I read it as sleeved for 22LR. BUT you must use a 22LR conversion kit bolt/ toggle. It is about 1/4" shorter than the standard toggle assembly and has a different extractor, using two lighter springs in the bolt/ toggle assembly and NOT the spring in the handle. The cheapest price I have seen on 22LR bolt/ toggles is $400+. But is the extractor cut out the right shape and does the barrel screw in and stick far enough back for the shorter bolt? THEN need to buy a 22LR magazine, running about $300+. So buying this barrel is only the beginning of cost. An expensive project that will probably cost more than buying a complete kit. But I buy these type parts and wait and shop for the missing parts, for years. I have a 22LR stripped slide and barrel kit for a P.38, still looking for a for a firing pin...
