The Winchester Magnum Rimfire is a larger round, and is capable of producing twice as much energy as the .22lr. I do believe that Ruger is making a rifle capable of handling the .22WMR, but a standard .22lr rifle is incapable of safely firing the .22WMR.
A Colt peacemaker with that serial number was made in 1974.
22 magnums actual caliber is .220. If you look at the tip of the bullet 22 mag has a sharp point. On a 22lr it is rounded and 22 mag is bigger around. Look around the rim and it will say 22 magnum or 22 lr.
Not safely. The 22 lr is a slightly smaller case dimension, so it'll split in the cambe of a 22 mag gun, and vent gas out the back.
No, You cannot fire a .22 LR in a 22WMR (Winchester Magnumj Revcolver)!!!
The 22wmr stands for Winchester magnum rimfire.
N0- highly dangerous. The bore is also a different diameter.
0-200 USD or so
About $750, depending on condition.
New they are between $150-170, they don't have a fantastic reputation...
The answer is maybe. Certain revolvers are "convertibles"- they have two different cylinders. However, for most firearms, 22 LR should NOT be shot in .22 Magnum guns (cartridge case will split) 22 Magnum ammo will not fit in a 22 LR chamber- too fat to fit.
