Kid,
Nice rifle, I'm sure you will be pleased with the 1922's abilities. I have also acquired a 1922 this spring. It is a MI converted to a MII. My results at 25 and 50 yards were similar, dime...

First post time. I joined a few weeks ago and have been viewing the forum without posting. I'm a post WWII baby and just about ready to retire. My Father served in the ETO from 1942 to 1945. My older...
