Then, when they got around to the .25-20 repeater, no matter from where, they again used the WRF suffix. Winchester never went in for using the name of a competitor on their products. Other makers were about as bad, just not as many of their products are seen. How about all the pistol makers that "stole" the .44WCF, and started calling it things like .44-40 and whatever else. Just oldtime business ethics. 25-20 wrf? Didn't Maynard chamber the 25-20 before Stevens did?

	Some Winchesters were marked with the early cartridge as 25-20wcf. Later, after the new cartridge was developed, it got the same name. Maybe I had the Stevens and Maynard part bassakwards. Either way, the point was that Winchester didn't like to see some other manufacturers name on their stuff. Forgive me?

	Nothing to forgive. I was just wondering how I missed running into the 25-20 Winchester Rim-Fire?

	Ahh, now I see!! More of my terrific fat-fingered typing. I'm a pretty good speller- not so much a proofreader.
