Aquiring a compact bottle and barrel Western Sidewinder

[SenseiSmash]

Good afternoon AGN.
So I have seen That AOA will not sell individual Western Airgun parts to the end consumer and either will Western (hopefully not the full case)
Has anyone successfully sourced a shorter bottle and barrel to convert a Sidewinder to a compact from the standard size?
If so please elaborate.
Thanks in advance!

I have a standard Sidewinder .30 and pre-ordered a .30 Compact but cancelled for that reason. No parts, no repair videos, no o-ring sizes, nothing except "send it to us". I'm done with companies that do not help the end user to continue to use the products we regretfully have already purchased from them. Looks like another LCS screwing in the works. I may even sell the one I have.

When I got my Sidewinder I am almost positive the guy said that parts were available through them. Where did you hear they don't sell them?

Somewhere on this site, I believe. I went to their site. I see no link for parts:

Western Airguns

OUR AIRGUNS

westernairguns.com

I see nothing regarding o-ring sizes on their site or in the manual. No exploded diagram, no part # list either.
