Yes they would both be M1906. The boys rifle receiver is dated 1907 with a low 4 digit serial number. The original and damaged receiver on the .22 Cal trainer version was / is also dated 1907. Also a four digit. The barrels, receivers and most numbers were matching, so the .22 Cal rifle was not a replacement barrel installed onto a 6.5X55 rifle. It was an arsenal built .22

The mangled receiver we replaced with a later one that is dated 1915. And yes the stock is a cut-down M1894 rifle. The .22 Cal trainer would have had the same slimmed down stock dimensions as the Boys rifle. I have considered using the boys rifle stock as a pattern to copy and have a replacement made, but I don't dare risk damage and don't want to send it off.

If anyone has a Norwegian M1906 boys rifle stock for sale, I'm you pigeon. I think the wood is called "unobtainium".

If I post a picture of the mangled .22 receiver, you will cry. So we did the next best thing and she is back on the firing line.
