I believe that would be possible, but if you paid to do it far more than the cost of a new cylinder. I have picked up a couple of top break 32s. I am going to try lining the cylinders, bores and reworking extractor for 22 lr rims and redoing the firing pin and bushing to make a top break 22lr, just for entertainment.

If reaming the current cylinder does not work, maybe he could remove the cylinder, sent it into S&W and have a new cylinder installed. If he could then he could make current cylinder into a 22 mag. A .224 bullet down a .22 barrel is a absolute non issue.
