List of .22 military trainers

[Brutus]

Is that the one on the EE? Very nice I wish I had the cash to pick one up myself.

If it was in the last few days, yes sir that's the one.

Cheers

The Mossberg 44 US has been mentioned a few times but the Mossberg 42M(b) was also a trainer that was a lend lease to Britain.
There were also Hungarian trainers made by Lampagyar.

I think the 46 is a better platform. Slightly different bolt design ( other than the tube vs magazine of course ) and the 46 never ftf, the 42...eh...not so hot.
After a box or two you can turn dandelions to fluff at distance, with either though.
Got another incarnation in the box on the chair at the moment, promised the GF she could open it.
They are the best built 22's I've ever handled IMO...probably why I've 3 in my stable

Does anyone have a picture of an original sling for Canadian trainers?
I've a 152K with an OD military style sling, just wondering if it belongs on a trainer.

Here are two that you don't see too often
Both models of the .22 No.5 British training rifle.
Total production of around 120 units.

The No.7 is, of course the UK model but to be a complete list you'd have to include the CNo.7 as well.

the Brit RAF contract # 7 was extra special because it has and internal magazine , as most Lee Enfield trainers have and empty magwell
for empties to drop into the C#7 has that ###y ramp follower to assist feeding .

There was also a norwegian Krag trainer. And a Rolling block wtich I thought was .22, but turned out to be some Flobert cartridge.

I'm green with envy - great collection!

 

[albayo]

The only ones I haven't owned are LE II (1900), and the Springfield 87M
I have owned all the rest and a number of Mauser trainers.
Had about 28 different pieces at the height of my collecting.

There is also the Parker Hiscock as well.

Gosh, the asking price for those few surviving examples!!

It's already on there as the Israeli Remington barreled K98 .22 conversion.

I see the Cooey model 62 as listed among the commonwealth trainers. I don't believe the model 62 was a military trainer.

It was suggested by another member but my google-fu agrees with you, so i've dropped it off the list.
