yes . but look below if quantrill's right then You learn somthing new

 

[Quantrill]

It can. It is not supposed to be. It will split and hot gases will go where they are not supposed to. Don't do it!! Quantrill

There not designed to fire in the same chamber, thats why gun manufacturer's usually supply a .22 long cylinder that fits the .22 magnum gun.

Buy a Ruger Single Six in .22LR it will come with an extra cylinder for the .22 Magnum cartridge

you will probably have a lot of misfires because the 22 lr rim is thinner than a magnum rim and the fring pin might not reach the rim. as mentioned before the case will probably split if it does go off

Actually very few .22s come as convertibles.
