I just started an inventory of my firearms for future reference of my heirs. I'm not as bad as some hoarders, thankfully, because I go for quality over quantity. I think I may qualify for a treatment program :madsmile:
These are DCM or CMP .22 target rifles
Win 75 Target
Rem 513-T
H&R M12
Rem 40-X
Win 52D
Kimber Model 82 Govt
Springfield M1922
and for more fun,
Bushmaster CMP AR with USAF .22 conversion
What DCM/CMP .22s do you have?
my CMP inventory will be very short---like 0. But I do have perhaps 40-50 other '.22's, like you all are excellent.
What no Mossberg 44s? I have 8 of them from the CMP plus one 42 with lend lease markings. Where is the Remington 541X thought everyone has one of those? I only have one of them. You do have a 1922 and that is one I am lacking want to trade for a couple Mossbergs?
I have:
8 Mossberg M44s remember when they were $75 each?
1 Remington 541X
2 H&R M12s
4 Rem 40X (one USMC)
1 Win 52D
3 513Ts
1 Kimber 82
I have a 75T but it is not US marked. Still looking for the 52C and a Mossberg 144. heck looking for a Winder Musket as well.
I have never sold a .22 I got from the CMP there are some of the neatest guns they have sold and all were in very mimited numbered compared to the Garands or carbines.
Got lots of other .22s as well but these are the CMP/DCM guns.
Just a thought: I read somewhere that the poster's greatest fear was that his widow would sell his collection for what he had told her he paid for it. :yikes:Quote:

Looking for a Winchester 1890 US and a Remington 511-P both US marked.
DRB info on your unmarked Win 75. The experts claim that non of the Military Winchester 75 where US Property marked. Only markings normally seen are re-build stamps on stock like a "P" on bottom of pistol grip. I have seen two US Property stamped Win 75's and the experts claim they where fakes. Hope this helps. Check your serial number range for war time production. They claim the US goverment bought them up to 1946. I have a 1946 dated one for sale now that is rebuilt marked and parkerized.
I have a LOT of .22 LR target rifles but the below list came from the CMP.
Winchester 52D
Remington 513T
Mossberg M44
I think the 513 is my favorite. We used DCM 513's in the 70's on the high school rifle team. As soon as the CMP released the 513's several years back I'm sure my package was one of the first to arrive, I wanted that rifle very, very badly.
Whenever I take someone shooting for the first time I grab the 513 and a brick of Winchester white box and start them off the same way I did. I love to sit there and watch them shoot, the smile they get when they shoot one in the middle is priceless.
My US 22's consist of:
H&R M65 Reising
52C
52D
40X
40XB
Mossberg 44US
513T D&T for target scope
513T D&T for target scope & dovetail under front sight
513T Military Finish
M262 conversion kit
Air Force Rodman conversion kit.
22lr Ace upper for 1911A1 (not the true conversion kit but as close as I can find so far.
Other training rifles
Wz48 Polish trainer
Mauser DSM 34
Gustloff KKW
Heym 1950's trainer
Belgian ABL 1952
Israeli IDF 1952
No2 Mk4 Lithgow
MAS 45
MARS 115 air rifle
1950's Egyptian air rifle
there may be one or two I missed
No Mossbergs. I had a couple of commercial Mossbergs and I wasn't impressed. I don't have the space for a complete collection like MK111, so I buy what appeals to my historical and aesthetic interests.Quote:

I have a CMP Inland M1 Carbine I would like to trade for a US .22 trainer I don't have. :sos:
LOL, BUT that is a nightmare I want to avoid, which is why I am including pictures and current values in my inventory. I encrypted the file and put the password in the safe. I should probably print it out and put a hard copy in as well.Quote:

My bad...these are "Milsurps"....obviously a Model 55 is not...wish I could cancel, but...now everyone knows I'm an idiot!
I am really amazed with the obvious wonderful collections noted above, and I am not quite there, but amkj on the way, duggaboy
I've been at it for a while, but lately I've been slacking. 22's were my first
addiction and I sought the most unusual US Marked examples I could find
without needing a banker involved. This of course is becoming way more
expensive as more of us get involved and the shear numbers of rifles is
minuscule by contrast. If you want a good general guide to these wonderful
historic pieces get a copy of Thomas P Batha's book on 22 Martial Trainers,
Ray Rilings Books carries it. There have been only 2 times I ever regretted
trading a rifle and it was 2 Trainers. One was a Hoffer Thompson and the
other was a Winder Musket. I'm more inclined to collect the pieces that
appeal to me rather than everything on the list also.
Here's the list of what I collected so far:
1922 M2 Springfield
1922 M1/1 Springfield
52C Winchester US
52D Winchester US
40X Remington HB US
4162T Stevens US
MC58 H&R Reising
M12 H&R US
M82 Kimber
44US Mossberg
US AirForce 22 Adapter
