Make a barrel liner???Rechamber to.17M-2 Jerm has the best answer.
I was thinking today of making a reinforcement to surround the barrel and also hold the barrel into my action. I can over beaf it up to make sure pressures won't cause a catostrophic failure.
Throw that barrel away and go out and buy a 22 or 17 cal for a couple hundred dollars & be done with it. It will be a lot cheaper in the long run and a lot safer
The Confederate army had some Napolean cannons that they wrapped with heavy wire to reduce the occurrence of burst barrels. Of course, when they did burst, anyway, there was extra shrapnel.
I wouldn't recommend that, but if someone is determined to make a silk purse from a sow's ear, it's an option that might or might not be survivable. But, send the kids to the storm cellar, first. :jester:
No way man, that barrel is made for about 2-3 thousand pounds max and you're going to ask it to withstand 15,000 to 30,000. You're gonna blow something up. I don't even think a barrel liner is a good idea because what you line plus the liner should both be good for very high pressure. Nope I think you're having sex with the devil doing that.
Daddy, what's an enabler?

And notify your next of kin where they can access your dental records when you don't come home after a range session.
I can't imagine how it's a good idea to put an air rifle barrel on a smokeless powder gun. Call me old fashioned.
