Crickett Amendments Blued 22 LR details
The action is a manually cocking single shot bolt made from alloy nickel plated steel, and the firing pin rebounds so it’s blocked unless the rifle is cocked. One shot at a time is the point: a new shooter slows down and thinks about each one.
Length of pull is 12 inches, which suits most young shooters, it weighs about 3 pounds and it comes with iron sights and a receiver drilled and tapped for an optics rail. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Crickett scope mounts if you want to add an optic later.
Bluing is the classic finish on a .22. Wipe it with a lightly oiled rag after a wet day and it stays in good shape for years.
.22 LR in the Crickett Amendments Blued 22 LR
A .22 LR costs a few cents per round and barely moves the rifle when it fires. Kids can shoot a whole box without flinching, and it’s plenty for small game and tin cans. For the technical side, see the SAAMI cartridge drawings or the .22 LR article on Wikipedia.

Sizing the Crickett Amendments Blued 22 LR
A rifle that’s too long is the most common reason kids struggle. With the stock in the shoulder, the child should reach the trigger with the first pad of the finger and keep the elbow bent. Crickett’s short length of pull is what makes that possible for small arms.
Who the Crickett Amendments Blued 22 LR is for
Most buyers pick the Crickett Amendments Blued 22 LR for one of these reasons:
- Youth programs and 4-H shooting clubs
- Adults who want a light trapping or camp gun
- Parents buying a first rifle for a child
Teach the basic safety rules before the first range trip. The NSSF safety guides are a good place to start.
Keeping it in good shape
Cleaning is easy. Remove the one takedown screw under the stock, lift out the barreled action, run a cleaning rod from the breech and wipe everything with a light oil. Store it unloaded with the bolt open or removed.
