    Springfield M2 - .22 cal Trainer - Original Finish

    Well, I thought I was done with buying for the year. But the following gem surfaced at my local shop, and there was NO WAY it was going to leave with anyone else.

    These are rarely found with matching bolt numbers and original dark grey parkerized finish. Bolt channel in the receiver is still in the white. Most were rebuilt with swapped bolts/stocks/other parts, and received a refinish in the dark green park.

    Barrel is dated 5-37. Mag is correctly stamped 'M2'. Factory installed Lyman 48C rear sight. Electro-pencil number spanning both underside halves of the bolt is correct.

    It looks like it once had a front sight cover which did some significant scratching, and the mag floorplate took a little beating, too. Barrel band has some typical finish loss. The gun is obviously used, but not terribly abused. Stock has lightly worn finger grooves and a few dings, but does not appear sanded or heavily refinished with excess coats of linseed oilicon. Overall, I think it is still a 90-plus% gun.

    Some pics for you. Thanks for looking.
