  Hello Kevin,
  
  Based on your desription, it appears that somebody monkeyed with it after it left Winchester's factory back in June of 1937. Pictures might help though.

  I seem to remember there were gallery rifles that fires .22 short only, but the loading port in the mag tube was not a bullet shaped cut out. It does sound like it is modified. Post some good pictures, Bert is one of the best to let you know what has been changed.
