It has to be like photo but in .22 so I can fit it to a 25-20 SS rim when I chamber it. I'm Dan at kgowe@comcast.com

Sleeve just the chamber, now that's a neat idea. Saves buying a barrel liner or setting the barrel back. Just how is this done? I think I have an idea, but if you have the procedure, I'm interested.

	I may be reading too much into this but I might just install a barrel liner. This way I won't have to set back the barrel and re-adjust the main spring and forearm attachment points. I just want to make sure that the liner will clean up the barrel breech end, as it is oversize (at .438") which is oversize for the 25-20 SS. It has a rim OD matching close to the .35/.357 +-. I see the liner drill from Brownell's is 7/16" OD (.4375"). The 25-20 Brownells barrel liner OD is .435". I think after drilling and with the epoxy filler it will clean up without any gaps at the breech face. This will keep the barrel at 24" too. Then chamber it for 25-20 SS. Still undecided as it has a good bore. What would you do? (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	What would I do? Since the barrel has a "good bore", I'd be inclined to sleeve the chamber. Bill Lawrence

	its about 357 magnum rim. I'd look at 256 mag.my Ruger #1 is pretty accurate in that caliber
