.22 WRF was/is uncommon in the UK, but if a customer wanted something, the customer got it. Possible in this case, too. Is the barrel original Winchester, with a .22 WRF chamber marking? Or is it a replacement? Does the liner have Metford rifling?
Is the gun itself "new" enough to be an original .22 WRF (I think that became available in 1890, so a LOT of lowalls COULD have been so chambered; tho few were).
Never heard of a Metford rifled .22, let along a liner, but that may just be 'Mercan pig-ignorance on my part.
I have, and love, a .22 WRM Lowall made out of a wrecked .22 plus parts and elbow grease. You'll love yours if the liner is in good shape.
