    Calibre change for a s400.

    Hi, what would be involved in changing a .177 s400 to a .22? Is it a matter of just changing the barrel or does the whole breech block,bolt assembly need changing. I am aware that the power would need adjusting. Thanks Pete.

    Barrel, bolt probe and probably a few other bits.

    I think you'll find it's a bit more complex than just changing the barrel.

    Easier to look for an action swap. At the moment 177's seem to be more in favour than 22's so you may well find someone wanting to do a straight swap.

    Yep... more trouble than it's worth, and AA only like to supply bits to recognised "names."

    I have spoken to AA on this before and was told it was an uneconomical choice!
