Cadet rifle

Generally .22 caliber and bolt-action, they also come in semi-automatic versions.

They are often miniature .22 caliber versions of standard issue service rifles.

Older 19th century cadet rifles were simply smaller and lighter versions of standard issue service rifles designed to fire reduced power cartridges.

.22 caliber conversion kits are commonly used on standard M16 rifles and M4 carbines.
