Not AR related mods move it if you need to. I have an old single shot .22LR rifle I would like to have rechambered into .22 mag. Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks in advance. |

www.chuckhawks.com/22mag.htm Depends on the rifle and action. The .22 mag is a whole different cartridge from the .22LR in terms of pressure and, IIRC, bore diameter. Rechambering to mag is probably not feasible. YMMV |
Its a bolt action single load single shot. Its a Colt I 22. Very very accurate. We shoot pennies off 2X4s at 100 yards with it any day of the week. With a scope of course. Yes Ive thought of this and my rifle "i think" should have plenty enough barrel material to handle the .22MAg. I have one of those dinky little American Arms mini revolvers chambered in 22 mag and the rifle I would like to convert has tons more meat in the chamber area than the little revolver. I would like to find a smith though that could confirm or disapprove my thoughts. The .22 mag does fit into the feed area. |
