Can you convert a savage 22lr into a 22mag?

Yes, you can convert a Savage .22 LR rifle to fire .22 WMR (magnum) ammunition, but it typically requires a barrel change, as the two cartridges have different case lengths and pressure levels. Some models may allow for a simple swap of the barrel, while others might need additional modifications or specific components. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines and a professional gunsmith to ensure safety and compatibility before attempting any conversion.
