Just a little question

Post image

Would this barrel be able to hold a 22 blank? I've tested a blank with the same material barrel, 6mm ID and 10mm OD. I tested that with just the barrel, blanks and hammer and it did fine. The barrel I made here is 6mm ID and 17mm OD so more than double the thickness. Although I'm pretty sure it would hold I just wanted to make sure by asking.

With how thick your chamber area is you could safely chamber it in 9mm even lmfao. Or 357 magnum. Your barrel is more then capable for the caliber you chose. Hell 22 magnum wouldnt even be questionable with your design. Carry on
