Originally, there were shorts, longs and extra longs. The Long Rifle cartridge was developed in 1887 by Stevens, when they combined the case of the Long cartridge with the bullet of the Extra Long. The Extra Long has been obsolete for many years, and the .22 Long is rarely seen any more.

Will a Remington modell 552 gs fire 22 long?

the .22 long round is pretty much obsolete. shorts and long rifle rounds are what is most widely available now. if your rifle has stamped on the barrel, .22 short, long and long rifle, as the 550 Remington does, it will chamber all three. the .22 long round is longer in length than the short but slightly shorter than the long rifle. if it has stamped on it only .22 short, it probably won`t chamber anything longer. if it has stamped .22 long rifle then it will chamber the `long` round with no problem. call a local gun dealer.
