Just wondered if anyone out there has an adaptor that will let me fire .22lr rimfire rounds in my 1930s Savage 99 Takedown?

And secondly if it could legally be mailed to me in England as an accessory??

Try www.mcace.com maybe he could help you.

i doubt the 223 bullet is gonna be very accurate in the 228 barell.

Hi Manhasset: Thanks for that tip - I did not lnow of MCA. He doesn't list the .22 Savage, but I will call him.
Hi Lamar: My barrel measures 0.226, and with soft Eley rounds they might bump up. That's the fun of the experiment... I have other normal .22s if needed.

Keep and eye on Ebay and Gunbroker. I've seen listings occaissionally for the Marbles inserts. I have several in other calibers, they are fun. A more accurate version is available from Lothar Walther, it woud be to fit a 5.6x52R.
Good Luck on your search.

they might bump up.
you could look for a copper jacketed round [actual jacket not plated] that might have just enough bite to take the rifling too.

Marble's made a 22 LR in 22 HP adapter back in the day. I assume that the soft lead 22 LR bullet will expand to a large enough diameter such that it will seal the bore and spin in the rifling.
