I resurrected a high wall Winder last year that I had found in a little tar paper gun shop outside Townsend, MA in the early '70s for $85. New liner, new butt stock and some judicious clean up on the receiver and it resulted in a very nice shooting rifle and attractive heirloom. I always thought it would be unique to convert a Winder, with an unusable barrel, to .22 Hornet or 218 Bee by relining and bushing the breach block to center fire. My question would be, can the automatic auto ejector be retained with a center fire cartridge like the Hornet or would it bind during extraction, or worse yet, leave the case unsupported? Terry H.
