"Vera" wife's Citadel 92

[dpowers92]

Citadel Lev-Tec 92 is very light, accurate, and handy rifle that will feed all sorts of ammo with little to no issues.
Price point is more than fair for everything you get with this rifle.



Accuracy: At 100 yards using factory ammo; this gun is capable of 2 inch groups and 3" is common using a red dot sight . The pictures are of a day at the range with the wife.

Fit and Finish:
The finish is good enough for a working gun ( receiver easily scratches).
The buttstock to metal fit is excellent. ( Will try replacing the polymer buttstock with one from Boyds or one from an old Rossi)
The handguard is great ( use lock-tight for the two securing screws.)

Things I have changed.
Magazine Spring
Mag fallower
Ejector spring
Hammer Spring.
Did most of the modifications suggested on Steve's DVD
The front sling stud needed to be change out......issue that is common with other Levtec 92s.


Minor Issues:
Screws tend to loosen up under recoil
The rear sight (peep) tends to loosen out.

After removing the cartridge guides play around with their positioning so that the round feed through reliably.
The little pin that goes inside the carrier came out during firing and I had to make one out of a coat hanger. ( I had to guess on the dimensions here ) but it seems to be working.


Ammo that has been tried: Feed and Cycle well
Federal 158JSP 357 mag ( Most accurate)
Fiocchi Soft Point 357 Mag 158gr
Hornady American Gunner, .357 Magnum, XTP, 125 Grain
Blazer 357 mag Aluminum Case ( cycles and ejects without issue. Cheap fun ammo 25$/per box

Federal Hammer Down 170grain
Grizzley 357 MAGNUM 180gr WFNGC . This is a smoking hot round. I think this will be the go to hunting rounds.
