Anyone heard of a gunsmith of this name? Just picked up a 1922 converted to 22 Hornet. Magazine conversion unlike any other I have seen. E. F. Spicer stamped on the bottom of magazine and on stock with small one piece stamp.
I know, just what I need, another Hornet.

Fred Spicer? He was/is in Missoula. At least he was in the early '70s.
