Longs (22 Short bullet in the case for 22LR {latter came along nearly a decade after the Long, and some three decades after the Short}) left routine production some time back. No new guns firing Longs (and those only) have been produced since World War I or so.

CCI has been turning out 22 CB Longs in small batches: low pressure, low velocity, safe for the older guns. Or they did until the most recent market scrambles.
