I didn't know they made a rimfire 1873, of course, there's a lot of things I don't know I guess.

No loading gate in the side-plate, is there a removable magazine tube or some such?

The 22 rimfire isn't often found in these older guns and when you do find them, they are usually 22 short. Both of these guns being 22 long is the fun part of owning them. Another thing you will never find in an old 22 rimfire, is a good bore. Both of these have bright bores, which is more rare than finding the gun.

This is a picture of the 22 Long 1873 and the magazine that pulls out of the magazine tube...
