The list early on in the thread was nice, but there were US (I need to keep in mind this is an international boeard - please forgive the occasional chauvanistic lapse) military, or military-style .22s before 1922, including at least the following (all are expensive):

(1) Winchecter conversion of 1870 Springfield (made under Remngton license) .50-70 Navy rifle
(2) 1898 Krag - finished rifles and barreled actions for field conversion)
(3) Winder musket (based on the M1885 low-wall)
(4) Springfield Hoffer-Thompson

(1) is VERY rare, less than 100 made (looking, wistfully)
(2) rare, about 800 made, but can be found. I have one of these.
(3) probably the only fairly "common" one of the group (don't want one - collect SA stuff only)
(4) rare, and few have survived (looking, wistfully)
