Are Crosman 2100 and Recruit barrels interchangeable?

Hi folks!
I have a Crosman 2100 in the wardrobe... Never really liked shooting pellets with that one and as it has a rifled barrel I kind of hesitate shooting BBs. Now an idea popped up in my head. I've heard that both the 2100 and the Recruit are based on the 66 platform. Does that mean that the barrels are interchangeable?
The Recruite has the same pellet clips as the 760... So, its easier (than the 2100) to load with pellets but have that smoothe bore barrel. So if it is possible they both would get kind of more useful (in my mind). The 2100 with a smoothe barrel and the Recruite with a rifled one. I think I'd appreciate them both more in such configurations.

I do not believe so........
The Recruit is built on the Crosman 66 platform, which has a shorter barrel.
Also, the 2100 barres straw has a transfer port at the breech end; the recruit does not.

You can lead a man to water, but you can't keep him from urinating in it.

The recruit also has a straw barrel and shroud like the 2100. I have changed them from 2100 barrels. The 2100 barrel is longer, and you have to do a little cutting and grinding to make it fit , but I have two of them I converted to rifled barrels from the 2100's. I can't remember exactly what I did to them to make them fit the part that the barrel goes in. It is a tad smaller and you have to take off a bit of material off of the barrel end. Once you have that, its just a matter of cutting the barrel to fit and put a recrown on it. Actually pretty easy. Took me less time to do than putting it all together again. Good luck.

The OP is looking to install a smooth-bore barrel into his 2100 so he can shoot BB's with his 2100 without fretting about messing up the rifling.
So, thanks for that info, but ya got it kinda backerds..........
