There is a member here named A square 10 that is a very knowledgeable in .22 trainers, hopefully he will chime in soon.

I know there are at least two because I own them. The first is a Stevens model 416 and the other is a Springfield M-22. Both of these fine weapons are magazine fed bolt action .22LR of very high quality.

There must be several makers (Rem; Winchester; Stevens; Mossberg; Kimber and others) and dozens of models. See US Martial .22RF Rifles by Thomas Batha

If you're into the U.S. .22 trainers, Batha's book is a "must have". Although it has errors, it has a lot of great information. U.S. .22 trainers I own include Remington Models 513T and 40X, Harrington and Richardson M65, Mossberg 44US, Kimber 82G, and Steven 416. I also own an Army M261 and Air Force .22lr conversion kit for the M-16 rifles. Batha's book only covers rifles, but the U.S. military has also used several .22 handgun trainers - High Standard and Ruger come to mind.

The Batha book covers the US Military Trainers plus Military Target rifles and Youth rifles.
