Hi all, came across the forum while investigating a family heirloom that is in my possession now. A model 1899 that appears to have been manufactured in 1915. Still getting some reloading data together but if anyone should have some handy and want to share would be greatly appreciated. Guess it wouldn't hurt to note that it is a 22 HP now would it?
