I have searched around but have only found information about the .22 version.   Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 10:43 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Exact same modifications apply to the .22 as the .177- they are the same gun with a different caliber barrel. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Is there anywhere I could buy a short piston and maybe spring(I am in canada) Also what kind of fps could I get from just the short piston and what could I get from the short piston and a 1000 spring.   Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 11:53 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Here: http://scopesandammo.com/storefront/product_info.php/crosman-questphantom-1000800-repair-kit-p-354 If you install those parts in a "detuned" rifle, you will end up with a "firearm" under Canadian law for which you need a license and for it to be registered. Purchasing the parts doesn't require any license- but if you do install them and end up with a firearm and no license- you could face some legal problems. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Edit: Comes to $77 was not expecting that. I assume the reason there is only 3 day fed ex shipping is because of the Canada post strike?   Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2011 6:55 am SMP Silver Status Member Joined: 04 Feb 2011 Posts: 1183 Location: Just south of "Out There"- Land O Lakes Ontario Use the "contact us" button at the left of the screen at www.scopesandammo.com Eric will give you a direct quote for shipping by email _________________ Sean   Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2011 11:07 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Fedex has a funny shipping system- it basically goes by box weight- and has a minimum charge depending on the destination. The only "good" way to make this work is to order a number of things- the largest part of the shipping bill is the base rate- adding more weight only raises the shipping a couple dollars- so you can "spread" the shipping over more items, having it make more sense. That being said- the absolute cheapest you could expect to pay for the one kit, and assuming Canada Post goes back to work, and if you are in a GST-only province, would be $56.69. Basically, ordering a repair kit by itself is not necessarily worth it. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
