Not saying anything, just asking a stupid question I guess, as it does say "high speed steel" on the barrel.
I have a Marlin 25-20 of that era that is ruined from using modern jacketed bullets, and have read some 22's made prior to about 1935 or so, should not use high velocity ammo introduced about 1936.
Anyway, I found this old rifle and want to use it, and don't want to abuse it, and so asked.
