Topics are locked after 10 responses, because 99% of the time, that's enough for the board experts to answer the question.
Its a good reason to ask your question precisely (the first time) and avoid chit-chat, because you just end up wasting your 10 slots.
To answer your original question, nobody can give a definitive ID of your gun based on a scant description. There are probably 10 different makers of .22 pump guns, and that's the reality. If you're serious about getting an answer, you need to post some pictures, preferably multiple ones from different angles, and well-lit. Even then you may not get a definitive answer, but its a lot more likely.
Instructions how to post the pictures can be found in the sticky at the top of the ask the experts thread. If you don't have a camera, try your cell phone (or just borrow one).
On what your gun will shoot, again, nobody here has magical powers to possible divine what caliber gun you have. If YOU don't know, how can anyone else whose never ever seen the gun possibly know? Guns are traditionally marked with the caliber on the barrel, and occasionally on the receiver, but if you can't find any such markings anywhere, pictures probably won't help here, either.
You say its a .22. . .OK. Stipulating that you're correct about that, .22LR guns can usually safely chamber .22LR, .22 short, and .22 longs.
HOWEVER, lots of early pump guns were made in .22 short, and those guns won't (or "shouldn't") chamber .22LR. Also, there have been older pump guns make in .22 WRF and newer ones in .22 magnum.
One simple way to know is probably to see what will. . .and won't actually fit in your chamber, but you do have to know what you're doing (ie a .22LR will fit in a .22magnum gun. . .though its not really safe to shoot it), and obviously if you're messing with live ammo in and out of your gun, you have to be SUPER CAREFUL.
