    Career calibre change

    Is it feasable to rebarrel a Career 707 MKII from say .22 to .177 ?
    Apart from the obvious like the magazine is it a straight forward barrel swop and then a re-tinker to up the power for .177 or as in the case of say BSA SuperTen's there is too much to do to make it worth it ??

    Youll need to change the barrel,probe,shuttle and mag.,and as you say tweak the power.

    As it happens, you won't need to dump all the air to do the work, unless you can't get the port out.

    It's about a 20 minute job, and the bits will cost you about a ton.

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
