I see more and more of these single shots coming in for rechambering work as well as muzzle brakes and scope base modifications and thought I would list some of work I am doing on these guns over here...

Rechambering options for some of the more popular calibers:

22lr. to 22 magnum...

22 Hornet to 22 K-Hornet...

223 to 223 Ackley Improved, 222 Rem. Mag. Improved and 5.6X50R Improved...

22-250 to 22-250 Ackley Improved and 22X307 Improved...

243 Win. to 243X307 Improved and 6mm Rem. Improved...

25-06 to 25-06 Ackley Improved...

7mm-08 to 7mmX307 Improved and 7mmX444 Improved...

30-30 to 30-30 Ackley Improved, 30-40 Krag and 308X444...

308 to 307 Improved, 308X444 Improved and 7.62X54R...

30-06 to 30-06 Ackley Improved...

357 magnum to 357 Maximum...

35 Whelan to 35 Whelan Ackley Improved...

44 magnum to 445 Super Mag. and 444 Marlin...

Barrel customizations:

Recrowning...

Barrel shortening and recrowning...

Muzzle Brakes...

Scope base and barrel modification - the base and barrel are modified for the larger 8-40 screws and the screw holes are deepened for no less than seven full threads contact per screw...

Trigger jobs - trigger pull is lightened to a clean smooth pull of 2 to 2.5 lbs...

Anyone interested in this kind of work or prices, please e-mail me at:

I also specialize in T/C Contender and Encore barrel rechamberings and trigger jobs as well as custom barrels for both....

considering the large case head and operating pressures of the 22 WSSM, that is one I believe I would stay away from....Not only is the case head thrust very high with the WSSM cases, but their short length (1.67") does not allow a rechamber of a .223 (1.76") barrel anyway. A .22 Hornet barrel would not work either because then the twist rate would be all wrong....

It is great to see a gunsmith specializing in Handi work!

The most popular rechamberings that I do is the 22 Hornet to 22 K-Hornet, 30-30 to 30-30 Ackley Improved, 223 to 222 Rem. Mag. Improved and the 308 to the 308X444 Improved...

Trigger jobs and muzzle brakes are also very popular as it shortening the barrel to carbine length and recrowning....

Have always wanted to go from 44 mag to 440 cor-bon. Is it possible? Or maybe in a lever gun?
