Consider having the barrel drilled and lined with 22 barrel liner.
It gets drilled with a long piloted drill, a 22 barrel sleeve gets soldered or epoxied in.
Then the barrel gets chambered and machined for any extractor cut-outs and such.
The firing pin will probably work as is.
Or, perhaps you could make up sleeves that adapt to fit a .22 rimfire into the 25 chamber.
It would be a pain to pick them up and re-sleeve though, I expect they would be delicate.
This gun was in nice condition. He is asking $500.
He had other Steven's Favorites in 22LR, but they were not in the same condition. He was only asking $150 for them...
Any idea what it would cost to have something like that done? (barrel sleeve)
Thanks, Larry
As mentioned , you've got to find out locally.
Last time I asked it was relatively cheap.
The action stays on the barrel, the smith already has the tools and
after all it's "just a .22".
You can't justify charging as much as bench rest match grade centirefire work.
