Had this on Jan's a few years ago.

I picked this up in an Idaho pawn shop many years ago. A 1900 AE serial #10317. It has been converted to a 22 rim fire. The barrel was cut off forward of the serial number and a 22 barrel pinned into the receiver. The recoil spring was changed to a coil type. The original firing pin was converted to a rim fire. The rear toggle was cut down to reduce weight. An adjustable rear sight was added. The mag is an original wood bottom lined with a 22 mag (Erma?). All the numbers match. It must have been a fairly nice 1900 AE. Interesting piece anyway. Good gunsmithing and functions very well with hi-velocity 22's.
