Thread: .22LR rechambered to .22 Mag...possible?

I've ended up with three .22LR: two single-shot Lithgows and a JW15.

Is it possible to rechamber one of the single-shot Lithgows to .22 Mag?

The bolt face is not recessed so the larger .22 Mag rim would be fine. But will the action hold the .22 Mag pressure?

Barrel bore is .223 for the .22LR which is 0.001" smaller than the .22 Mag (.224). Is that safe? Pressure problems?

Not too keen on the old Lithgow action blowing up on me if I ream it out....had that with an Omark and never want it again.
