Crickett KSA696 22 LR Single Shot Pistol 10.5" Threaded Barrel

The Crickett KSA696 delivers precision shooting performance in a compact single-shot platform chambered in 22 LR. This adult pistol combines traditional bolt-action reliability with modern tactical features for target shooting and small game hunting. Built on Crickett's proven single-shot action, it offers exceptional accuracy potential in an affordable package.

What Makes This Different

Unlike typical 22 LR pistols that rely on semi-automatic actions, the KSA696 uses a manual bolt operation that eliminates cycling issues with subsonic ammunition. The 10.5-inch stainless steel barrel provides superior velocity retention compared to shorter barrels, while the threaded muzzle accepts standard 1/2x28 suppressors or muzzle devices. Williams Fire Sights deliver faster target acquisition than basic open sights found on most budget 22 pistols.

Key Features

• 10.5-inch stainless steel threaded barrel with protective cap
• Williams Fire Sight system for enhanced visibility and accuracy
• Integrated Picatinny accessory rail for optics mounting
• Synthetic grip designed for adult hand sizes
• Rebounding firing pin safety prevents accidental discharge
• Single-shot bolt action eliminates feeding malfunctions
• Threaded muzzle accepts 1/2x28 TPI suppressors and compensators

The single-shot design excels in precision shooting scenarios where follow-up speed matters less than accuracy. Target shooters appreciate the consistent lockup and trigger pull shot after shot. Small game hunters benefit from the quiet operation and ability to use subsonic loads effectively. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid conditions while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature ranges.
