I want to build a poor man's 1922 Springifeld .22 cal rifle. The originals are way too expensive to shoot anymore. I plan on using a 1903 receiver, 1922 .22 barrel and M2 bolt. I will need to fill in the rear extractor cut as the M2 bolt needs to rest against it (to be adjusted for headspace). I will also need to fill in the follower area and work some type of retainer for the magazine. I saw such a converstion some 25+ years ago by a local gunsmith now gone. Has anyone attempted this project?
