HI folks.
I am going to get a Red Wolf, probably in 22 HP. I have a Wolverine HP R in .177. I understand that new a caliber/barrel change will require programming/Heliboard. I also understand that it will require new pellet probes and barrel adapter (not sure what it is called). So these are givens.

My. First question…. Can I use the .177 barrel in the Red Wolf. ?

Second question, can I change the RW .22 to a RW .25?

Aof A has the barrels and probes and barrel breech item. I am just wondering if the orafice supplying the puff of air for actually firing the pellet will be sufficiently adequate, OR……….Do I need to BEGIN with a .25 caliber and then purchase the .22 bbl.

If you have any experience doing this or know the answers, please let me know. Thanks….
 
The 25 and 30 are the same and are the largest porting on both the frame and valve. The 22 is slightly smaller and the 177 smaller yet. Starting with a 25 will give best results for caliber switching because of this. The valve and frame CAN be drilled out but it will be a pretty delicate operation on the valve. This applies to the HP with 23" barrel. I'm fairly certain that the Wolverine R HP uses the same size barrel as a RW but the Standard and HP are not the same. The Standard has a smaller diameter breech end and the barrels are shorter and standard rifled where the HP is polygonal.
Note that the tuning will be different if you have a 177 with original porting vs a 25 cal switchout to 177. With a HELIBOARD, caliber switch isn't difficult but you might have to spend some time tuning it to get the shot string flat on each power level/intended caliber and projectile. Once tuned, you swap the barrel and probe and switch to your tuned power level. There are 12 independent power levels in the HELIBOARD vs 3 in the DS board.

Heliboard isn't REQUIRED. You either have to buy a programmer, or take it to someone with one. @Spray1Mark wrote a detailed thread on using the programmer. it's worth reading if you're contemplating going that route.

Daystate - THE DAYSTATE PROGRAMMER-LET'S TALK ABOUT (PROPERLY) PROGRAMMING THE REDWOLF

Dear all, after discussions with members on AGN and comments by some recently, I am going to start a thread discussing the programming of the DAYSTATE REDWOLF using the handheld programmer. This will be a fun Q&A hopefully, please post questions on the thread for all to see, not via PM as it...

The Heliboard is just more convenient and a little less expensive than the programmer...
