    Gary Cooper's .22 Hornet

    The close up pictures of Cooper's .22 Hornet on the previous post show that it was built on the M1922M1 .22 caliber Springfield. This is consistent with the G&H ad appearing in the January 1931 American Rifleman. The following is quoted from that ad: "We will rechamber your .22 L.R . Springfield for the .22 'Hornet' cartridge, change the bolt from rim-fire to center fire, and re make the extractor for $15. For building in .22 'Hornet' cartridge magazine , to give perfect service , our price is #15."
    FWIW
