Interesting 1903 22 Cal Conversion

[Promo]

Yes, the trigger guard originates from a M1917, and the screws in it .. well, they originate from the metal store down the road.

Frank, I didn't take the bolt out as the rear sight had to be removed to do so. The front end of the bolt looked like it may have been a Remington 513, but that's just a guess. The back was modified such that the '03 extractor held it. No idea how the firing pin was actuated - maybe the '03 firing pin acts like a transfer bar? My friend said he would fire the thing to see if it works. I'll report back on that. Thanks for the responses.

The stock definitely has no bolts or pins although it's been heavily modified to accept the conversion. I though maybe rod bayonet, but didn't see the filler in the front end. There is some sort of marking on the front, but it's illegible.

Is that a no bolt stock? I can't tell if it's a one bolt, or no bolt.

I'm still fascinated by this. lol

Agreed, this is one that should be captured and examined closely. Doesn't matter who did it or what for, it's a neat idea and innovative.
