I remember seeing some guns we’re chambered .22 Long, not LR

It seems it was a lengthened .22 Short to begin. 25% more capacity, a whole 5 gr. Black Powder! Hot stuff for 1871 I figure. The velocity rating, nominally, is about 50-75 fps more than a 40 gr. LR round. I guess they never marketed a “hi-velocity” version of the Long up until the .22 Stinger? But it’s 33 gr. and has a longer case.
