Does the 22 long rifle J Stevens Favorite only shoot 22 long rifle cartridges?

AnswerTypically a 22LR firearm will also fire 22 Long and 22 Shorts without issue. The issue is that magazine fed firearms usually only feed reliably with the cartridges that they are designed for. The Stevens Favorite is a single shot rifle designed to shoot .22 Long Rifle cartridges only. The reason for this is the other cartridges are too short to use in this rifle, as damage to the extractor will result. The .22 Long Rifle cartridge will fit on the open extractor and ride into the chamber with the extractor, as the breech block is closed. Shorter cartridges, such as the Short, Long, CB Cap and BB Cap are not able to fit on the extractor, thus will be placed directly into the chamber. When the breech block is closed, the extractor will be pressed into the rim of the cartridge, causing the extractor to either break or be bent out of shape. Since these are vintage guns, parts are difficult to replace, once damaged.
