Back then, guns were built to last a couple lifetimes.
Nice,

IMHO, an original Model of 1922 MI, issue rifle in original condition is in the top 3 or 4 of hard to find 1922 variances. Most were returned to Springfield and upgraded to M2 configuration. Having...
While I agree that the rifle has been too severely modified to properly restore, it is interesting. One question, is the rifle's serial number etched on the bottom of the bolt? SN 8494 is not found...
Thanks for posting the photos. You have a nice M2.

fjruple,
Unfortunately no. Unlike 1903's that were marked "A2", M2's received no additional identifying marks.
Would you mind posting a picture of the bolt's etched serial number. I am...
To your first question, there are no SRS listings on your three rifles.

Obviously, this man was driven to succeed, not only academically, but also as a world class marksman. He even excelled at living, making it to the ripe old age of 98. He was quite remarkable.

Yes, it still has the dual striker bolt.

The last month or so, I have been watching a rifle listed for auction with a potentially interesting history. The rifle, a Springfield Model of 1922, SN 129, finally came up for auction last...
Thank You.
I have 1807B, which I believe is an authentic double-converted M1922.

That is interesting. I would have expected it was present on that low of a serial number. Are you sure it is not clogged up?
Art
Yes, looks very interesting but unfortunately your image is still too small to read.

Kragrifle,
Thank you for checking your rifles and providing the data.
It appears that there are two transitions, (1) when they stopped installing the bolt-stops and (2) when they stopped...
Just how many babies are we talking about? :icon_e_surprised:
Except for a fleeting comment in Brophy’s book, little is said about the presents of a bolt-stop on the Model of 1922 rifle. To ease single-round feeding, the bolt-stop feature was designed to...
For whatever reason, British royalty ready seems to interest the missus. :icon_queen:

My wife says that there are probably no more then 10 people in the country that are interested in the obscure data I spend by time digging for. :icon_study: Now I can tell her there are 11! ...
What is the barrel date on your rifle? Again, it appears that the marking did not appear until 10-26.
Art
From my research of M1922M1s on line, the "LONG RIFLE CART'GE ONLY" warning first appears on 10-26 dated barrels.
Art
PS. - Headspace on the 1922s was set at 0.042".
Very nice piece of wood you have there. Shame they couldn't have designed a stock that didn't feel like a 2X4". Also, a shame that no after-market stocks seem to be available for the Model 12's. ...
I finally found a reference to the mystery "A" suffix.
In W.P. Eyberg's Man at Arms article, Jan/Feb 1985, page 22, he comments:
G. Other conversions will be encountered from time to time...
I just lucked out on these two from Morphy's June auction. They actually had several very nice 1922 series rifles. Almost like a collection was being liquidated.

The top is a correct...
That is an interesting premise. You would think that existing inventory would be checked and verified before a SN was modified.
