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.

You received a new barrel from SPA?
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.
-
I agree Travis, but I'm not complaining :D...hope to dive in by next week and see how easy this conversion will be.

Do you have all the contact info for her? Mind sharing??? :) That's awesome news. :)

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?
