Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Why not 25, 32 or 40 cal rimfire?

I appreciate that Gene. Thats alot more than I knew. This one is a type 2 then.

The Power of Google. Took about two minutes to find it.

I feel even more stupider than usual. I googled on "frank wesson tip up rifle" and that particular site did not show up for at least 5 pages. I should have googled on the whole stamp.

Would you do the conversion on an antique that goes for that price range? I'm a bit confused since last night some auctions were getting up to $2000 for type 2's. Two years ago, they were right in the range of your post.

I wouldn't convert a rifle worth $2000 as is. You can only take away from the value. It's a nice-looking rifle as it is.

It's obviously a black powder rifle. If you converted to a .22 LR, I am not sure the action would take the pressure.

The magazine article I quoted was from G&A. I don't know the date; things may have changed since then.

FYI, SOG has .32 Long rimfire listed for $25 for a box of 50.

Newly manufactured, and supposedly safe in older rifles.

Gene, I owe you one, or more. Thanks muchly.
