It would be a case of swapping the barrel and cyliner . Not too involved really , main thing would be keeping an eye on the power .

 

Parts needed would be -

 

RN235 CARBINE CYLINDER TUBE £35-£40

 

 

S403 F/G ( depending on calibre ) CARBINE BARREL CARBINE £110 - £125

 

 

Would be worth your while changing all seals whilst its stripped ( about £6.50 for a set )

if ur going to buy a new barrel

then you have nothing to loose by trying it urself

 

a friend done it on a cheap chineese gun and after that it was really accurate

I have had several of those rifles, Personally I`ve more often seen shooters of the Carbine wanting to go up to the classic and never the other way around. Obviously to get more shots from the larger air reservoir on the Classic.

 

My advice here would be take the barrel & Air Tube of the carbine and put it up for a swap on the AA owners forum or Air Gun BBS. It will be taken up in a matter of hours as there are many who seek the larger option.

 

And as the barrel is a bit longer there may be a slight increase in ftlbs so a little tweaking could be required to bring it back under 12ftlb if it goes over.

top advise.

I would be tempted to buy the cylinder, but to save money have the original barrel cut back (profesionaly).

i'm of smaller stature and have used an s410 carbine and i have to say it would make manouverability in a hide or car much easier and also just makes it a nicer gun to handle for me.

At up to 60 shots for carbine , shots for the classic , i honestly cant see the difference . You will never use shots whilst hunting ( realistically , it will equate to 40 ish shots for both once you know the power curve ) . 99% of hunters know where the start of the power curve is , aswell as where it drops off , so like i say 40ish decent shots . Which is still loads of shots whilst hunting .
