KSA Black Synthetic .22LR "My First Rifle" Stainless Steel Package

The Crickett KSA Black Synthetic .22LR "My First Rifle" Stainless Steel Package is purpose-built for young shooters and anyone new to firearms. This single-shot .22LR rifle combines a proven safety design, manageable size, and reliable performance in a package that introduces proper shooting fundamentals without overwhelming complexity. The stainless steel barrel resists corrosion, making it a solid choice for shooters who'll take it afield or to the range regularly.

What sets this Generation 2 Crickett apart is the EZ Loader—a feature that simplifies ammunition loading for smaller hands and builds confidence during the learning process. The rifle ships with swivel studs pre-installed, so you can add a sling immediately if you choose. The adjustable rear peep sight and fixed front post deliver straightforward aiming suitable for target practice and small-game hunting at typical youth-rifle distances. Safety is built in: a rebounding firing pin design automatically blocks the hammer to prevent accidental discharge, a critical feature when teaching new shooters.

Weighing under 3 pounds with an 11.5-inch length of pull and 30-inch overall length, the rifle fits young and smaller-framed shooters comfortably without sacrificing stability. The 16.1-inch stainless barrel comes rifled 1:16, optimized for .22LR ballistics. This is a no-frills, single-shot platform—perfect for teaching one-shot discipline and marksmanship fundamentals before advancing to semi-automatic or higher-capacity rifles.

Whether you're introducing a child to shooting sports, setting up a reliable trainer rifle for yourself, or stocking a .22LR for plinking and small-game work, the Crickett My First Rifle delivers honest performance and safety in a package that won't intimidate a new shooter.

Yes. The Crickett My First Rifle is specifically designed for young and new shooters. Its light weight (under 3 pounds), compact 11.5-inch length of pull, 30-inch overall length, and single-shot action encourage proper technique and focus. The EZ Loader makes ammunition handling easier for smaller hands, and the rebounding firing pin safety is a critical design feature for safe handling during training.

What sights come with this rifle?

Does the stainless steel barrel require special maintenance?

Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and more forgiving than blued steel in wet or outdoor conditions, but all rifle barrels benefit from regular cleaning and dry storage. As with any firearm, follow standard rifle maintenance practices to keep your Crickett in reliable condition.

Can I add a sling to this rifle?

Yes. This package includes pre-installed swivel studs, so you can attach a sling without additional gunsmithing or drilling.
