Armscor M14Y Rocki 51013 Yth Rfl 22Lr 18.3 10R Wd

The Rock Island Armory M14Y is a .22 LR youth rifle built for young shooters ready to learn the fundamentals of marksmanship. Unlike many adult rifles cut down to junior dimensions, the M14Y was purpose-designed from the ground up with a 12-inch length of pull and a raised cheek rest—features that put proper sight picture and shooting comfort within reach of smaller frames. Its Philippine hardwood stock combines classic rifle aesthetics with the durability young shooters need as they develop their skills.

This bolt-action .22 is straightforward and reliable, exactly what you want when teaching proper rifle handling. The hooded front sight and leaf-type rear sight give young marksmen consistent aiming without the expense or complexity of optics, while the adjustable rear sight lets you dial in groups as they grow into the rifle. The 18.34-inch contoured barrel keeps the overall length to a manageable 34.25 inches, and at just 5 pounds unloaded, it won't fatigue young shooters during extended range sessions. The 10-round magazine ships standard (15-round magazines available separately), giving you plenty of rounds downrange between reloads.

Built for the shooting sports, not as a compromise: the M14Y respects that introducing kids to rifles deserves a rifle designed with their dimensions and development in mind. Whether your young shooter is stepping up from a .22 trainer or you're introducing them to centerfire-style rifle handling, this Rock Island delivers honest performance and that same parkerized durability the brand is known for.
