About this product
What is the Keystone Crickett CPR .22 LR 16.10" Threaded Old Glory? It's a purpose-built single-shot bolt-action rimfire rifle designed specifically for precision training and suppressor-ready small game work, featuring a threaded bull barrel and an adjustable-stock system that makes it ideal for both youth shooters and adults seeking foundational marksmanship development. This platform leverages a manually-cocked bolt with rebounding firing pin safety to eliminate accidental discharge risks while maintaining mechanical simplicity that's perfect for teaching proper trigger control and follow-through.
What is the Keystone Crickett CPR used for?
This rifle serves as a dedicated training platform and small game harvester with its suppressor-ready 16.10-inch threaded barrel and single-shot operation enforcing ammunition discipline. It's optimized for .22 LR subsonic ammunition when suppressed, producing 120 dB peak sound levels that won't require hearing protection in field conditions, and the 3.60 lb weight makes it ideal for extended carrying during squirrel or rabbit hunts where shot opportunities require steady offhand positions.
How does the Keystone Crickett CPR compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Crickett CPR specializes in foundational training while the Stevens 334 .308 Win serves as a full-power hunting platform, with the CPR being 2.4 lbs lighter and $189 cheaper but limited to rimfire applications. Where the Stevens 334 delivers 1500+ foot-pounds of energy for deer hunting at 200+ yard ranges, the Crickett produces 140 foot-pounds maximum for small game under 50 yards, making these complementary rather than competing tools for different phases of marksmanship development.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle measures 31 inches overall with a 16.10-inch barrel and weighs exactly 3.60 pounds unloaded. The length of pull adjusts from 10.5 to 13.5 inches to accommodate shooters from youth through adult sizes, and the bull barrel profile measures 0.920 inches in diameter at the muzzle to provide the stability needed for consistent sub-MOA groups with match-grade ammunition.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for tactical training or defensive scenarios where rapid follow-up shots are required due to its single-shot operation. Hunters pursuing coyotes or larger game should consider the Stevens 334 in .308 Win instead, as the .22 LR cartridge lacks the energy for ethical kills beyond small game, and competitive shooters will find the manual cocking action too slow for timed events.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle with mounted 1/2x28 thread protector, one Crickettinny scope rail for optics mounting, and an owner's manual with detailed disassembly instructions. Unlike many budget rifles, it ships without cheap optics or unnecessary accessories that would increase cost without adding real value, maintaining the $210.99 price point for what actually matters - the core shooting platform.
Is the Keystone Crickett CPR worth it at $210.99?
Absolutely, provided you need a dedicated trainer or small game rifle rather than a multi-role firearm, as this price represents a $40 premium over non-threaded Cricket models but includes the suppressor-ready barrel and adjustable stock. For comparison, converting a standard Crickett to threaded configuration would cost $150+ in gunsmithing fees, making this factory-threaded version the economical choice for suppressor enthusiasts and those teaching proper fundamentals without recoil management complications.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR suppressors?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 threaded muzzle accepts all standard .22 LR suppressors including SilencerCo Sparrow and Dead Air Mask models. The threads are precisely cut to 0.625 inches in length with clean peaks that won't gall during installation or removal.
- Does it fit youth shooters properly?
- The adjustable stock accommodates shooters with 10.5 to 13.5 inch length of pull requirements, fitting most children aged 8+ and adults up to 6' tall. For smaller frames, consider the dedicated youth model without threaded barrel that's $40 cheaper but lacks suppressor capability.

- Ironclad Armory processes firearms shipments within 3 business days via FedEx 2Day service, delivering to Montana FFL dealers in 5-7 total days. All shipments require adult signature confirmation and FFL paperwork completion before release.
- Can I return it if the stock doesn't adjust properly?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturing defects like stuck adjustment mechanisms, but requires inspection at their Arizona facility before processing. Normal wear from adjustment trials isn't covered, so test the mechanism gently during your initial inspection period.
