Description
Nothing else on the rack looks like a Vector. The angular lines, the forward magazine well, the low slung barrel, it all carries over to this dedicated 22 LR carbine from Kriss USA. And this particular version, model KV22CFD03, is the one a lot of folks have been waiting for because it comes with a 30 round magazine in the box instead of the standard 10. That means more trigger time between reloads, whether you're ringing steel, running rimfire matches, or just burning through a brick of ammo on a Saturday.
What the Vector 22 CRB Gen2 Brings to the Range
The 16 inch barrel is 4140 chrome moly steel with a black nitride finish, and it's threaded 1/2×28, the standard pitch for most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. Subsonic 22 LR through a can on a 16 inch tube is about as quiet as shooting gets, so this thing was practically built to be suppressed. Up front you get a free floating aluminum M-LOK handguard for lights, hand stops, or a bipod, and the full length Picatinny rail on top handles any optic you want to mount. Low profile flip up sights come installed, so you can shoot it the day it comes home.
A Rimfire Trainer with Real Vector DNA
This isn't a conversion kit bolted onto something else. It's a purpose built 22 LR blowback action wearing the same footprint and control layout as the centerfire Vector carbines. The ambidextrous safety, last round bolt hold open, and forward mag release all match up, which makes it a legitimate low cost trainer if you run a 9mm or 45 ACP Vector. The 6 position adjustable stock fits shooters of all sizes, and the Flat Dark Earth finish over the aluminum receiver looks sharp against the black nitride barrel.
At 7.4 pounds it has a solid, planted feel that keeps the muzzle steady, and with basically zero recoil from the 22 LR cartridge, it's a blast for new shooters and seasoned hands alike. Fun factor is off the charts on this one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put a suppressor on the Vector 22 CRB?
Yes, the 16 inch black nitride barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard pitch for most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. Pair it with subsonic 22 LR and you have one of the quietest setups you can shoot. Just double check clearance if you run a particularly fat can.
Is the Kriss Vector CRB Gen2 22 LR a conversion or a dedicated rimfire?
It's a dedicated 22 LR rifle, not a conversion kit. Kriss built it around a simple direct blowback action sized specifically for the rimfire cartridge, while keeping the same exterior footprint, ambidextrous safety, and control layout as the centerfire Vector carbines. That makes it a great training companion if you own a 9mm or 45 ACP Vector.
Does this model come with the 30 round magazine?
Yes, that's what sets the KV22CFD03 apart from the base model. It ships with one 30 round Vector 22 magazine in the box rather than the standard 10 rounder. Extra magazines are available separately if you want to keep the reloads to a minimum on range day.
Can I mount an optic on the Vector 22 CRB Gen2?
Absolutely. The aluminum receiver has a full length Picatinny rail on top that handles red dots, magnified optics, or scopes without any extra hardware. The included flip up sights fold down low so they stay out of the way, and the M-LOK handguard adds room for a light or other accessories up front.
