Jason L. · Answer

That is a different model where you can load in .22lr on the top and .410 bore on the bottom. This model is only .22Wmr & .410 bore.

no it is unsafe to shoot 22lr in a 22 mag barrel it can cause ruptured cases as the 2 cases are of different diameters they do make a save 24 in 22lr over 410 but it will not shoot 22 mag

Hi Greg and welcome. Unfortunately, no, due to the cartridge case difference. this is the exact reason you need a dedicated 22LR and 22Magnum Cylinder in Revolvers : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/87978/heritage+manufacturing+rough+rider+22+22m+4.75+black+bhg  ------- Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Greg, no sir, .22lr and .22wmr are not interchangeable, you will have to choose one or the other. budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/4396/savage+42+takedown+22lr+410 ,
Stay safe & have a great day!
