IS MY CRICKETT® MISSING A SCREW?

Many of our customers call us to ask about a “missing screw” in their new synthetic Crickett®.

The Crickett® rifle has only one take-down screw located 1.5″ in front of the trigger guard.

The other two “holes” in the forend and buttstock are actually molded in to accept swivel studs where a sling can be attached.

Are the stocks drilled for sling studs?

All Generation 2 Cricketts® and Chipmunks® now come with swivel studs installed (Barracuda and EX not included)

If you have a Generation 1 Crickett® or Chipmunk® wooden model the stock is not pre-drilled. You will have to pre-drill the holes to install swivel studs

If you have a Generation 1 Synthetic Crickett® your stock already had the holes formed in the manufacturing process.
