Yes it will chamber, but the rifle will not function properly unless you use the long discontinued & unique "1903 Winchester .22 automatic cartridge". Aquila made a special run of this obsolete ammunition about ten years ago and you can still find it on gun stores shelfs for $12-$15 a box of 50. Google it.

.22 Winchester auto cartridge is very different than the common .22 L.R.. The .22 Win. Auto cartridge has a larger rim and case diameter & won't interchange. The Aquila cartridge company (Mexico) made a special run of this oddball ammo & it is available in the U.S. from specialty shops for around $12-$15 a box of 50. Email me for cartridge measurements. I have an extra box of this ammo if interested.
