Nevermind about the SR! As per Tony Leach, it's cheaper and more simple to just convert a Mk3. The lack of recoil due to the 22mm kit in addition to more fiddling makes the conversion of a SR a big PITA. He does have a kit that would work well with a SR, but it's still a big PITA to get running correctly. As per Mr. Leach, a properly converted and tuned Mk3 will outperform a SR by a large margin... So there you have it! Sticking to a Mk3.
I haven't forgotten about this idea- I've got a lead on some trigger components to add to the list of things to do. I think I may keep it a .177, but I still like the idea of having a full length barrel in a HC sleeve. I'm really looking forward to this build!
There is quite a bit of enjoyment in taking a project from a vision, to a completed rifle😁
I have a TX200 that is already converted to .20...I think its HC though.If you follow through with the barrel change, I am very interested in the skirtless piston kit!Also, I am blessed with a TX 200 SR that performs amazingly well. It is way more accurate than any standard TX200 that I have ever shot. It was actually on par accuracy wise with a FWB300 that I used to own.

So I'm currently waiting on those parts as well.
Me too😁 Talk about precision, these sears should be as close to perfect as it gets.Steve
