My question is can I change barrels out on it to a 22 caliber? I have a Helliboard in the gun
Tuning Daystate RedWolf HP 30 cal

Yes... you will need a 22 probe also. With my 30 barrel, I was using pl 12 and 90.0 v for 50.1 gn at 900. The 22 with 25.4s thrives on pl 8 at 90.0 to 91.0 v for 960 to 980 fps.
Enjoy!

Thanks I did know that I needed a probe, I do have a 22 standard Red Wolf. I am not getting the group that I what at 100 yards

Bob, that is good to know. How difficult of a job is it? I'm mechanically "challenged". Any idea on a "ball park" figure on cost?

If you are going up the porting may need to be changed.
I was talking with AOA, not to long ago, about what it would take to make my .22 RedWolf into a .25. The items you have mentioned as well as possible porting was the answer I got. Though if I were to go down in caliber size it would be much easier. Then it would just be the above parts, and some tweaking of the Heliboard.

Csbrown5 I just did that exact thing about a month ago! I have only shot the JSB 25.39 redesigned out of it other than through the crony I also shot some 18 grainers. On the low power setting I'm getting 945 FPS with the 25.39's with very good accuracy and I haven't had a chance to tune at all yet with the tuner. but I don't think I will see much improvement as it's that good!! The 18's were almost 1100 FPS so I didn't mess with them at all. I can only imagine what you could do with slugs as the power would be unlimited. I mostly use the gun now for pesting and didn't need 30 cal. for that so that's why the change. It took me almost 6 months to get the kit so get one ordered as it seems to work out fine and is super simple to change over. Good luck J.L.

I didn't know the Red wolf could caliber swap too, thought only Delta Wolf HP could do that. I like to appearance of the Red wolf much better. Maybe one of these days I'll have enough coin to get one. A big swing from 30 down to 177 for FT would be nice. Yes I know, sight it back in and all that.

Greg-_E I also have a Red Wolf (low power in .177) that I use for Field Target. I just can not warm up to the looks of the Delta Wolf either, It might be the greatest gun in the world but I will never know as I just couldn't have a gun that damn ugly. That big box on the back of it that holds the electronics and battery I guess just looks so out of place and like a preschooler designed it to me! But to each his own I guess!! You sure don't hear or see much about them sense the the first ones hit the USA J.L.

I agree... great group 
A little clarification ... a std power and HP barrel are NOT interchangeable. Any std is interchangeable with any other std. Any HP is interchangeable with any other HP. The valves and some of the frames have different sized ports. A 25 cal HP shares the port size of the 30 and is the largest (most flow). A 177 has smallest ports and the 22 is in between it and the 25. The frame port can be enlarged and the valve body port can be enlarged or valve body swapped. As was mentioned you can go down in caliber with only a barrel and probe but going up may require more cost or work. (Port enlarging) A std should not really be a base for a HP upgrade. The valves and frame can be ported but the breech end barrel mounting is too much different .
Sorry if I misunderstood that you had a std that you were hoping to upgrade the power, earlier.
Hope this helps...
