Springfield M1922M1
I purchased this fine Springfield .22 training rifle at last July’s Kansas City gun show. It was made in 1926 and is in unaltered nearly new condition.These rifles were hand built and have a beautiful commercial blue finish. The M1 was replaced by the parkerized M2. The commercial factories complained to the government that they were making commercial rifles and they couldn’t compete . Springfield stopped making the M1 22 cal. In 1930 after a little under 20,000 had been made. About a third of these were altered to M2 specifications. The beauty and quality of these rifles will never be equaled again.
