    Help relining a .22 cal rifle

    Hi guys, for a while I've been thinking about relining a couple of rifles in my collection. One is a .22 Vickers Martini, and the other is an Indian No2 Mk4 .22 smle, which i think is a scrubbed enfield.
    I havn't done this before and while I've read the Brownells Instructions I can't imagine that using a hand held power drill to be the preferred method of obtaining a professional result.
    I suppose I'll scratch up some pulled out .22 barrels for dry runs.
    I'm also quite interested in relining some .303's to .22, but that's down the track.
    Any advice from those who've done some would be much appreciated, and the advice will be put to good use and the results posted.
    Thanks in advance.

    Also so you know where I'm at, I have a good lathe and a solid group of relevant tools, I havn't yet bought the tubes or the drill/s and advice on the choice of tooling and tube choice would also be appreciated. I'm prepared to get what's required to do it right as I'll probably do quite a few of these in the future.
