I have an NEF .17hmr sportster can it be fit with a centerfire barrel? Or is it rimfire only?

Rim fire only due to the firing pin.

Yeah I didn't think the firing pin would would work for centerfire. thanks

So how come the Rossi knock-offs can handle both rimfire and centerfire on the same frame? Is the rimfire bore offset so the firing pin hits the rim?
