Would that be very difficult? What would something like that cost? If anyone has the time to do it shoot me a pm.

That being said, most springers with suppressors do not have vented barrels- the have the basic suppressor housing with some baffles between the muzzle of the actual barrel and the end of the suppressor housing. If you take off the suppressor to verify the barrel isn't vented, all you would need to do then if not vented is cut the barrel and re-crown, then reinstall the suppressor. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."
