I plan to make one out of an old rimfire barrel. the main problems are a skinny ramrod breaking, difficulty loading tiny projectiles and patches, and fowling quickly. The fowling problem is one lots of people seem to mis understand. when black powder burns roughly half of it is remains as smoke and fouling. small bores tend to fowl quicker because there is less surface area inside the barrel to spread the fouling out on. If you want something go for it. this is a hobby not a buisness. FCI barrels can make 30 and 29 caliber and I have had a 25 caliber barrel made by Ed Rayl.
