It was sold in 1936 by DCM. The sales letter describes it as "Rifle, U.S.iconCaliber .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

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The rfiles were very expensive - $59.61 for a M922MII and $59.60 for an M2. The Depression was still in full force and the M1922MI and M2 rifles were target rifles with limited appeal.
    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?
