    And don't forget the M1M2 variation, distinct from the 1922M1 with M2 bolt replaced.

      How do you identify the M1M2 Variation? What is the story of their origination?

        Briefly, these will have 1922M1 receivers, barrel dates of 1935-1937, NRA stocks and will be finished in very nice blued finish. Barrel dates well into the M2 time frame. I have one with both the 1922M1 bolt and M2 bolt, and the other with the M2 bolt. The two I have came from respectable sellers 10 years apart. I have discussed this with others, but to date have found no data describing this model.

              As far as sighting goes. 50 feet and 50 yards are the same sight setting. 50 yards to 100 yards, come up 8 MOA. For 50 yards to 200 yards, come up 27 MOA. I suspect your sight is 1/4 minute clicks.

                  An original Lyman 48 common to the M2 would have 1/2 minutes clicks.
                  FWIW
