I'm new to fx, and would like to know, what all would I need to change calibers using the 700mm tension sleeve ? Thanks for all advice. Right now my gun is set up as a 357 with the STX barrel.

Like I stated, I'm new to fx. So when you say the entire barrel kit, what all is in the kit ? Thanks

Here you go.......a link.......
FX Impact STX Superior Barrel Kits 500mm-700mm
Most current design, FX Impact Smooth Twist X Barrel Kit. Features rifling throughout the entirety of the barrel instead of the last few inches. This design is unlike any other barrel made. The rifling is pressed from the outside resulting in a smooth surface that has never been achieved inside...

Actually you need…
Barrel Front Jam nut
Barrel Extension
Barrel Brass Port end.
Plus Barrel, CF Barrel Stiffener, and mag….. all in the Caliber you want to change to
So Simply said… the only part Not replaced is the Outer Barrel Tube!!!!

Depending on the caliber you swap to, adjusting your regulators and possibly changing your hammer may be in order too.
In summary: You will need different magazines, a pellet or slug probe, tranfer port, barrel liner (heavy or stx depending on slugs or pellets), moderator if you use one, etc.... FX and vendors of Fx sell whole barrel assemblies with the barrel portion already put together. Cost is between 300 and 400 last I checked. This still doesn't address any hammer weight adjustments though.

I recently discovered you also need to have the correct shroud/muzzle adapter. For some reason FX uses 3 different internal diameter 1/2-20 adapters. So you can go down in caliber but not up. Otherwise you will need the correct shroud as well. I was shooting 30 cal slugs through a 0.242" hole at ~950fps.

Since I use the Harmonic tuning shrouds...
The Shroud came came with the spare threaded adapters.....

Thanks everyone for your help. Think I'll just get the stx tensioner barrel kit. Thanks again
