U.S.
Caliber .22, M1922 MII, NRA, Browned". Campbell indicates that the DCM sold 114 of the M1922MII NRA Sales rifles which makes them a little more common than the 77 M2 NRA Sales rifles but still fairly scarce. The M1922MII is probaly the best of both worlds: NRA stock, blue finish , M2 bolt and magazine. I shoot my M2 Sales Rifle occasionally - it is a very accurate rifle.
I have "M1922MII" - Serial # 19109B - Barrel SA 8-28
I never tried to "paper" it through SRS.
If someone has the SRS Books can they

Wouldn't the SRS letter indicate where the MI version was sold (US Army contract?) and the DCM letter indicate by whom the rifle was purchased after the MII mod?
