If/When one were to make a bloop tube to extend sight radius and/or add front end weight; does firing a smaller diameter bullet down the larger diameter bore of the bloop tube create any problems?  I'm talking about a .32 diameter bullet here and I'd like the outside of of the larger smoothbore extension to match up to the outside of the original short barrel smoothly---no gas pipe thank you..   I'm envisioning a section of rifle barrel threaded onto the end of the original and turned to match.  Assuming an OD of 1 inch  what would you make the bore of the bloop tube---remembering I want some added forward weight?  could you drill out all but the last inch or two at 3/4 or so with a 45 cal hole in the muzzle section?

this is done all the time in fredericksburg.

I have a German Aydt 22 LR rifle that has a one piece octagon barrel that is bored back, about .50,  to about 18 inches from  30".  It appears to be original but I have never seen any informationon this.

i assumed that this was to give the maximum velocity out of the 22 LR ammo.

It has a schuetzen type stock and butt plate with double set triggers.

From my experience John doesn't do ugly.
