Wanted to see if anyone knew if this was possible. I love my Urban and have it shooting great, I can get 1 inch or better at 50 yards using CPHP so a long day of shooting is very cheap. When Tractor Supply has the CPUM in stock I try to pick up a few tins as they shoot more consistent for a couple of dollars more. For my needs, it is really the only AG I
want need. I would, however, love to be able to stretch the shot string. I know BSA/Gamo is reusing a ton of parts based on their diagrams and I would guess the Coyote/Buccaneer tube would work, just different lengths. Curious if anyone has both guns and/or has tried to swap them. Airgunspares has them for roughly $80 after conversion and shipping. Going from 105cc to 153cc should give a decent bump in shots. I think the length is the only difference but not sure.

I have wondered the same thing, but it looks like it would hit the silencer unless you also installed the longer barrel.
-
Good point. I didn't think about the large pickle being in the way as I removed it from mine and added a shroud. It would definitely be in the way of a longer tube.
-
What is the sound level in comparison to the pickle.
I believe you can get the loner barrel from the UK, sans pickle.
Would have been less expensive to have purchased a Coyote.

Might just be cheaper to buy a BSA Buccaneer on special at US299...

Without the muzzle-brake , you can then add an ldc of choice :)
-
Do you mean without the "Build-In Silenceer", with the "Muzzlebrake" in order to change ldc?
That is really a great buy! BSA Scorpion is also on sale.

Sound is about the same. I don't have the tools to make a proper air stripper for the end to redirect the flow back down the shroud so the baffles are doing the work. I have also had issues with clipping and the shroud inching up which changes the air flow and the POI. I think i've got that part fixed now. You can't tell all of the redneck engineering that went into it from the outside, but remove the shroud and you'll find strategicly placed PVC and duct tape.
If I had it to do over again, I personally wouldn't, unless I could get the proper parts machined that I needed. This was my first Gamo BSA and hopefully not my last. I'm truly blown away by the accuracy. I haven't tried many pellets, but the CPUM or even CPHP shoot as well as anything for my needs.
I've been looking at the Buccaneer's that is a heck of a buy on them.

Tempted on the Buccaneer, the extra length gives you a little more OOMPH...NormaL LDC Hugget, Weihrauch ,Donny works much better than the Pickle - On my Urban removed mine and put a 1/2 UNF adaptor and Carbon Fiber Barrel Sleeve cannot be happier ...
