I could get the chamber re-cut in .17 FB, but would lose the length of the tenon as that'd need to be cut off and re-threaded apparently. So was wondering if anyone on here has been down this path before and gone from .17 FB to .17 Remington without the need to cut off the tenon and re-thread?
I'm keen not to lose any barrel length as I want every fps from the cartridge.
Many thanks!

Do you have any lot numbers for this ammunition? I have about 100 rounds here that I have not fired.

Leopold Scopes, Forester reloading equipment and Victorianox knives.
I video recorded all of my Highpower Rifle matches. Pretty soon I am going to watch them all in reverse order so that I can watch those F Class guys GO HOME and leave us alone so that we can shoot Highpower Rifle.
