    New to me M1922

    I picked this up for next to nothing. I know it isn't worth a lot after being D&T for the Fecker scope but it is still a historic rifle. Any info would be great. First post and thanks for any help.

    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.

    Thank you. I'm currently looking for Lyman 48C to fill the gap.

    trhalo, It is quite possible that your rifle came from Springfield Armory drilled and tapped for scope blocks. Those 1922M1 rifles that were made up for issue to DCM affiliated rifle clubs came drilled and tapped. They came in the NRA stock but many of those that remained in government inventory had the bolt replaced with the M2 type. Such rifles were also installed in an M2 stock. When the modification was made an additional I was stamped after the model number and an a B suffix was added to the serial number.
    If you will post or email me the serial number of the rifle I will check it against my SRS data and may be able to provide more information about the history of the rifle. Lyman 48 sights show up frequently of the big internet auction and on the gun auctions. The sight you need will have an elevation scale numbered to 125.
