New barrels,should have known, didn't.

Buy one through your local firearms dealer direct from air arms.

Well you see, buying it through a local RFD you see was my first post of call, he that I have always used and got all my bits from and is the main supplier of spares, was unfortunately unable to supply. Basically if he is unable to source then you have had it. I thought that I might have stood a chance with Chambers, Knibbs etc. but that turned out to be no chance.
Hey ho, I have learnt that you can order a blank and get it delivered, to your door, next day.
Cheers.

Silco do barrel blanks, about 2/3 the price of chambers.

Worth thinking about if there is a next time.

I used a silco blank when I converted my s200 to a .20

For the uninitiated, what needs done to change a ‘blank’ into a usable barrel?

[bucketboy]

A lathe, possibly a mill and it finishing in some way.

Thank you all. I don't think I will have to do it again. Thanks Bucketboy I had completely forgotten about Silco and will keep them in mind. I will go and remind myself what they do now.
Cheers.

lots.

Its way cheaper to buy a factory barrel if you can.

It needs to be machined to fit the rifle at the breech.

Then screw cut if you want.

Then it has to be blued or finished to match the rifle.

Then fitted.

So unless you have all the equipment each stage can cost £££.
