You can use in the same rifle, .without change of parts, .22 short, long 
and long-rifle cartridges. This is an excellent arm for target work as 
well as rabbits, squirrels, hawks and all small game up to 200 yards. 
The ammunition is cheap, giving much enjoyment at little expense. 
In our four distinct models-—the solid top is always a protection anil 
keeps powder and gases from blowing back; the side ejection allows in¬ 
stant repeat shots, without the possibility of throwing an ejected shell 
in4^ your face or eyes; the removable sideplate or take-down construction 
makes them the easiest of all .22s to keep clean.
