Description
The Lithgow Arms LA101 Crossover .22LR with a 19-inch barrel is a premium, Australian-made bolt-action rimfire rifle. It bridges the gap between a high-precision target rifle and a rugged field-ready hunting tool. Manufactured by Lithgow Arms using the same military-grade machinery and materials as their service weapons, the LA101 offers a level of build quality and refined engineering rarely seen in small-calibre platforms.
This 19-inch configuration provides a more compact, faster-handling profile than the standard length. It is the perfect choice for vermin control, tactical rimfire matches, or weekend target practice.
Key Features
- Military-Grade Accuracy: Built with a cold hammer-forged, medium-contour steel barrel featuring an 11° target crown to protect the muzzle and ensure match-grade consistency.
- Weatherproof Cerakote Finish: All metalwork—including the receiver, barrel, and bolt handle—comes factory-coated in H-Series Cerakote for maximum resistance against harsh outdoor elements.
- Ultra-Smooth Action: Features a robust rear-locking bolt designed with three hardened locking lugs and a short 60-degree lift, allowing fast cycling without interfering with large optics.
- Threaded Muzzle: Factory-threaded barrel (available in 1/2″ UNF) makes it ready for a sound moderator or muzzle brake.
- Proven Magazine Compatibility: Ships with a flush-fitting 5-round polymer magazine and is fully compatible with widely available CZ 452 / 455 magazines.

Why Choose the LA101 19″ Barrel?
The 19-inch barrel shifts the center of gravity rearward for a perfectly balanced feel in the hands. This makes it incredibly agile when tracking moving targets in the field or shooting from a vehicle or hide. When paired with a sound suppressor, the overall length remains compact and easy to maneuver through heavy brush. It is built to a standard, not a price—delivering standard-rifle reliability in a rimfire package.
