These are the basic parts of a .22 rifle, but there may be additional components depending on the specific make and model of the firearm.
Barrel: It is the long, cylindrical metal tube through which the bullet is propelled. It has rifling inside to impart spin on the bullet for accuracy.
Action: It is the mechanism of the rifle that loads, fires, and ejects the cartridge. There are several types of actions, including bolt-action, semi-automatic, pump-action, and lever-action.
Stock: The stock is the wooden or synthetic structure that holds the barrel and action. It is designed to provide a comfortable shooting position for the shooter and to absorb recoil.
Trigger: This is the lever that the shooter pulls to release the firing mechanism and discharge the bullet.
Magazine: It is a removable or internal device that holds the cartridges before they are fed into the chamber. It allows for quick reloading of the rifle.
Bolt: In bolt-action rifles, the bolt is the part that locks the cartridge in place, fires it, and ejects the spent shell casing.
Safety: Most rifles have a safety mechanism, a switch or button, designed to prevent accidental discharge of the firearm.
Sights: Rifles usually have front and rear sights to help the shooter aim accurately. They can be simple iron sights or may include adjustable options such as telescopic or red dot sights.
Muzzle: This is the open end of the barrel from which the bullet exits when fired.
