hello everybody! i recently have been having a few firearms related ideas. i had a though today of taking a 22 blank firing 6 shooter, unblocking the barrel, lining it with a rifled steel barrel liner, timing the cylinder, and making grips for it. the idea is not to acquire a cheap Saturday night special, but to create an indoor target practice pistol. the idea is i could fire .22 short BB caps out of the gun, or fire .22 short blanks behind a thick airgun pellet or a lead BB. i imagine i would have to tweak the sights to make the gun decently accurate, however i would not need to use high pressure loads for this pistol. given that most blank guns have cylinders of pot metal, i would not want to use anything bigger than .22 CB shorts in the thing or pellets propelled by a blank. however, that being said i am sure that i could use this gun for small pest control or snake hunting. does anybody have any experience at this sort of thing?
