	I don't think so, the action is weak. The twist might give you an idea, 22LR looks faster. Be careful, Aaron

	I thought mine was marked 22 LR, but I'll dig it out tomorrow and check. What ever it is, the bullets tumble and make a 6 foot group at 100 yds

	Most, if not all of these were designed/chambered for the 22 BB/CB (= 6mm Flobert) cap and even with a stronger Warnant patent rifle, I'd not risk using anything else (i.e. 22 short), even if it does chamber. As with much of life, it's a matter of personal responsibility and rolling the dice, if one chooses to be adventurous.

	IF somebody takes out a Flobert and goes to the firing line and loads it, I make sure I am not around close enough for any kind of Shrapnel to get me, Preferably behind something substantial.

	No caliber marked on mine. How could it be significantly weaker than a cast Ballard or Trapdoor?

	The Sears & Roebuck ad at the bottom of this thread is interesting. Doubt if you would see a comment like that in today's advertising. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Admittedly not the finest nor the strongest rifles in the world but I have used mine quite a bit with modern .22 LRs, it likes Mohawks best, with no problems. Lined by CC Johnson but I have no idea who did the rest of the work. Mike
