10. They're excluded..
`(B) does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.'.

13. That means that the Henry rifle in 44-40 (repo), 44 Henry Flat(original)
would then be illegal. Also the M1866 in 38WCF( 38-40 Winchester), 32WCF(32-20 Winchester), and 25WCF(25-20 Winchester) would also be illegal, as would the M1873, 1892, and all of the repops of these rifles. ALL of them are chambered for centerfire cartridges and have tube magazines holding from 12-15 rounds.
