I inherited my Grandfather's target rifle that he used to shoot in the navy during WWII. I never thought to ask him the history of the rifle and don't know alot about it. Any help, history or knowledge is appreciated. I can't imagine ever selling the rifle but what is the approx value in excellent condition? The markings are as follows:
Us
Springfield
Armory
Model of 1922
Cal..22
502
This is on the receiver, ahead of the chamber.
On the barrel, behind the front sight, is S.A. with the bomb marking under it and the 4-36 date under that.
The rear sight is a lyman or williams peep type and the front sight is a lyman. The stock forearm doesn't have the groove on both sides. It is like a conventional rifle stock with checkering on both sides. I wish I could post a picture but can't at this time. Thank you in advance. As a side note, the rifle is wicked accurate and will shoot 1/4 inch groups at 50 meters with boring regularity. It's heavy but no squirrel is safe when I hunt with it.
