	Yes but not many. I have seen one for sale at auction. Check out the other thread on Hepburn Calibers I believe there’s at least one on there of Tony’s.

	Not only was the Hepburn chambered in .22RF, but there are also two known Walker Hepburns chambered in .22LR also! Page 37 of John Gyde's wonderful book on Remington .22 Rimfire Rifles shows serial #2 Walker Hepburn as a beautiful Schuetzen offhand rifle in .22LR. John mentions a few other serial numbered Hepburns in .22LR he's observed, but the total made or even discovered is very few.

That one has a Parker liner in it, and no picture showing the caliber stamp on the bottom of the barrel to know what cartridge it was originally chambered for? At the least it's got a barrel reline, or cartridge change? (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Sent the seller a question asking about the original cartridge marking.

	I questioned the seller too to confirm if it was a 22 LR. All he would commit to so far is its a 22 RIMFIRE.

	I only have one "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION N.Y." marked barrel to compare to the rollstamp on the Hepburn listed on Gunbroker. I'm sure that Remington used different rollstamps through the years, but this one looks really sloppy compared to the one I have. In particular look at the "T" in REMINGTON, and the "S" in ARMS. Then start looking at other letters. Maybe I'm just being too suspicious.

	I'm not a complete idiot, some of my parts are missing.

	For curious minds, this Hepburn went for $3575.00.
