Good find! Bear in mind that if you have feeding problems that a 180 barrel is a direct fit. In fact the 400 is just a dual CO2 repeating 180 so all parts will interchange should you stumble across a 180 'parts gun' on the cheap. FWIW----I've never owned a 180 that wasn't a stone tackdriver!   Tom

 That's a great lookin' 400! My 400 is a tack driver and a lot of fun to shoot. I always thought you could only use wadcutter type pellets in the 400 but last summer I tried CPHP's in mine just on a whim. They feed and function just fine in my gun, so you might want to try 'em if you haven't.

Thanks ! It's a shame things aren't made like this any more and like Matt said it's a tack driver.
