There is no factory barrel that could just be rechambered, it would have to be a rebore of a smaller bored barrel and rechambered, or a stub(see FAQs), either of which will cost $250-$350 plus the cost of the donor parts.

You would have to have a 22WMR bored to 25cal, and then chamber it in 7.62x25.

Pity you don't want a 22 cal version, the 22 Reed Express could be the ticket:

The 7.62X25 would make a real fun little walking around gun.  It's suprisingly flat shooting out of my pistol, would be fun in a short Handi.  DP

Brian buddy I hate to call you out, but the 7.62 is the designation of the bullet Dia. thus a 30cal. The x25 is the case length, the russians must have not liked short easy names for their cartridges ;D

I would suggest a take off 303 Enfield barrel or possibly a Nagant barrel for a stub job.

This begs the question, why hasn't anyone made a barrel for a handi?  No one owns a machine shop or can get time with a CNC machine..... Just asking.....

thanks for the info all i do wish someone would make one and i guess the reason i want it would be cheap to feed a 7.62 tok and pretty flat shooting and accurate round.

the 22 reed express would probably be good round but not much experience or knowledge of it need to research it more i guess not sure how it would compare to the tok round and not really any place but reed's to get ammo.

I think 7.62x25 refers to the caliber and length in mm.

An Enfield or a Mosin were suggested above.These are both .311.If a 7.62X25 bullet mikes out at .30 caliber (.308) then a 30-30 Handi with an MCA chamber adapter would work.I do know that MCA makes 7.62X25 chamber adapters.

i have considered a chamber adapter for a mosin nagant rifle have read the reviews and all seem to like it but if i went the direction i would probably want a M44 for it
