I'm old enough to remember the 22 Jet chambered in a S&W revolver, although I never owned one.
As I recall, the S&W could be had with a 2nd cylinder chambered for 22RF, hence the reason for the bore diameter to be .221, rather than the .224 of most varmint cartridges.
I suspect you could still find the form die set from RCBS, but I would be afraid to look at the price-likely more than the price of the barrel.
Finding jacketed .221 diameter bullets may also be a problem.
I think I'd put that barrel in a drawer and consider it a collectors item.
