Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is a reason so many folks started out on a single shot, and the Crickett 20 gauge carries that tradition on. Keystone Sporting Arms built its name on the Crickett and Chipmunk youth rifles, and this break action shotgun follows the same playbook: keep it simple, keep it sized right, and let a new shooter focus on doing one thing well. One shell, one shot, and a deliberate reload in between. That rhythm builds patience and shot discipline faster than anything else we know of.
The 18.5 inch blued barrel keeps the whole package short and quick to handle, and the shortened youth stock lets smaller framed hunters mount the gun properly instead of stretching to reach the trigger. The 3 inch chamber handles the full range of 20 gauge loads, so a young hunter can run light target shells on clays all summer and step up to heavier field loads when squirrel, rabbit, or turkey season rolls around. A bead front sight and crossbolt safety round out a setup that is easy to learn and easy to teach.
The black synthetic stock is the practical pick for a first shotgun. It shrugs off rain, mud, and the general abuse that comes with a kid dragging a gun through the woods, and there is no wood finish to fret over. At just over five pounds, it is light enough to carry all morning without wearing anybody out, and light enough that an adult mentor will not mind toting it back to the truck either.
Break action guns like this one also make supervision simple. Pop the action open and anyone nearby can see at a glance whether the gun is loaded, which is exactly what you want when you are teaching someone their first season. If you are shopping for a starter shotgun that will get handed down rather than traded off, this one belongs on the short list.
That is exactly what it was designed for. Keystone Sporting Arms specializes in youth firearms, and this shotgun pairs a simple break action with a shortened stock so smaller framed hunters get a proper fit. The single shot format also slows things down, which helps new hunters build safe habits and make each shot count.
The 3 inch chamber accepts both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 20 gauge shells. Lighter 2 3/4 inch target loads are the way to go for practice and clays, especially with newer or smaller framed users, while heavier field loads work well for small game and bird hunting. Just remember that heavier loads bring noticeably more recoil in a gun this light.
No, this model uses a fixed modified choke. Modified is a solid middle-of-the-road choice that patterns well for most small game, upland birds, and clay targets at typical youth hunting distances, so there is nothing to swap out or keep track of.
You open the action, drop a shell into the chamber, and close it up before firing. Opening the action also gives everyone at the range or in the field a clear visual that the gun is unloaded, which makes it a favorite for mentored hunts. It is about as straightforward as a shotgun gets, and that simplicity is the whole point for a first gun.
