Very Scarce 1922 Production U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1922 Bolt Action Training Rifle, Serial Number "488"

One of 2,020 Model 1922 bolt action rimfire rifles manufactured by the U.S. Springfield Armory c. 1922-1924, with this three-digit serial number example (serial number "488") made during the first year of production in 1922. These rifles were intended to serve as cadet training rifles chambered in .22 LR that closely followed the design of the Model 1903 service rifle. Most M1922 rifles were subsequently converted to the later improved M1 and M2 configurations, making unaltered examples with a high level of retained finish such as this specimen exceedingly scarce on the U.S. collector market. Features a fixed blade front sight and Lyman 48C pattern adjustable micrometer peep rear sight attached to the right side of the receiver, "S A/flaming bomb/6-22" marked barrel, and "W L/3" marked bolt correctly without an electro-stenciled serial number on the body, as this practice was not yet implemented. Fitted with a "sporter" profile pistol grip walnut stock with cupped checkered buttplate and correct unmarked M1922 pattern blued magazine with extended base. Includes a Kerr "NOBUCKL" marked web sling.

ConditionVery fine, retaining 90% plus original blue finish with some light edge wear, some minor patches of brown patina/spotting visible mostly on the buttplate and trigger housing, and some minor handling marks. The re-oiled stock is fine with some minor compression and handling marks along with attractive raised grain. Mechanically excellent.
