Since it may not be original, it might be a candidate worthy of sleaving to .22 LR. Presumably an extractor would not be too difficult. Pretty nice rifle if you can get it shooting again, but it would be nice to see a few pictures of the entire gun.
Nice find.

Certainly possible to convert to rimfire, it would also include altering the breech block and firing pin and might require a new block as well. The firing pin is retained by a nut which is threaded into the block on the same axis as the pin. It may be easier to make a new block with the pin in the proper location that to alter the original block. If it was mine I would go back to .360, either 2&1/4" bpe or 2&7/16" bpe. I have a double in the 2&7/16" version which was a favorite chambering of Henry's.

I suppose it would be a bit of work. But a fine squirrel rifle if one did. There are not very many .22 lr English rook rifles for some reason, though that would seem to be the ideal cartridge for them, as light as they are.
We can't rifle turkeys here, so those 'tweener cartridges like .310 cadets, .25-20s and so on are always hanging around looking for work.

It looks to me like some goober has filed half the nocksform off the barrel at the breech, and put a screw there too. Probably the same clot who bent everything up. Some people really need to learn their limitations.....

Give a call if you like, right up my alley. I have a thing for both Scottish rifles and single shots. Don't have another melt-down Queen Stevie, but from the posts you make here, it appears that the things that are really right up your alley are criticizing Donald Trump and Republicans, supporting anti-gun Democrats like Altzheimer Joe Biden, disrupting gun rights discussions, and dancing around your gay Festivus pole. Another consideration is that CJF might not be as patient as BrentD, and wish to wait the rest of his life for you to work on his gun, or pay you just to have you farm the work out to someone else, while you spend all day here https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=588144#Post588144Paybacks Queen Stevie... can be a real b!tch. But you'll be a triggered little Liberal snowflake, and forget what you did yesterday.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Billie, you are projecting again. It is you who has been having the extended melt down, as evidenced by your recent string of angry posts. Similar story with your infatuation with gay sex. We all know about your relationship with frAnk, no need for you to run from it.
If you only knew how many conservatives despise your behavior you would be shocked. I know because they tell me.
Timelines? I have had Brent's gun under a year, pretty quick for the amount of metal and wood work required.
I gave CJF a realistic timeline for his job when we spoke yesterday at length. A very enjoyable conversation.
What I did yesterday? awwe....your poor wittle feelings have been hurt.
Grow a pair you pansie.

Yep, triggered... and you're also crying like a typical Libtard snowflake Queen Stevie. I'm sure you feel that your long timelines for turn-around on customer's guns is reasonable. We can only imagine how bad it would be if you didn't farm-out a lot of work to real gunsmiths. You have to make some excuse for the large amount of time you spend here supporting Joe Biden, posting false data from anti-gun organizations, and trying to convince us that Donald Trump would screw gun owners and infringe upon our rights. I actually don't believe that many conservatives complain to you about me, because I have seen real conservatives here for years, openly complaining about you and the other Libtards. I'm quite confident that they are not PM'ing you in private to tell you that they really think I'm a bad guy, but are simply afraid to say it in the open. Tell us you little fraud, was it John Roberts??? Steve, Are you a Democrat?
JR Of course, you tell lies all the time Queen Stevie Remember how you also tried to tell us that your Libtard buddy Last Dollar was a true conservative? What a laugh! I'm sure I'd be very shocked to hear that he despised me. Speaking of lies and projections, it is always amusing how you keep trying to hide your queerness by deflecting it onto me and jOe. You don't see any infatuation with gay sex from me. More accurately, I call it a sick perversion, and am just giving my opinion about your obvious life in the closet. You also don't see us defending gay marriage, wearing buckle-strap girls shoes, posting off-topic Threads about gay secular holidays like Festivus, or most importantly... living a life without women. Pretty easy to see where you're coming from you poor little victim and rainbow warrior. Here's a flag for your rainbow Festivus pole, snowflake.

And back to the subject at hand... Here's a shot showing the size of the action. You can also see the poor fit between the handguard and action at the bottom. What's happening is that as the takedown barrel's lug rotates into its mating lug on the receiver boss, the poor fit causes the muzzle t lift upwards, taking the handguard up with it. The handguard itself mates perfectly with the action when it's not attached to the barrel, but then what good is that?
