    Are you sure thats not WRF not WFR? WRF is a caliber that was developed in the late 1800's and was used by several gun makers. WRF=Winchester Rim Fire. It started out as black powder then smokeless and is now being produced by CCI. It looks similiar to a 22 magnum rimfire.

    Let us know when you get it and maybe we can help identify it. It is a fun caliber, I have several and they shoot hard for a 22 and make a nice crack. Maybe you wont need any parts.
