US British and Canadian .22 Military Rifles

[Ben Cartwright]

I am thinking of expanding my collecting interests a bit (hope the wife doesn't find out) into .22 caliber military rifles. I was wondering if there is some kind of list or if people couple point out to me what stuff is out there.
I currently have a Remington 513T US Property marked and waiting on an Enfield .22 trainer I just bought from a dealer.
Also what to look for and what to look out for.

Thanks

I have a Cooey model 82 Canadian trainer and a Savage 42m(b) trainer which was sent to England under the lend lease agreement. The savage is marked U.S. Property and has british proof marks.
The two on the left are Cooey 82 and the one with the scope is the 42m(b)

Thanks for the list, the pistols will be an problem in Massachusetts as they have to have either been previously owned and registered in Mass or on the list of acceptable "safe" handguns.

at least I have a start, will now start watching for other pieces.

Of course when my boys were younger they loved the 10/22's and could go through a brick in a couple hours, now I am shooting for score and taking my time and having fun so use less ammo

I got my Enfield 22 trainer, I don't know much about them will be learning. It doesn't look like the barrel is sleeved. It appears made in 1942.
What can you guys tell me about it?

Indeed a very odd looking example...the Aussie #6 ex rifle had a receiver like that...but the square part in front of the rear sight is still wrong. Can't wait to find out what's the poop on this?

[Ben Cartwright]

I took it apart and all the metal under the wood had a greenish coating on it, under that was a very nice blue, also the barrel had a different number on it with the serial number of the receiver stamped on it as well

How extremely frustrating!
All the photos are reasonably sharp, EXCEPT the photo of the left side of the receiver, which may hold the clue to the whole construction - I think there has been a bit of "cut & paste" applied here.
The greenish surface on the barrel makes me think "Indian", but as I explained in detail on another thread, it is important to look carefully at what is actually in front of your eyes before diving in with preconceived ideas.

PLEASE post a clear photo of the left side of the receiver! And another of the right side, showing the backsight section.
