Cricket rifle Barrel upgrade help

[RogueHk]

I'm thinking of buying a green mountain barrel. Do you guys like this company?

Maybe one of these barrels would work?

From what I read they are air gauged.


I read that the cricket barrels aren't always straight and I bought this rifle for my little girl who's turning 4 very soon. She's going to sit on my lap and shoot. Anyways I'd like to shop around and look for a good barrel replacement. I know enough about lathes to know you can make anything work but I don't know how the barrel on a cricket is attached. If they are just a press fit then it would be so simple for me to just get a barrel chambered as I own a 20 ton press.


Please help if you can and thank you so much

Have you shot it yet?

words of wisdom that stand the test of time do so for a reason. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." or mess it up. I think you are looking in the wrong direction to place blame on that little fella's mangled thumb. heard what from where? I can tell you first hand from touring the plant and shooting one myself, there ain't nothing wrong w/ the rifle. and if there is, contact Crickett, they are super-stand up folks and will make it right. They've been doing this for a good while and know what they are doing. One of the top machinists in the tri-state area runs the floor and I can't say enough good about the owner and what kind of operation he runs. If you want Bill's email, PM me.

Re: Have you shot it yet?

Maybe I missed it in the original post but...it doesn't sound like he is seeking a barrel swap for safety reasons, at least I didn't get that out of his post. This forum is jam packed with guys who like to upgrade/personalized/modify their firearms to suit their own style and needs. Sounds like the op is just seeking a barrel for grins. I like the heavy barreled crickett that sold here not too long ago and would love to see more of them.

Re: Have you shot it yet?

Look at the OP other posts and you will see what Maxpower is talking about. RogueHK has some sort of agenda on here for some reason. Look at some of his other posts.

Re: Have you shot it yet?

Hey LWilliams keep following me around in my threads and see where it gets you. I have no agenda what so ever. I only said what I said about the other topic because of what I was told. I asked for ref's and got them. I then spoke out about what I heard. End of story. I don't even know Chad. All I know is several people told me some pretty sickening story's about there rifles.


=========

I actually just wanted a much heavier barrel for the rifle. I've been reading that the cricket barrels aren't that straight so if I could get a match .22 barrel that would be awesome.

Re: Cricket rifle Barrel upgrade help

Let me get this straight. Now you are threatening someone on here for keeping an eye on you? What will you do? Run tell a mod?
With your current spate of posts, and the fact that you have not filled out your profile, more than a few people have decided to watch you.
So you admit to openly running down a man and his business, that you have never had any dealings with personally. I got news for you you are on several shit lists right now.....including the mods. "I'll be watching you."

Re: Cricket rifle Barrel upgrade help

So you want a heavier barrel on a rifle you bought for your 4 year old daughter to learn to shoot w/? Are you gonna start her on a weight lifting program first?? and you actually HAVE a Crickett in your hands to look at but have no idea how it's assembled? I call BS. If you want a heavy barrel for a Crickett, BUY A HEAVY BARREL CRICKETT. Otherwise buy a 10/22 and quit trash talking a tried and true design/product & business.

Re: Cricket rifle Barrel upgrade help

Just answering jetcycles post and questions. This is an open forum I thought, or are you going to ask that this one be locked also. Fill out your profile and quit being so sketchy and people might take you a little more serious.

I should've just stayed out of this thread...which is exactly what I'll do from this point on.

Re: Cricket rifle Barrel upgrade help

I have a Cricket for my grandaughter for 3 years, and have no issues with it at all. Very accurate rifle also. First thing I did was remove the lock set up. Once you press lock in it is locked, and if you did not carry key, you are done shooting.
