Keystone Crickett KSA693 | .22 LR | 10.5″ TB

The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett KSA693 is a manually cocked single‑shot bolt‑action pistol chambered for .22 LR. It pairs a 10.5″ blued, threaded barrel with a black synthetic grip and Williams/fiber‑optic sights for straightforward handling and sight acquisition. The action includes a rebounding firing pin safety designed to reduce the chance of an accidental discharge when the firearm is not deliberately cocked. A compact 1x red dot such as the Vortex Venom (under $1,000) is a suitable optic choice for faster target acquisition while preserving the pistol’s low‑weight profile.

Typical applications include recreational target shooting (plinking) and introductory marksmanship or small‑game field use. The Crickett’s single‑shot, bolt‑action design emphasizes simplicity and low maintenance.
