Not sure which variant of the M1922 this is...

Thanks for your reply. Do you think the scope mount holes in the front receiver ring are Armory-done? There's another set on barrel about 1.5" behind the front barrel band. With the stock and buttplate, was this a rifle built for DCM/civilian sales?

Anyone want to venture what the value might be? I paid well under $1K for it, that's why I had to buy it... I need another rifle like I need another belly button, but it seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. I had found a Winchester 67A in pristine condition for well under $200, was getting ready to leave with it, and happened to glance over and see this peeking from the end of the rack. As I said, I've only seen four of these 'in the wild' in my almost 60 years, and now I've bought two of them.

Anyone else like military .22 trainers? I have a High Wall Winder musket take-down in .22 Short as well as my other M2 and an Australian SMLE .22 trainer that was effectively unfired/NIB when I bought it in the '90s (and I haven't fired it). I had read about these as a boy, with folks like Townsend Whelen converting the M1922s to .22 Hornet and I always thought I'd love to have such a rifle, but don't think I could stand converting one today... I have enough Hornets now anyway. I also have several Win 52s (pre-A, A, C, as well as one of the USRAC/Winchester sporter repros), along with a Kimber 82 Government Target. I think I have spent much of my adult years buying the firearms that I lusted after as a boy... now I need to find the time to go out and enjoy them.
