remington .41 rimfire derringer

I know its a bad idea, but a family member was wondering if you could sleeve a .41 rimfire to a .22 lr caliber and it function?

It may also take a firing pin modification, but anything is possible.

why not just by a .22

The big drawback is the frames are iron and most crack at the hinge. Once cracked it's not easily fixed. If you have one with a good frame why risk damaging it beyond repair?

Bubba; I thought and said the same thing, but they wanted to know about the .41.

Hawg: Its not mine to ask why!!! I am trying to get it so its not ruined.
