Keystone Arms Begins Shipping Mini 1903-A3 .22LR
Keystone Arms is now shipping the newest installment in their family of mini rimfire clones. The Mini 1903-A3 provides the look and feel of the classic Springfield rifle but scaled down. Let’s take a look at its features.

Inside the 1903ish exterior is a Keystone Crickett, a single shot bolt action. The sights are very similar to the original 03-A3, but the barrel is threaded 1/2x28 for easy suppressor use. The Mini 1903-A3 has an MSRP of $449. Keystone also sells two miniature .22 LR versions of Mosin Nagant rifles, if you or your child have a taste for Combloc bolt guns. Hook your little shooter up with a first rifle with some retro vibes (and a leg up practicing for CMP vintage military rifle matches).

It would be cooler if they made them the same size as the original rifle.
I would like these a lot more if they had a magazine built in, even if it was only a few rounds.
