Hello to all and thanks in advance for opinions and advice. While visiting a local gun shop today, I saw a rifle that was unusual for that particular store. Marked "Model 1922 M11" Cal. 22, serial #3005B. The barrel is dated 11-25 and the receiver and barrel appear parkerized (dull grey) with the bolt channel parked also. The stock has a small cartouche of a capital P inside a square on the underside of the pistol grip. The bolt has the serial # etched (engraved?) crudely on the underside and M2 on the top of the bolt handle. It has a rear sight with an elevation slide for 125 yards, a small aperture, and a Lyman globe front sight. The bore is bright and shiny. The rifle is on consignment and comes with one magazine. The metal looks great, the wood is in good shape but may have been sanded on. Since this is the first and only one I have seen I can't judge the wood for finish or fit, but overall for a rifle of this vintage it looks pretty good and the Lyman globe on the front indicates some level of target shooting was done or at least tried. The asked price was $975 and my question is twofold: first am I going to get hurt at that price, and second are spares available for common problems? Thanks.

Here are some pics of my new 416...

I have a correct set of Stevens sights for it, but mounted a Redfield International rear and Olympic front and see how it shoots. It came set up for the Redfield sights. Haven't gotten to the range with it yet.

The wood and metal are in very good condition.

Here it is. Just as it came off of Cabela's rack.





Some surface rust and a fair number of dings and dents in the stock but the bore and chamber are nice, the trigger wasn't as bad as I was afraid it might be. I put 10 rounds through it just to hear it go bang and to the rifles credit it put all 10 into a ruffly 4 inch group at 25 yards which for me starting off cold offhand isn't half bad.
I'm in the process of doing a thorough cleaning. It's looking much better all ready. I don't think this poor thing has been cleaned in at least 10 years. Short of the cosmoline on my Enfields I have never seen so much congealed oil, hardened grease and powder fouling. It's a wonder it would even fire.:yikes:

I have a M1922 M1 U.S. Springfield training rifle. I was wondering if there are any DCM sales records for these rifles. My rifle serial # is 12155. Thanks Steve

Hello everybody,
i am new to this forum and i live in west Germany. I have read some great threads about the M1922 rifle in this forum so i decided to register.
Not long ago a M1922 M2 found a new home im my basement. I found it in excellent condition with blank and sharp barrel at a small gunstore. The clerk told me it came from a deceased collector. I have never seen one of this rifles in my life before and i am surprised about the good condition of steel and wood. I hope you can tell me some information about its age and maybe where it comes from originally.

It it stamped as US Springfield Armory Cal. .22 M2 with the serial number 5129. The barrel near the front sight is stamped with SA 7-42 and the flame bomb symbol. The bolt handle is stamped NS M2. The diopter is a 48C made by lyman. It came with a leather sling which looks like a 1907 modell and a detachable 5 shot magazine.

Is there a must have spare part kit for this rifle? I thought about getting a spare magazine in the us.

Thank you very much.

I always wanted a german 9mm luger but the cost is so high I found a stoeger luger in 22lr. It appears to be an awesome copy of a luger pistol. Plus its not ammo finiky and cheap to shoot the 22lr rounds. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Anyone out there with a Beretta Hakim 22 lr training rifle please let me know - double please if you have spare parts! I have one that was used for parts to repair others and need several parts for it as well as pics of what I am missing.

Thanks!

I really don't know if thois is the right forum, but here it goes:

I have a brand new JW 15 Norinco that I bought because a, I learned to shoot on a Brno #2 that my dad had way back in the 70's, and b, I can't afford a Brno or CZ, and C, the JW15 is supposed to be a knock-off of the Brno. Simple economics.

I keep hearing that there are modifications that can be made to this little .22 that are supposed to make it "pop". any suggestions out there?

For starters, where (if anywhere) can a guy get a decent stock for it? I have the black plastic one. Any suggestions for "cleaning her up"? Already cleaned out that bunker crude the Chinese seem to ship everything in.

Just found a 19922M2 at a local dealer. Rifle looks used but in good shape. Rifle has a low number sn 2945. Looking for any info you might have. Barrel is 1933 manufacture. Lyman 48C rear sight & Lyman globe front. NS M2 bolt.

Will try to post photos shortly.

I recently inherited a model Springfield Model 1922 and was hoping your expertise could help me identify which one I have. It does have holes drilled I believe for scoop, I assume by a gunsmith and I haven't seen any other ones with this stock. I believe it's one of the 2020 made that isn't a m1 or m2. It still shoots true ( had it out today shooting ) and is in good shape. Low serial # to. I just don't want to be shooting it if it's like a super rare and valuable gun. So any idea's on what it is worth would be helpful as well.

Any help would be appreciated

Here are some pics :

I have a Springfield 1922M1 and want to mount a Unertl scope.
I wanting to know which base I need and where I might find them.

Thanks!

I have a target rifle marked :-

.22 L.R. CAL RANGE SPORTS CAN MADE IN CHINA BY NORINCO.
( I do not know what CAN means )

Has any one ever come across this model?

I know of Norinco and have .22s by them, but cannot find any
reference anywhere to this model.

It does shoot well, and it is a very good junior training rifle.

It reminds me a little of an old Mauser KKM target rifle I had in the late 80s.

First off; I'm looking for advice, not trolling in the wrong location for buyers.

Is it better to offer a gun with a flawed stock and include a spare stock in good condition; or should I swap out first and just mention that the stock and reciever S/Ns don't match?


Back story, I was taking photos of my H&R Reising Model 65 for a possible ad when I noticed this:


removing the buttplate revealed this:


From this last photo, not only did I identify a stock flaw, I learned the stock on the rifle is not original to the rifle. S/N ends in 831, but the stock is stamped 122.

I have 2 other M65 stocks I could use:

Or I could repair the stock currently on the rifle. What does the collected wisdom of this sight suggest as a COA before selling this rifle?

Anyone with a .22
The 2013 Milsurps Comp/shoot has a new addition to the normal 100yds/mtr, and now has a .22 comp/shoot at 25/50 yds/mtr thought it may open a few doors to a few more. See link below


Milsurp Target Competition and Shoot (2013)

This came off a Springfield Model 1922 M1. It was mounted in the cutoff. Any ideas exactly what it is, who made it and how it was used? TIA

I bought a second-hand Anschutz 470 and discovered that the block needs to be replaced. As far as I can tell these are unobtainium, so if anyone has any parts for one of these lying around, I'd appreciate it. Feel free to contact me off-list.

I am hoping one of you gentlemen can give me some accurate info. I have a mauser kkw that has a civilian stock. The pistol grip is flat on bottom, I have read this is correct for civilian mausers. My question is this,how common or rare is this gun? I will try to post some pics , but I am not too computer savvy. Thanks in advance for any info.

I have a military style Krupp model .22LR rifle. There are no military stamps anywhere on the rifle. Can you tell me anything about the rifle?

Should have mentioned this is a model 625.

Did the US government ever use the Springfield Stevens model 87A as training rifles?

Also, is there any way to date these rifles being there is no serial number? TIA
