I have an 1890 made 1908, .22 Long. I was wondering about the value of the .22 Long compared to guns chambered in .22 Short and .22 LR. I can not find any Longs that sold.

Longs & Shorts are most common, Long Rifles are scarcest, but model & condition are more important than chambering.

The 22 long is the least desirable of the 4 calibers offered.
Long rifles are the most sought after, 22 shorts sell well followed by the WRF and then comes the long.
As mentioned, graded condition is the biggest factor. If it’s a high condition example it will sell at a premium regardless of chambering.
Hope this helps……

From an antique collectors stand point the WRF will always bring a premium. The long and short are the least desirable but the most common. From a shooters stand point the LR is the best because of availability of the cartridge. If you collect 1890’s you need all 4 but there is no such thing as an antique LR.
