How to unlock a cricket rifle
Crickett Rifle Safety Lock Removal
[Music]
hey everybody welcome back to the
channel today we're going to be taking a
look at a special little rifle for small
children the cricket 22 my first rifle
joining us today is the owner of this
rifle the small one hello small ones say
hello to the channel small one is going
to be helping us remove a feature that
could be a safety feature for those of
you who are safety minded but could also
be a source of frustration if it
accidentally gets actuated which is very
easy based on its placement and of
course if you've already guessed it by
looking at the view that we have here
we're talking about this little safety
lock mechanism right there
now this locking mechanism works by
pushing a little rod through that hole
in the bottom of the chamber and
basically locking this bolt in place so
you can't close it if it's closed and
you activate it you can't open it and
that can be good because that makes it
so that children who may accidentally
get or maybe not so accidentally get
access to this rifle unsupervised can't
make it work however if you keep your
your firearm or their firearm rather out
of their reach in a locked safe or
something to that nature then perhaps
this is unnecessary and when firing you
can accidentally press this up on your
bench or your rest or with your hand
which has actually happened to small one
before I was with my dad and I was
getting ready to shoot and it just
wouldn't open so I got daddy to look at
it and it had been locked thank gosh we
had the key but if you don't have the
key you might
have problems right that could be the
end of your shooting day so what we're
gonna do is we're gonna take this out
now you will need a few special tools
excuse me that most people won't just
have lying around in their toolkit one
of those is going to be a deep well 15
millimeter socket you don't need the
socket wrench for this just the just the
socket will be fine
and you'll want to get one that's
specifically made for removing spark
plugs because if you get this and the
sides of this well are too thick it may
not fit in there so get yourself a 15
millimeter deep well spark plug socket
wrench you can get that at autozone or
any other auto parts store o'reilly
advanced whatever now the other thing
that you're going to need is a Torx 25
and not just any Torx 25 but a security
Torx or precision Torx whichever the
brand that is selling it at that time in
that place decides to call it with the
little hole in the end of the post here
because as you'll notice our Torx bolt
here has a post in it so let's get
started first thing that we're going to
need to do is we're going to need to
take this part off of this part now
small one can you tell me what this part
is called stock that's correct and this
part the barrel that's right so let's
take this stock off of the barrel we'll
grab our 25 our t25 here there we go and
let's just make sure this is going to
the right direction you're doing all
right I'm putting this in the middle of
the video because well because I like to
make my videos awkward this hole here
and this hole here can be used to attach
a sling swivel on each side so that you
can put a sling on this rifle okay the
very end right here is called the muscle
that's right this part is the muzzle and
while you're shooting never put your
hand or finger there not and don't point
it at yourself because it can't that's
where the bullet comes out and you could
accidentally really injure it yourself
that's correct always make sure to treat
it like it's loaded that's right that is
rule number one of the four rules of
safety yep okay
moving on now we've taken that one screw
out our whole action is going to come
right out of the stock set that to the
side now if you look inside you don't
have your rod anymore
you can go ahead and close this up and
because I goofed I'm going to go ahead
and put this off to the side and bring
that stock right back because that is
where the lock is so we won't need our
t25 again until we put this back
together now what we're going to need is
this deep well 25 millimeter socket and
that's to get this hex washer off of
here that's going to fit right in here
yep okay I'm gonna turn that doesn't
take a whole lot the caliber is 22 okay
now we've removed our washer here or
that's not really a washer it's a nut
we've removed our nut and we're gonna
pop this right out there goes
and here it is okay go ahead and hold it
up for us and I will a little over right
there and zoomed there you go that's the
whole thing now I don't want to lose
this piece so I'm just gonna go ahead
and put this on here just in case I ever
want to put it back okay and we'll just
put that off to the side I like to put
things off to the side yeah okay now
we're going to put it back together and
that is just as simple as taking it
apart line up our parts of our action
here and what kind of action is this
small one that is correct if you do
remove this will have where the safety
lock is and some of you may be asking
yourself what's gonna come out of there
well if we get our light just right you
can see that when the bolt is closed
it's completely sealed yeah okay but to
swage those fears that well maybe it
doesn't have a great seal one it's a 22
it's not gonna be pushing out a lot of
pressure
and two I happen to take this to the
range today just to try that out and
absolutely nothing came out of there so
if for any reason you would like to get
one of these rifles for your small one
and small one when did I get you this
get this rifle for you and because every
good rifle needs a name small one what
did you name your rifle that's a good
show all right so if you want to get
your small one one of these rifles she
got hers at five as she said then and
you don't want to have this safety
feature here anymore
then that is the simple and easy way
that
you can take it out just absolutely be
sure that your firearms and your
children's firearms are out of their
reach locked away where they cannot
access them as per whatever state law
you may happen to find yourself in the
jurisdiction of and that's all we have
for you today so if you like this video
go ahead and hit that like that thumbs
up down there in the bottom probably

kind of feedback you might have if I've
