Is the power plant the same on the the .177 and .22?

Can you find a barrel to swap to .22 cal. on one of these rifles?

Leopard,
You may be able to buy a .22 barrel right from Crosman.Or you can send it to Rich in Michigan and have a new barrel installed in your breech.This is the same power plant as the Phantom +Quest rifles both 1000+800 series.
I am waiting for Rich to send me back my barrel assembly as I write.I am having a .20 caliber installed in my .177 1000X Quest breech.It should be a real flat shooter.Here's his link and good luck with your barrel swap!

The .22 barrels are not available through Crosman. Why? I've been given a couple different reasons by people at Crosman- and they didn't make any logical sense. Obviously, Crosman is happy scavenging warranty repair parts from other warranty return guns they exchanged out.

That being said, Bob has the right idea- people who deal in, and have access to the "original" Chinese-made B1x series guns can use the barrels from them- although the front sight would be different (I don't know if the Crosman-style sight and the Chinese-only B1x guns are interchangeable- i.e. they might have a different slot in the barrel end).

And yes, the "guts" are the same between all these different Crosman models- this seems to be their main spring powerplant and I can only think of a couple of guns they still make not using it- the 781 and one of the Remington's (? can't remember which one now).
