Wouldn't really be that hard to make, would it?

 I think Larry stubbed a .204 Ruger bbl. I believe Stimpy ended up with that one. I am not sure I would go thru the expence of having someone do one for me...but if you were able to do it yourself I say why not. I have one of the Remington 5mm and it is one of my favorite PD shooters probly get near 500 rounds a yr put thru it. I would really love to have one of the taurus revolvers in 5mm. But honestly the 17 HMR has no problem keeping up to the 5mm and it's ammo is way cheaper. But sometimes the want outways  the reason . If ya build one let us know. Kurt

Yep , I ended up with the one Larry built , shoots good too  ;D  , He had a few problems building mine because it was made to fit a CF SB-2 frame , thus it needed an off-set bore like the Virsa-pac 22 LR barrel's .
 
Now if someone was to do one on a say 22 mag lug and stub a 204 barrel blank it may not be as much work ( no off-set ) , just not sure , that way it would be a RF only .
