I came accros a Frank Wesson swinging barrel gun, made like a Hunters pet with a cast metal butt stock that attaches with a dovetail on the pistol grip. It's in 25RF and is in almost perfect shape, inside and out. the barrel is about 13/16 octagon about 14" lg and the rifling perfect.

Can anyone tell me about this guns?

Sounds like a Frank Wesson Pocket Rifle. Flayderman's will give you some details so that you can determine which model you have. There are three frame sizes and three types in each frame size, all rimfire - .22, .32, .38, .44. Charming little guns. You can make up low powered loads with .22 case primers that should work in the gun, but the action is quite weak, so they have to be cat sneeze type loads. Frank Wesson made nice guns. If yours is a .25 RF, it has been rebored, and .25 Stevens can be made according to an article in the June 2010 SSE. Have fun.
