    Hi

    can it be done ????
    owt tricky to look out for ?

    Sorry again if this has been done to death.

    Its very easy to do, takes about 20 minutes including a cup of tea

    You will need barrel, probe assembly and of course a .22 mag

    Best way is too buy the barrel off the sales section, they often come up, probe maybe too, new 12 shot mag costs about £50

    You will be able to recoup some of the expense by selling your .25 kit

    When/if you are ready to go ahead with cal change just ask on here and we will talk you through it

    Cheers Baz

    Fancy sticking your neck out & giving a guesstimate on how much the barrel/probe will cost if one comes up on here ?

    Thanks

    This seems a better option than selling the gun & buying a new .22 Rapid because if needs be I can swap back to .25.

    Thanks again

    Gran.
