CMP has several rifles and sometime something like a Mosberg M44 which was a US Army training rifle in 1944. There are a lot of target rifles and even training and materials.

I love my M44 but it is too heavy for a kid. I would go with a Henry Youth or a Davy Crickett.

I still have the Mossberg 44US that I bought in 1947. It's still a very accurate rifle.
