The Springfield Model 1922 is a .22 caliber bolt action rifle. It features a 24-inch (61 cm) barrel and a 5-round magazine. It was built as a training rifle, designed to mimic the M1903 Springfield rifle for training purposes.〔The N.R.A. Book of Small Arms, By Walter Harold Black Smith, National Rifle Association of America, Military service publishing company, 1948〕 It was produced in several different versions until World War II, when shortages of materials made production of a training rifle impractical. The 1922M1 variant was introduced in 1925. This version had a new bolt head, an improved firing mechanism, modifications to the chambering, and a new rear sight. The stock was also modified to incorporate a flat based pistol grip.〔Rifles of the World, By John Walter, Krause Publications, 2006〕 The M1922M1 NRA variant was introduced in 1927. This rifle basically consisted of the improved M1 version's action in the original 1922 version stock. This version was made for civilian use only and was not purchased by the U.S. Military.〔Rifles of the World, By John Walter, Krause Publications, 2006〕 The 1922M2 variant was introduced in 1933. This version featured a simplified bolt and a shallower pistol grip on the stock.〔Rifles of the World, By John Walter, Krause Publications, 2006〕 ==See also== * Springfield Rifle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Springfield Model 1922」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
