I see a few listed at this time. Is it one of these, and if so what to look for?

This one is nice - needs to find out if the bolt is serialed to the rifle. Looks like a good sling to boot on it. Plus there is an actual action going on with no reserve. I'd expect to easily break $1000.00. GB Item # 148099951

i think i would send a message and ask for phone numb er and conveniant time to call

i have yet to see a bad 22 function wise, some i have seen a bit rough visually, but these rifles shoot, i shoot mine (have two) one is original and the other was converted to a prone gun in the late 30's and they both shoot, the prone gun holds sub minute at 100 yards prone



these are all 03 target rifles and the top one is a 22 the
the next one dwn is also a 22, the other two are 3006, i shoot the 3006 prone at 1000 yards and i practice with the 22, it is same trigger and same weight.

Seller sent me Pics of the Bolt. SN# engraved on the otherwise nice bolt appear IMO to have been done (crudely) with a "Vibra Engraver". The rifle has broken $1000.00.
Perhaps I spoke to quickly on my initial post.

My 1922 bolts are all engraved with a electric pencil. I would think it will go for 1300 plus.

MK111 - I'm not gonna belabor this point to much but there is a distinct difference between an "electric pencil" and a "vibritory engraver". Not to mention the quality of the marking.
If you PM me your email address I'll forward the pictures the seller sent me and you can compare with your bolt markings. That applies to anybody else that wants them as well.
The rifle is already overpriced and the essentially "ruined" bolt devalues it even more.

I have been collecting these rifles for 20 plus years. I have seen some bolts numbered neatly and some crudely. I did not see the bolt markings on this rifle, but this rifle is a rebarreled, parkerized rebuild. Some knowledgeable collectors call this a "club rifle" as these were used by all sorts of shooting clubs back when shooting was acceptable. All bolts should have an electric type marker used. Some of these markings were done at Springfield, others done at places like Benicia Arsenal and still others likely done at the local ROTC unit. Some replacement bolts will not be numered at all.
As far as the bolt being "ruined", that is probably overstating it a bit, but I did not see the numbering job. Rifle is worth what it brought. These 22 cal Springfields are slow in doing it, but are starting to fetch what they should considering only 40 thousand or so of all models were ever produced.

While searching for militaria online, I came across this auction which has a model 1922. Looks like it may have original barrel. Don't know about the bolt though. Any thoughts?
