I just picked up a 1926 Pieper Bayard Herstal semi-semi-auto rifle[1], in what I think is .22 Long.
It's marked ".22L", but the 'net says it's either 22 short; or .22 short, long, or long rifle, depending on .... I have no idea.
How terrible an idea is it to use .22LR in it?
[1] or maybe it's full auto bolt action. Or Half-automatic. It's a semi-auto with last round bolt-hold-open, and no magazine. Or a single shot blowback. Each shot will eject the case and lock the bolt open, you press a button on the left side and the bolt closes and you can fire again. But no magazine.
