:-\ Oh...not good news. Hmmmm.....I guess that's why that little voice in the back of my head told me to hang onto my Stevens that I now have chambered in .17 Fireball. My "Plan" was to get the new Hornet in the Model 25 as it would b e a bit lighter to handle, then just re-barrel the Stevens with the 22-250 barrel that I picked up "along the way." Grrrrrr.......
