    I have a simple rechambering project I need done in Houston or vicinity.
    .22 lr to .22 Hornet or possibly .22 Jet.
    Barrel is off-action already.
    Quality work only please.

    You know those two cartridges are centerfire and the hornet doesn't even use the same caliber bullets as .22 lr right? I was also looking a little more and .22 jet needs a faster twist rate than .22 lr.

    Probably will need to have a new bolt made, and the action it's self might be too short for the over all length of these catridges.

    It is for a 10 inch long 12/.22lr shotgun adapter. No bolt mod necessary.
    The bullet dia. difference is nominal at .002.
    Many .22lr barrels have been rechambered to .22 mag. (.224 bullet) w/ no difficulty or problems.
    Twist rate is not important to me as I will reload cast bullets only and vary velocity.etc to get the accuracy I require. I am not looking for a 'hot' load.

    So, who can do it?
