I have a Ballard 22 RF barrel that I want to line to 25-20 WCF. This barrel has the cut outs for the 2 piece extractor. The 1/4" hole that runs parallel to the bore can be filled with a silver soldered rod, but that leaves the 1/2" long cut out on the side giving no support to the rod. If it gets lined with the 1/2" liner then the wall thickness will be ~.075, will that be enough material?
I do have the option to fit the barrel to a Winchester 1885, then the window area will be cut off. I would prefer to put it on the Ballard.
Any other thoughts?
