	I recently purchased a No.2 marked ".22" on the barrel. From Roy's book, it appears to pre 1889. Should I assume it's a .22 long? If so, any issue firing .22 LR through it? Mike.

	If a .22 lr will go into it, it's safe to fire it.

	I believe that if it’s chambered for .22 long, it will have 1 in 20 twist…long rifle barrel has a faster twist. Tom Klinger

	A very strong action for any .22RF cartridge. As mentioned if it will accept a .22LR, i's fine to shoot it in the #2.

	I have an 1890 Winchester in 22 Long. Chambers and shoots LR just fine.
