Couldn't find a town map of Brussels East from the 1930s.

But I researched for old pictures and postcards of the department along that Tervueren Street.

Illustration with the map is taken from google maps and shows the situation nowadays along the Tervueren Street. We need a view to the region of house number 322 (like mentioned in the snippet). 
But I couldn't find one.

I found pictures of other parts of the Tervueren Street, close to our "search object".

Picture #1 shows a bird's view to the west. 

Picture #2 shows a view to the east. 

Picture #3 shows another view to the east. 

So we can see, along the street were buildings and stores everywhere. And probably restaurants on the first floor. And when we have a look on these pictures, we cannot imagine about a shooting range there, which provides 100 or 200 yard lanes for shooting with Swiss stutzers. At most a small indoor shooting place for gallery matches.

Biggi, the clipping on the back of the picture has nothing to do with the picture. 

The rifle in the picture does not match a Francotte rifle It matches more closely a Swiss stutzer.  Look at the pictures very close and compare. There are huge differences in the rifles.

A name like "the Twenty-Two'sers" would sound odd...  Grin  Tongue  Cool

Actually it doesn't sound odd at all.

Ask the Canadian Royal 22nd Regiment. It comes out "The Vandoos"
