I have very little knowledge of this but what from what in have read, shortening the barrel may alter the snappiness of a springer, especially in 177. I'd be tempted to leave the barrel as they are so accurate. When. I looked at threading my 99 barrel, a lot of people thought it was too short to get in the lathe (although I'm not an engineer and can't verify this). Im sure some tuners will have the answer.
Forgive me for butting in, but how do you like the tune? Did you have the guides and spring swapped and does it feel any different to shoot?
Keep us posted if you do shorten the barrel, would be interesting to see the results
