Unusual .22 cal 1922 full stock with '03 barrel sight

Friends,
I have acquired a .22 cal M1922II of a configuration I have never seen before.
The receiver is marked "U.S. Springfield Armory M1922 II cal..22 10498" The second "I" is slightly lower from the line of the first "I."
The rifle has a full straight, finger groove, stock - just like a M1903 rather than the common sporter stock. There are no stampings on the stock of any kind. The receiver is drilled and tapped on the right side for a receiver sight - but, there is no receiver sight and the stock isn't inlet to allow one. Instead it has a standard '03 barrel sight. the barrel is dated 3-32. It even has a bayonet lug. The butt plate does not have a trapdoor.
Can anyone tell me what I have? I've never seen anything like this.
Thanks for any help, suggestions or thoughts on where I could look for more information.

Is it .22 or 30:06 If 30:06 someone used a M1922 receiver to build a rifle.

It's .22 Long Rifle. Shoots really good, too :)

That is no problem. Turn down the barrel to the diameter required to fit the M1903 rear sight base and slide it on (plus adding a normal full length stock and remove the Lyman 48C rear sight (if it wasn't already missing and is the reason for the added rear sight base).

Did you ever remove the handguard and check the area below the rear sight base, whether it's bare blank metal?

Ah! Maybe so. I'll remove the handguard and also take some photos (if I can figure how to load them to the website). Very interesting idea. Thank you.

When you remove the hand guard, slide the hand guard and barrel band forward together. If you just try to remove the band first you will probably bugger the wood.

I agree that it sounds like a 1903 stock on a modified 1922 rifle.

Johnny Peppers -
Thanks! I hadn't taken an '03 apart in a long time and I surely would have messed up the stock - and, the stock is in good condition. Whew!

Just since I'm curious: is the stock a no-bolt, single bolt or two bolt stock? And is the stock marked on the tip? Would be looking forward to see pictures of the rifle!

Also regarding your comment that the second I of the "M.II" is hand marked: those rifles were reworked from M1922, M1922 M.I to M2 specs, therefore also the markings on the receivers were added. I also have one of those.

It is a straight stock; single bolt. There is no mark at the tip of the stock (I don't know what that would signify).
I'm hoping to get it apart and post photos late this afternoon or evening.
Is it significant that there is no "A" or "B" added to the serial number? I was under the impression that when a 1922 or 1922MI was upgraded to m2 the serial number acquired a "A" or "B" - although obviously this example was upgraded.

I hate to admit this guys but I've spent 90 minutes trying to post photos....and can't manage it. I've followed the instructions but something is wrong. I'm certainly no computer guru. I'll keep messing with it but it looks like I won't be posting any photos. I'm sorry for having taken up your time.
