Interesting 1903 22 Cal Conversion

[GeorgeG]

A friend recently brought in a M1903 22 caliber conversion of some sort. It's in what appears to be a no-bolt full length stock, with no hand guard. The barrel is an SA, dated 3-08 and is not sleeved. The chamber is milled forward of the area where the original '06 chamber would be. This requires use of a bolt extension held by the '03's extractor. There are no marking on the piece, other than on the barrel and on the magazine which is from a Savage .22. I've never seen anything like this and assumed it was done many years ago by a creative gunsmith. Could anyone comment on what this actually is? A few pictures are attached.
