Exactly what I thought.

Is it an adapter threaded to fit a RimX action that has been staked onto a barrel??

 

[flicker204]

not sure what it is .. figured one of you guys would know

I had a friend look at the pics who's really knowledgeable about RimX actions and he has no clue. He said "I've never seen anything like that barrel but honestly it looks like a homemade barrel nut and the dimples to put some kind of wrench on to tighten the nut down"

 

[tmwinds]

Maybe a homemade nutted prefit that can be adjusted for perfect headspace depending on rim thickness of the ammo.

Actually, I don’t have a clue.

Ask Lilja what it is. Are there more markings on it than are shown?
Otherwise avoid it.

 

[flicker204]

there are no more markings.

 

[moondog]

Maybe it was before a carbon wrap?

 

[dutch14]

I'll admit I don't know what it is, other than likely a 22 cal barrel which takes in a lot of territory from air rifle to 22-250. Product sometimes goes out the factory door in either the scrap bin or in a lunch bucket. This appears too thin walled to be even a 22 rimfire barrel.

 

[doclu60]

Maybe it was before a carbon wrap?

Negative, I have seen several blanks that were turned for carbon fiber wrap and this barrel in question doesn't look anything like them.

I quoted this member twice. To the OP, are you sure it's a Lilja, and if so, why are you sure? You have not produced any evidence it is a Lilja. Barrel markings, receipt from Lilja? Why so sure what it is? If for sure you know it's a Lilja, do what my first quote from dutch14 mentioned......contact Lilja.

Second quote from dutch14 is totally off base. I have my 1948 S&W K22 on my table as I type this and the barrel contour at the muzzle is almost exactly the same as the muzzle of the barrel in question pictured here. Plenty of wall thickness for a .22 rimfire.

Unless the OP can find out anything definitive about the barrel, which he has NOT posted anything definitive, all the speculation here from other members is rather a moot point.

Another 'forum' example of no creditable information, but a lot of opinions about something without that information being posted.

 

[dutch14]

Better yet e-mail them with a picture and find out if it's even theirs. But the bottom line on my opinion is forget about it.

it came with a 4000 dollar rimx 22 lr rifle . .. seller said its a lilja

Without having it in hand, I’ll take a guess based on what I see. They took a barrel that had a breech end that wasn’t large enough to be able to direct thread into the action. There are plenty of small diameter blanks for 22s out there. A bushing/thread adapter was made to thread into the RimX and the barrel threads into that. Could very well work just fine.

 

[Geno C]

I’ll go further in assuming, and say those holes are for using a spammer wrench to take the barrel on and off
