Hi, a good friend of mine has one but it has a .177 barrel on it??
Cheers Paul
That would be mine Paul,I new I shouldn't have told you.you can't keep a secret,bought it recently and was wondering if there were many about,not many replies on here,it has the DG-20 on the chamber but a 177 barrel fitted,the seller claimed he didn't know and had not tried it,the joys of distance buying,to say I was disappointed is an under statement,so now looking for a .20 barrel for it,Wish I still had the coal fire could have used the .177 barrel for a poker.
.
Search Eddie Barber & AIRGUNAID SP5 .20 Hunter (loads on here on the subject), for basically, the DG .20 is the same gun. Eddie (also of AGW fame) and Don developed these Milbro-based hybrids in unison. Hope this helps?

You are very welcome. To help, do note that all the .20 barrels on all the AIRGUNAID SP5 .20 HUNTERS that I have seen over the years were not Milbro manufactured, but 15mm diameter Walthar Lothar barrels, so it follows that the DG .20s were fitted with the same.
This in mind, why not contact Walthar Lothar direct, on the off chance that they still manufacture a similar barrel for other models, or maybe even have some old stock in their spares bay (it's got to be worth a shout )? Atb: G.

Cheers lads,but how do I remove the barrel from the breach block?
Never tried on an AIRGUNAID, but am going to assume it is threaded and loctite (or similar) secured, rather than an interference fit, so applying a little heat and twisting anti-clockwise while staring at the barrel's business end should do the job, although I would leave your DG as a .177 to keep it's integrity if I were you?
I say that, as saw a boxed AIRGUNAID SP5 as a kit, once, with a separate .177 block and barrel assembly in the box alongside the .20 set up, so as Don and Eddie developed the DG .20 and the SP5 .20 in unison with Milbro, I assume the .177 set up that your example sports is Kosher and quite unique on reflection?
