The Model 82 Government is a single-shot .22 LR training rifle built for precision and consistency, with a dedicated loading port and a capacity of one round. This example carries the "U S" receiver stamp tied to Government-contract rifles used for smallbore training and later known to collectors through CMP-associated surplus releases.
Its 25-inch heavy barrel has a bright in-the-white exterior and a recessed target crown, supporting stable accuracy. The bore is described as excellent with sharp rifling, reflecting careful use and maintenance.
Target-focused features include installed target sight/scope blocks on the receiver and barrel and a globe front sight. The receiver is drilled and tapped for target sight compatibility, giving users flexibility in sighting setups.
The walnut target stock is configured for position shooting with a beavertail forend, a UIT/Anschutz accessory rail, and an adjustable hand-stop. A spacer-adjustable butt with a rubber buttplate allows length-of-pull tuning; this rifle measures 13.5 inches LOP. A manual safety is located at the rear of the bolt.
