Of note when ordering Krieger barrel blanks: Krieger specifies “One (1) inch must be cut off each end of a .22 Rimfire blank.”, consequently your finished .22 rimfire barrel will be 2″ shorter than the blank size while a centerfire blank will only be 1″ shorter. This means the breech end of the barrel will lose 1″ of breech, so a .22 rimfire finished barrel will have a breech length of 2.5″ on a Heavy Competition barrel where a centerfire barrel will have a 3.5″ breech length. The Heavy Palma is specified to be the same between centerfire and rimfire.
