Built in New Haven, this Model 9422M represents the .22 WMR variant of Winchester’s rimfire lever-action line. The Traditional series configuration and F-prefix serial range place it in the final years of production, 2002–2003.

Stocked in walnut, it has a straight-grip, checkered buttstock and a matching walnut forearm. It retains the standard lever loop, a single barrel band, a black checkered buttplate with the Winchester logo, and a length of pull of 13.75.
Sighting equipment consists of a hooded ramp front and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with elevator, providing a classic and practical iron-sight setup. Ejection is to the right side.
Feeding is via an under-barrel tubular magazine with a removable inner tube and knurled cap, offering an 11-round capacity in .22 WMR. The 9422M uses a solid-frame receiver and is not a takedown rifle.
