Serial: 176B
Caliber: .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR Rimfire)
Finish: Parkerized Receiver & Barrel w/ Blued Small Components
Barrel Length: 24" Ordnance Steel Heavy Target Barrel
Optics/Sights: Fixed Front Blade Sight w/ Lyman No. 48B Receiver Micrometer Aperture Sight

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Developed following World War I to provide the United States military with a high-precision, low-cost training platform that mirrored the sight picture, balance, and bolt operation of the service M1903 Springfield rifle, the Model of 1922 series represents a pinnacle of military target rifle engineering. Manufactured at the historic Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts, these rifles were built to exacting match-grade specifications for military recruit instruction, National Match competition, and ROTC marksmanship programs. While the original M1922 M1 receiver introduced key design refinements over the earlier M1922, Springfield Armory later introduced the M2 bolt design—featuring headless firing pins and improved headspace adjustability—which was frequently retrofitted during arsenal overhaul or factory upgrade programs to update existing M1 rifles to full M2 firing performance. Featuring a heavy 24-inch Ordnance steel barrel dated "5-30" with the iconic Springfield Armory flaming bomb proof, paired with a Lyman 48 micrometer aperture rear sight, the M1922 M1 stands as one of the most historically significant and accurate .22 LR training rifles ever issued by the U.S. Armed Forces.
This outstanding example is a rare and highly desirable early-production U.S. Springfield Armory Model of 1922 M1 carrying ultra-low serial number 176B. While equipped with a factory-upgraded M2 bolt assembly (stamped "NS / M2" on the root and drawing number "D 28223-2" on the body), the receiver ring roll-mark explicitly designates the model as "MODEL OF 1922 M1 CAL. .22" rather than a factory-manufactured M2 receiver. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it features a 24-inch heavy target barrel ("5-30"), a crisp Lyman No. 48 receiver peep sight, and a classic finger-groove walnut stock. Exhibiting exceptional preservation, the military parkerized finish on the receiver and heavy barrel remains deep and even w/ sharp, clear roll-marks throughout the receiver bridge and barrel shank. The walnut stock shows rich grain and smooth, unmarred surfaces w/ tight wood-to-metal fitment. Mechanically, the bolt action runs slick and lockup is rock solid, while the 24-inch barrel bore is mirror-bright w/ razor-sharp rifling. Low three-digit serial number examples of the Springfield M1922 M1 with correct arsenal M2 bolt updates are highly desirable cross-over collectibles for military training rifle enthusiasts.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
