1885 Win .223 to .22PPC or 22BR

How difficult would it be to re-chamber an 1885 Winchester in .223 to .22PPC or 22BR? Would the extractor be a problem?

you could get an extractor for the 22br or you could modify the 223 to work for the ppc. difficulty would depend on the smiths experience with single shots. it would not be difficult for a smith that works on single shots. jmo, treeman
