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.
