Because a .22 is better? ;D
The smaller .177 pellets are too difficult for me to handle.

If I were to reduce caliber on a C362 I would be more tempted to go with .20 cal.. , not sure if any of the ones converted to date have tried the heavy .177 ammo yet there may be some gains there.

well the Seneca domes are just a bit to tight to get accuracy maybe if sized... the JSB beast are the only pellet that had beastly harmonic probs with the 26" Maxi barrel... had to use a harmonic tuner but then a single hole at 30 yards... 8 pumps gets 612 fps and ten gets right below 650... Seneca domed nearly exactly the same...
long barreled(26") just with the stock valve... here are the #'s mine hit.. 8)
JSB 13.43g Monsters... with 8 pumps... spits em out at 692 fps for about 14.3 fpe
10.5g CPUM... 4 pumps 603 fps/8.49 fpe....6 pumps 695 fps/11.25 fpe...8 pumps 761 fps/13.5 fpe...
7.9g CPHP 8 pumps 833 fps/12.18 fpe
7.4g C Points... 8 pumps 859 fps/12.1 fpe...
with some valve volume and flow mods... well feel the 13g monsters should hit ~725-750 fps or so...

#805 is a 21" .177. I like it alot. Very accurate gun.
I'm not getting the accuracy I expected out of #782 with it's stock .22 barrel. I'm going to swap the barrels out with the stock .22 from #805. If that don't give me any joy then #782 will become a .177 with an 18" barrel and open sights.

I’m wanting to do this,having trouble locating parts…
-
There are folks out there that chop and crown barrels but they can get a bit pricey.
I prefer to buy the $20 Crosman barrels and do the work myself, or have one of the guys at work do it.
Other than the chopped barrel, the rest of the parts are just what we are using on these guns anyways.
The breech and trigger stuff.

Understood…Ive got several plastic assemblies…looking for a bolt/probe for breech conversion….barrel is a given….thanks
-
Couple of options there...
You can buy the MAP bolts or you can grind/knock the knob out of the stock bolt and thread it for a knob.
I am using the latter in my #805 .177 and surprisingly the .22 stock bolt seals up great in the .177 barrel.
The bolt does not 'jump' when fired.

Well the gun is ordered,breech is ordered(why not) barrel is on its way…not comfortable cutting the 24” barrel..hope it looks ok…I have some ideas…
THANKS FOR ALL THE REPLIES…..
-
I scored a 24” .177 on eBay intending to chop it down to 22-ish and put it in the 362, but the darn thing is so accurate I may just have to learn to live with the extra 2” (assuming I can bring myself to pull it from my 1377).
-
It's like these things were meant to be .177.

Wonder whatt the next big thing would be for us folks …if Crosman decided to make a .177… :-[

I have a 24" Crosman barrel in .177 that is very accurate (the one on the right; left is a 10" LW; both with UK-made Matt Winser all-delrin LDC):

38 yards and propelled by C02.
I had them reblued.
NOTE: 10g AA pellets, or was it JSB? Anyway, they shoot the same ;D
-
Not to be sacrilege, but I bet a Daisy 880 barrel sleeved in carbon fiber tube would rock in one of these ???
-
I converted my 2240XL over to .177 . added a 12" barrel . a little more FPS where I shoot ..... awesome
-
Tracking email says all items UPS 02/16….wahoo

Did your barrel show up yet..?

Yes it did….not pellet picky either ….seeing as how Ive only got crosman and Winchester at the moment…lol…one of the best shooting guns I got……as u can tell I havent cut down the barrel……>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>yet…lol

Digging this back up.
Does anyone have any velocity numbers from one of these converted to .177? I was talking to a guy outside of this forum and he was claiming that after converting to .177 he was over driving his pellets and the gun was wildly inaccurate.
I'm currently debating between the two calibers, probably leaning .22.
Thanks.

Not sure how you can over drive pellets in a multi pump gun... just pump it less times. That's the beauty of MSP.
-
I just turned 75 and I like things simple…if my guns shoot and hit what I aim at Im a happy camper…my 367 hits a chili can @ 30 yards consistently using pretty much any pellet…thats the only testing I do (I dont kill stuff).now if I were to shoot paper @ that distance might get my feelings hurt….lol…as for overdriving no clue…I think some folks like to make things rocket science when its not needed…..good luck..
Ps…Im still undecided as to have my 24” disco barrel cut and crowned to 21’….MY 362 Shoots just fine…only reason I made a 367 was cause every body else did…lol…sad aint it….

Hey man, I thought the same thing but didn't want to question what he was saying. I'm also not sure what other (if any) mods he'd done other than barrel/breech.

Triggers can benefit from a bit of help too.
