The .22 long rifle cartridge originated from the Flobert BB Cap of 1845, and was developed by the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company in 1887 by combining the casing of the .22 Long with the 40 grain bullet of the .22 Extra Long. Rifles, carbines and pistols of all shapes and sizes have been produced ever since.
