I hope some of them have some input. Most of what I have discovered is thanks to Michael Petrov. Tomorrow, we're going to disassemble it again, see if there are interrupted threads in the receiver. There isn't on the barrel stub, and I didn't think to look in the receiver. If there are no interrupted threads, then Niedner converted a solid frame to coil spring by his own means. I think it is a regular Hornet, no other cartridge has the base diameter I measured and the owner found a fired 22 Hornet that wouldn't fit, probably because it was fired in a more liberal chamber. I got him some new PRVI Hornet Ammo that ought to. The bore was dusty, my calipers measured a .219 bore diameter.
