I've since spoken with a sales guy at Keystone. Best I can tell, the two lines are mostly the same, but the Crickett has a polymer cocking knob and front sight, while the Chipmunk's are steel. The other difference is the stock choices available. The synthetics are restricted to the Crickett, as is (don't ask me to explain this) the adult-sized walnut.

A new item, available maybe this week, is a folding .410 made in Turkey. 18" barrel, short stock, and back-bored (apparently) to reduce recoil. Others are importing the same gun, notably Academy, but with long barrels. The salesman said the ones he's seen had very nice walnut.


What fresh Hell is this?
