Title: I have a stainless steel bearcat
Post by: pastorp on September 16, 2021, 10:35:23 PM

That I had a gunsmith rechamber to 22mag. Shoots great, but I’m thinking I’d like to add another 22LR cylender so I can shoot both rounds.

I’ve tried to find one but I’m wondering what the easiest way to make it into a convertible, 22 Lr & 22 mag.

thats a tough one. Only way would be for a custom gunsmith to make a cylinder and that wont be cheap. Maybe try calling ruger and asking them to sell you one.

Probably you are going down the right road. When I converted my High Standard to a convertible, I got the second cylinder first and then got it rechambered. I like the result even though I don't shoot mags much; hard to get and cost to much. Check ebay and GunBroker for extra cylinders. It took me a while to find what I needed,  but I'm happy with the result.
