.22 CALIBER RIMFIRE BARREL LINERS

.22 CALIBER RIMFIRE BARREL LINERS Reviews & Ratings

There are untold thousands of rimfire .22’s over the country today that need only a barrel liner to bring them back to their original shooting abilities. Some of these guns are beautiful collection pieces, others are fine hunting guns and some of them are just “loved” by their owners who want them back to their original condition. Redman 22 Barrel Liners are button rifled with ultra smooth, uniform finish and sharp, distinct rifling for superb accuracy that’s better than - or equal to - an original, new barrel. The instruction booklet gives complete, easy-to-follow details for either the old, classic method of soldering the liners in or, the more modern method of using ACRAGLAS® for the permanent bond between barrel and liner.

Barrel Liner Instruction Book details the systems used by gunsmiths Bob Schuetz, Willis Sprunger and Ralph Walker. Walker used a variable speed hand drill and ACRAGLAS to hold the liner in. Schuetz solders the liner in place. Sprunger extended a regular bit, drilled the hole in a lathe and bonded with ACRAGLAS.

WARNING: These Redman gun barrel liners are made for specific cartridges. Only use with specified cartridges listed in item description. To chamber these gun barrel liners in other calibers is dangerous and can cause serious bodily injury.

Work like a charm!
I have put several in Winchester Model 290 barrels, and one in a Remington Model 12-C. The Remington was difficult, as I could not remove the barrel from the reciever without damaging either. I got it in and it works perfectly!

Save your old rusty gun
If you have an old rusty gun that you'd like to shoot again, this is the thing for you. Get the pilot drill that goes along with this liner and you're in business. Got a lathe? We don't need no stinkin' lathe. Slow and lots of cutting oil and there ya go. Get you some AcraGlas too.

6mm Flobert relining
I have just drilled, reamed and relined the bore of an old Belgian 6mm Flobert parlour gun... 1888?... the old bore was a rusty mess! The new liner was installed using Acraglas, and the result is a perfect bore. A very affordable means of resurrecting an old fun gun.
