little project

[Camk]

Hi Guys, I'm thinking of doing a project 17hmr
What I'm thinking of doing is....
I have an old .32RF Stevens favorite I'm going to install a 17 liner and chamber it for the 17HMR from what I can see the only things I will need to change is the ejector (build one) and aligning the firing pin

Any thoughts...

I think it's a cool idea. Hmm, I have a Remington rolling block in 32 RF, hmmm. - dan

I've always heard that the Favorite action is not strong enough for .22 Mag.
A springy action and the 17 HMR may not be a good combination - the 17 has a reputation of splitting cases.

the .32 is alot more beefier than the .22 favorite

Man, like I needed another project, thanks Cam. No really, it's an interesting idea. Where are you getting the liner from? - dan
