Hi--I have been offered a Sako varmint rifle It is chambered for the 222 mag which is fine but brass cases is imposable to get in Canada--is rechambering to 222 rem or 223 a possible-I presume the barrel would have to be set back Any infor would be helpful Thanks Sydney | ||

Bummer, the 222 mag is a great caliber as well and a Sako in that caliber is rare here in the States (if its an L469 or Vixen). That said, yes, it can be done just as you mention. Had a Mauser done like that a while ago, 222 mag set back and rechambered to 223. ______________________ Ken A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in. --- Greek Proverb | |||

Would be a pity... I think importing 200 cases would be cheaper than a rechambering job. | |||

Just looked it up, looks common to turn 204 into 222 Mag. Go slow and lube well If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter! | |||

Imperial sizing die wax is your friend! Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||
