Remington still offers their Model 552 Speedmaster tubular magazine semi-auto. It will fire 22 short, long and long rifle interchangeably. I believe it is derived from the Remington Model 550, which was introduced in 1941, so Mr. Raab's statement about such rifles dating back half a century is essentially correct.
