B50/B51 in .22 internal parts

Hi All,
Does anyone know if there are any differences in the BAM B50/B51 in .22 versus .177 besides the barrel? Are the springs, hammer, transfer port, etc. the same or different between calibers?
Thank you,
Taso

Transfer port was the same on both my .22 and .177.

Can't really remember if the transfer port was the same or not....seems like it was...but I've tried various custom ones and really cannot remember which is which (but it seems like they were just about the same0.
Have never swapped bolts, but they LOOK like they should swap (which is odd for a .177 vs .22).
Know the striker spring, striker, striker guide are the same.
Just as a mention...the barrels are glued into the breech. Some are easy to get to let go, some are really difficult, so if you are thinking about a caliber conversion, it's something to consider.

Thank you all for your responses. I have two complete B51's in .177 and an extra barreled receiver in .22.
I'm trying to decide if I need a third B51. Trick question right?
Do I get a third in .177 in case I get a not accurate barrel? If one barrel is less accurate than the others I could swap it out and throw the .22 barrel on the third gun and see how that goes.
Do I need a .22? Probably not, but a bigger than .177 rifle calls to me. I'm primarily a paper puncher but I'd like to dispatch the occasional pest squirrel or raccoon. A .224 would be a nice long range bench rest rifle.
I think a hot rod .177 would be up to the pesting task. I recently received a tin of H&N .177 Piledrivers. As soon as I get the #2 B51 tuned and regulated I'd like to see if they are accurate. I have been looking for cast .177 boolits but haven't found any yet. Are they available?
In Illinois air rifles in calibers over .177 and shooting over 700 fps are considered fire arms. Shooting fire arms in your back yard is illegal. So a 900 fps .22 becomes a range only gun because of ignorant neighbors and I don't want any legal problems. There are no conveniently located rifle ranges around me unfortunately so I'm limited to basement and back yard.
Thanks,
Taso
