Thanks

Unless your barrel has sentimental value, you might want to consider
re-barreling the stock. I think it would be cheaper.

There are a number of barrel smiths who can sleeve a barrel. This is a very practical approach for low-pressure guns like .22 rimfires and black powder weapons. Another alternative would be to go to a larger caliber-have it rebored and re-rifled. This of course requires a barrel that has sufficient wall thickness to safely go to a larger bore size....

Hey they've come out with the 52 cal knight , so there are some projectiles in that calliber available curently , sounds like a great option to me . You dont have to go with the magnum charge they are useing on that thing either .
