Anyone have a Springfield 1922 M2 that's been sporterized? I found one a few years ago and while nicely done I'm looking for inspiration for taking it to the next level. Pics of your rifle sought for ideas, details of work and smith(s) who did it also welcomed.

GW: I have one that was converted to centerfire, rebarreled and rechambered to .22 Hornet, and restocked. It was done by Gary Stiles, a now deceased member of the American Custom Gunmakers' Guild.

What are you looking to do? You always could start with a NRA Sporter stock and make modifications similar to what high end gunsmiths did “back in the day.”

I had one for about 15 years...sold it a couple of years ago when I downsized the .22 Rifle collection.
Don't know who did the work but the gun was a high polished blue with jeweled bolt. The banded front sight had been replaced with a ramp with a Lyman 17A front sight. Still had the original Lyman receiver sight but was also D&T for a scope base. Was a VERY accurate rifle. Action was so slick you could open, cycle and close with one finger...
The stock was original and just an oil finish...
Will see if I can find a picture...
Friend of mine had an original...serial number 3....
