I have two .22 pistols. Both are H&R brand. One is the Trapper model
and has a 7 round cylinder. When the cylinder is pushed toward the
trigger there is almost .030 between the end of the cylinder and the
barrel. This gun is LOUD. even shooting CB shorts. I want, and can see
how, to remove the barrel. Then the barrel can be machined so that it
goes farther into the frame. If I do this, how much clearance should
there be? The other pistol is a top break with a 9 round cylinder. I
am entertaining the idea of buying or making a new cylinder that can
chamber .22 magnums. Is there a way for a layman to determine if the
pistol can safely shoot .22 magnums?
Thanks,

Do you have a drawing of the cylinder? I know of an H&R 922 that is
missng it's cylinder.

NO,obut I could make one. The 9 shot cylinder for the Sportsman has a
feature that pops the spent shells out when the gun is opened. The
Trapper model has the 7 round cylinder without any fancy features. Let
me know which you need and maybe I can help.

A heads up for anyone reading. Somewhere in my Stuff I have a .22lr
cylinder for a Ruger Blackhawk
