A friend asked me to put this idea out on the web, so here goes...
He heard someone talking about how .22LR while better than it was, is still scarce in places, but there always seems to be .25ACP on the shelf...
SO, he's asking, is there a .22LR (or magnum) semi auto or lever action that could be converted? And, who would be willing to undertake the work??
What rifle(s) might be a suitable basis for the conversion?
He figures a tube magazine would be the best way to go, to avoid also having to adapt the a box mag.
NO practical use intended, just a technical exercise, so far..
he did mention some data about a 35gr HP slug at 1100fps, which would be small game capable, I would think, but that's for later..
Thoughts? pro? cons? (on the conversion, not what one could use it for)
Thanks!
