ArchieHood 3,692 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Changing from .177 to .22 with most gun designs is likely to cost you 2ftlb in power on your 11.5ftlb gun. However, a few makes and models of airguns manage to retain the same power after calibre change. Quote Link to post

When I changed my TX200 barrel from .22 to .177, I encountered several problems. The hardest part by far was removing the barrel; I then had to add preload washers to bring the power up. In the end it was spot on but took lots of trial and error. Take a look at the post I made on here after completion. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/292537-reworked-tx200hc/ Regards, Steve. 1 Quote Link to post

WhiteRabbit 112 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Why not just swap it for the other calibre? White Quote Link to post
