Questions about my 1922 .22

[Dragon 5 Actual]

Well I talked to Springfield and they are left scratching their heads but the mystery is mostly solved. I have a nice shooter and interesting conversation piece. Ill give details of it to anyone who requests them such as I have them.

@MK111 Thanks, let me do a bit more research and figure out which one I need and get a wedding paid off and I might take you up on it.

As long as you are happy with it, you don't even have to ask for different opinions.

I may have contributed some to the confusion as to what I said as I have been sent pictures by Dragon and have also corresponded with him by email. As best I can tell from the photo of the receiver ring, there is no evidence of grinding or filing. It appears to be perfectly smooth. A precise measurement of the receiver ring diameter and comparing it to a similar measurement from a 1922M1 would tell us whether or not metal had been removed. I believe some custom gunmakers removed receiver ring markings from 1903's and put their own names on the barrels and new serial numbers on the rifles. I believe Sedgley put serial numbers in the area behind the sear. I am not an expert on custom rifles and my opinion is based on somewhat limited observation of actual rifles. I said I could see no evidence of the receiver ring having markings removed. That is a long way from saying they never were there.

Additional: There is one thing I can say for certain. The rifle has an M2 Bolt and needs an M2 magazine.

I'm not going to jump in on this one. Just following it on both forums.
However I do have both M1 and M2 orginals magazines available.
