Questions
« on: January 19, 2006, 02:33:26 PM »
I have in my possession what i have been told is a winchester 1885 lowwall chanbered in 22 K-hornet, but after some comparison I have noticed that it is neither a K hornet or a Regular hornet. As best as i can describe it is like a regular hornet b ut the bottleneck is just a little further down on the cartridge. The bottle neck is not as drastic as a K-hornet, pretty much the same angle as the regular. What I was thinking is that since the gun has a custom barrel on it that someone may have messed up the chamber. Is this possible or is it some sort of wildcat?
Just wonderin.

thanks

Sounds Like you have a .22 WCF (Winchester Center Fire) the original cartridge that the .22 Hornet was based on.
