Heck No.  It'll eat about 6 or 8 different .38s, and if you ream it to max, it'll digest those too.  It's the greatest little rifle I own.

Thanks for the responses guys!  I am shipping the barrel off tomorrow to have it cut to 16 1/4" and threaded for my 9mm can.  Should be a quiet little plinker with .38 specials!
