rounds (I called Henry and was told so). When I read the Citadel manual, it says no +P. Has anyone contacted Citadel to ask if this can handle the higher pressures? Not necessary T/C or Ruger 1 levels, but Winchester 94 pressure levels (as per my reloading manuals.... ignoring the fact that the Citadel manual says no reloaded ammo).
Buffalo Bore says this about their 45 Colt +P Deer Grenade "All 1892 Winchesters and all copies of such made after 1920. These loads are safe in all modern Model 1892 lever guns as well as all Winchester & Marlin 1894's"

When a previous dealer was bringing these in they said they were made in Brazil and basically a rebranded Rossi.
They're Rossi 92s, made "tactical". Both made in Brazil, probably in the same factory.

These are Rossi 92's. And at 1200$, they will sell out within 10 days just like the last dealer did.
last dealer was selling them for 999$ (citadel store had them for 699$ USD then, and still do now which is 930$ cad.) .. citadel store also has the .410 prices same as all other calibres.. so I'm curious where the additional 150$ mark up comes from, since the citadel store hasn't changes their price (asking for a friend).

at 999$ it hard to say no, at 1200 ish... a marlin dark is a better looking and quality firearm (which is also available at Canada's gun store, and more reasonably priced at US$ MSRP ) .
Reasonable as in Manufacturers retail price says 1800 cad, and dealer is selling it for 1800 cad. Not something the manufacturer is selling it for says is 930$ , but the dealer is asking 1150 .
But people are willing to pay the extra 2 bills. so what ever . at that point I personally would rather pay a bit more and get the new marlin dark. Comes better equipped than the levtac 92, better build, better looks, better stock at around 1800$ , buy once cry once. see yourself.

Well, I don't think it's comparable. It's out of stock, BTW, so price could be outdated.
I would agree that overall quality in general is better with Marlin. However, if you buy "tacticool" pistol caliber lever, then it would make more sense to have a polymer stock (Citadel/Rossi) and not a wood stock (Marlin). It also would be nice to have mlock HG and that is the case with Rossi, but not the case with Marlin. If you upgrade your Marlin with this stuff, then you're looking into another what, $400-800 cost? See "upgraded builds" on the EE and GP. Then you have 92 action vs 94 action. I personally like 94 more and it gives better sight radius. This is the point where everyone weights cost vs quality. BTW, I don't think it's correct to compare US MSRP and Canadian retail prices.
