Then the tube's cartridge opening would need to be long enough for the .22 W.R.F. cartridge which is 1.160"
Vs the long rifle at under 1 inch and about .025" diameter difference.
The outside diameter of the magazine tube on my 1890 .22 W.R.F. is 0.434"
My rifle dates to 1912 #4563XX Yours dates to 1897.
