I have an 1885 Low-Wall that started life as a .22short.
Someone long, long ago rebarreled it with a Winchester model 52 barrel, so now it shoots .22lr.
They did a great job and it is a beautiful gun.
It is just plain a joy to shoot.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
