Barrel stubbing 10/22?

[ncloader88]

I know there has been a lot of experimentation with barrel stubbing. Has anyone ever tried to modify a stub to accept a barrel from the ruger 10/22 platform?  I know that unless the barrel was used on a rimfire receiver it would have to be bored off-center.  Is it possible to bore an off-center hole on a traditional lathe if a centered hole already exists, or would you have to start with a solid blank to make it work?

I have seen enough to know that a decent machinist can do pretty much anything with metal, short of converting lead into gold


using a standard 10/22 barrel, I'd guess an offset sleeve would work easy, if the stub hole is too large.
if the stub was from a smaller diameter cartridge rifle barrel, I'm sure an offset hole could be bored.

now, if using a large diameter aftermarket barrel, I think a rifle barrel stub would be the easiest option.  as a sleeve would run pretty thin.

Might be easier to modify the Firing Pin to accommodate the RimFire.

The answer is yes it can be done.The set  up time will take longer so if you are paying someone to do this project set back enough cash to buy a very nice Anschutz.
 Blending the stub to the barrel is going to be the tricky part.Cutting an offset taper
is kinda challenging on the setup.
 
nanuk-O-dah-Nort is correct a Master Machinist can do some very intricate and precise manufacturing.
Good Luck with your project
