Has anybody here done this? It looks like I will have to TIG a plug in the old recoil shield bore and cut a new hole lower down. I haven't pressed the old recoil shield out yet, so I don't know for sure.
I know it would have been easier to just start with a centerfire, but I got a minty 22 for $230 to my door, and the upside is I will be able to perfectly center the firing pin with the charge holes.
