Springfield 22 Not Marked as a 1922

[Rick the Librarian]

I agree - the .22 sold by Springfield Armory, was hardly "cheap". The cost was pretty close to that charged for their M1903 service rifles.

Finally got it cleaned up and back together. Here are the pictures. The more I look, the more I agree it is after market, but it works.

Yes, someone did drill it (attempted) for scope mounts and they did a horrible job.

Does anyone happen to have a spare Lyman 48C w/ screws laying around that they wish to sell?

Just for show, I picked this one up also.

This one is going to be my Standard Class Small Bore Silhouette rifle. The one up top is going to be my Hunter Class rifle once I can find the Lyman 48C.

For a short period of time in the 1930's the nomenclature of the third variation of the 1922 series Springfield rifles was "1922M2" after that time the 1922 was dropped from the nomenclature and the rifle was marked as and called simply the M2 Rifle. The incorrect term "1922M2" is almost universally used when describing the M2 Rifle on the internet auctions and forums.

Thanks Herchell. I am trying to get better educated on the M2's. Never had one until now and don't see many in this area. I am a big fan of the 03-A3 and try to learn all I can about them. They are my go to rifle(s).

One thing I can say about these M2's, they are very accurate. I have tried Walther's, Remington's, Winchester's and CZ's, but these are more accurate from what little I have shot them these past few days.
