I have been looking into converting my 10/22 to a .17 caliber myself. I do know for a fact that you can only convert it into a .17 mach 2. A 10/22 mag is required to convert it into a .17 HMR.

Quick answer, yes you need a magnum reciever. Magnum Research has a 17HMR in semi auto.
Check Rimfirecentral.com there is quite a bit of information there on the topic. The conversions are not just a simple barrel swap out. |

yeah you need a 22 mag reciever because the 17 HMR is a necked 22 mag

I thought you also needed a different bolt or bolt spring too.

In order to convert a Ruger 10/22 (long rifle, not magnum) to 17HM2, you must purchase a barrel and heavy bolt handle kit (unless you plan to reline your barrel, change some springs, etc). The cheapest/best kit out there right now is the EA Brown & Co. kit. It is $159.00 before shipping for the factory contour barrel and bolt handle.
For more info, visit the 17HM2 forum on rimfirecentral.com. Eric
