This weekend found a lovely Springfield Armory Model 1922M1 in basically brand new shape. Barrel is marked 7/30 (yes, it's that old). Haven't shot it yet...still deciding whether to keep it or sell it.

From what I've been able to find out...sounds like a very accurate and neat rifle.

Had one several years ago and they are indeed a classic rifle with great heritage. Mine was in fair shape, but it shot quite well and due to a major move in location sold quite a few of my rifles but should have held on to that one. Great find for you.

yes, great find. Good luck

You will really like it.

Biebs found this one for me. 1926 barrel date.

Theses are wonderful rifles, legendary rifles. If I ever brought one home, they'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Yep. I would love to have one!

There are many different variants. Not all parts are interchangeable, especially the magazines. Original magazines are almost non-existent.

Mine is an M2 model, one of the last, dated 8/42. Mine shoots very accurately and is not very fussy about different brands of ammo.

I do not know about different variants, but I am told the M2 was an upgrade and was done to all the M1 that they cold find. Mine is a M2 with matching numbers and a 4-26 barrel date.

A real classic, I remember when the guild gun was a Springfield 22...That was in 1993 as I recall..awesome gun and I got to shoot it.
