	It’s always interesting to see how people keep the old rifles shooting.

	Yes. Irving Page was CEO of Stevens, New England Westinghouse forced him out when they took over the company to make military rifles in WW1. After the war, according to one source I've read, he tried to regain control of the company but failed. Then he and Lewis, who had been and engineer with Stevens, formed Page-Lewis, making a very well-made little swinging-block rifle. Page died after a couple of years, and his heirs didn't want the new company, so it was sold back to Stevens, (by now owned by Savage). I've long believed that Page, who had been Stevens' money-man, was over-leveraged, so when Westinghouse wanted to do a hostile takeover, all they had to do was talk to his bankers.

	I found this thread tonight. So a question? It sounds like I can take a rolling block in 32 XL, put a .22 liner in it and that’s it. Good to go. Nothing else needs be done?

Nothing else needs be done? I think you will still need at .22 extractor. On .32 XL, the extractor pulls on the .32 rim, not the .22. The firing pin is ok.
