EVOL EVOL Caliber Change (30 > 22)

[EDventure Outdoors]

Has anyone done a caliber change on the EVOL (30 > 22)? I assume sourcing a barrel and probe could be a challenge.

Also, the regulator and hammer will need reduced.

No, but I have thought about it in the past, going to a 257 caliber for a project. The new Evol's will be interchangeable like what you are looking for. Your current regulator and hammer shouldn't need to be changed, aside from the reg's settings and possibly reducing the weight of the hammer.

As far as I know you can change calibers in them as someone did it before. I think the .30 barrel somehow was bad and they swapped it to a .22 or vice versa. Our older ones can also. I believe you just need probe, barrel and brass TP part. But getting the parts would be the issue. I know Tom has that coming in the future though but who knows how long

It's probably easier to find a gently used 22 cal Mini or 15". I'm kicking myself for passing on one.

Thats what I would suggest, simply trade for the Evol you want… Good luck!

Whoa!? Just a suggestion, shoehorning a caliber change, in your case seems feasible to you. Hence your post. From my outside perspective? Not so much… Horses for courses…
