Pack Rifle Conversion (PRK) of Cricket .22 Rifle

[lchavez]

Picked up a cheap Cricket 22 Rifle to convert it to a packing rifle with the Ruta Locura PRK kit. This, along with some trekking poles, is my first purchase from this company and I am very pleased with the quality and service. Can't wait to take it shooting!

-32 Inch over all length when assembled
-20 Inches long when taken down
-14 Inch trigger pull

I've been wanting to do the same thing. Interested in hearing how it shoots.

I want one! Flute the barrel cut an inch off it and get it under a lb! Thats awesome!

Now that is pretty darn cool! Bob.

Whoa don't cut an inch off the barrel unless you get that baby registered as a NFA item first. Those Crickets come with a 16 1/8'' barrel. You'll be at 15 1/8'' if you lose an inch and have to SBR that thing.

Awesome set-up you have there though, I would look into getting a suppressor and having the barrel of that Cricket threaded. Would be an great grouse gun for camp.

I always see these in the store near my house and never once thought about this as an option. I usually use either my Ruger MKIII Hunter or my Ruger 10/22. This is a great little project and I may have to reconsider this gun.

They've got these kits back in production, but you have to email them. Just passing this along as I appreciate their product! Hoping they will build some more 22 mag kits too.

Neat little gun.
