That's like catching a unicorn fart in a mason jar and trying to make it smell better.
But to answer your question, I don't see why it couldn't be done with a barrel blank, a mill, a lathe and a reamer. May be able to sleeve the original barrel but it might end up a little thin.

A acquaintance that I see at my LGS did one and he claims it runs fine. If memory serves he had the KT barrel sleeved.

I assume it's blowback? Didn't a few of the .17HMR rifles get pulled because of case separations?

.17 HMR is generally regarded as not reliable/unsafe for semi-auto use. I seem to remember something about differences in load specs between manufacturers, but it could have also been because of the overall design of the cartridge.
