kent Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Were these not chambered for the .22 short round ? this is an LR yes? Reason is I have been keeping half an eye open for a short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason is I have been keeping half an eye open for a short The BSA pumps are actually marked .22 Long cal, so strictly speaking I should change the advert to .22 rimfire. It will of course easily shoot the .22 Short. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its chambered .22 long then not LR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Basher Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes, it's chambered .22 Long. As I understand it, the case dimensions for Long and Long Rifle are the same, it was the bullet weight and therefore length that was different.

kent Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have never even seen a .22 long though I thought I once read that one way round was ok the other wasn't but I am far from sure on that one, well before our time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Basher Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Please note, this is a .22 rimfire rifle and requires a FAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
