Overview
The Marlin Model 922M is an American semi-automatic rimfire rifle chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, produced by Marlin Firearms from 1993 to 2001. Built on a blowback action feeding from a 7-round detachable box magazine, it paired Marlin's MicroGroove barrel with a Monte Carlo black walnut stock. As one of the few reliable semi-automatic .22 Magnum rifles of its era, it earned a following among small-game hunters and plinkers, and its short production run has made it a sought-after collectible.
