I need advice (not criticism) from someone more knowledgable than me. I have contacted Wayne York about having him rechamber and rebore a barrel for me to 25 Remington. I already have an old Rem. Model 141 in that caliber, but my eyesight is not what it once was, so iron sights are fuzzy. I like the cartridge and would like a Handi in that chambering so I can use a scope. I suggested to Wayne using the 223 Rem. barrel for the work, but he said it wouldn't work and suggested to me that a 22 WMR barrel would be the one to use. My question is, if I decide to do this, can I order an accessory 22 WMR barrel to fit an SB2 frame or do I have to buy a whole rifle? If I buy the rifle will the receiver work with a centerfire cartridge? Will the rimfire receiver handle the pressure of the 25 Remington?Thanks for your feedback.Jeff
