Title: P12 conversion to P10
Post by: WiseGuy on March 30, 2018, 01:37:30 PM
Has anyone successfully converted their P12 to a P10.  I have all the parts necessary, just received them from SPA a few months back, but finally getting the time to sit down and do the conversion.  Looks pretty straight forward, got a new receiver, bolt, barrel, mags, regulator and all the o-rings.  I just need a P10 schematic to follow and make sure I'm doing it correctly.  I tinker with all my airguns, so I feel confident in doing the conversion.  Just thought Id ask if someone has already done so and if there was a DIY somewhere I can check out before starting mine.

They have denied sending barrels to me.

Just curious.. how did u get SPA to send u a barrel?
I’ve always heard they won’t sell barrels ..

But to answer your question... I have a P10 in .25 & I also have a p12 .22 cal barrel and breech that I have swapped between in the past. If memory serves me correctly... everything is a direct swap except the front 2 breech screws.

On the p12 breech I had to use a screw with a nut on the underside or tube side. And the p10 repeater breech has threads in it and a screw comes thru from the tube side and threads into the bottom of the p10 breech. Hope this helps. 
 Looks like Armstrong asked the same question while I was typeing.. lol

Somehow I got lucky! When I placed my order with Julie months back, I told her I needed everything to do a conversion from a P12 to a P10 repeater.  She is the one that picked out all the parts and I just paid for it. Had no idea I was getting a new barrel or even a new regulator! Everything was pretty dam cheap too, about $100 shipped which included 3 mags.

Thanks for the reply! I'll keep an eye out for the breech screws up front.

Well.. you lucky dawg!
I think u are the 1st to receive a barrel in the states.
 
I could really use one for a varmint. Maybe I’ll give it a try and see how it goes.

I might be, who knows.  But somehow I got a barrel in the package from China!  I'll try and snap a pic later tonight of all the parts I receive from SPA.

 Not likely to happen again with Chinas new air gun laws and Im very surprised it happened at all. Something obviously got overlooked.

Does anyone know whether or not a person can have someone that lives in China buy a barrel and ship it over declaring it of course, but just shipping it with other goods that are coming to someone?
