[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 494879, member: 8767"] If you have some calipers, could you measure the diameter of both items for me please ? Also the over all length of both items please ? Slow twist on the larger one, deep grooves. The other smaller one I cant see any rifling marks, but the item is very strange.... Years ago a company made a rifle called a .22 Extruder, very few were manufactured and sold by Myra, a Gunshop in Broken Hill The owner was quite an experimenter and developed a forcing cone system to shoot a .22LR Rimfire projectile through a tapered bore barrel and the resultant projectile was either .17 or .14 in diameter but very long, it was stabilized by the length and was quite accurate. Very cheap .17 shooting, and the rifles are so rare that they are worth bigger money to collectors, unfortunately many were converted back to standard .22LR Rimfire because they were not understood and the Extruder firearms were based upon good quality Rifles anyway. This could end up interesting. [/QUOTE]
