when i had my 400 classic i wanted to do the same thing as your asking,i talked to a guy called matt975 i think hes on here and airgun forum makes moderators, hes the guy to ask about it, in the end i made my own,bought some carbon fibre tube think it was 12mm id took of the moderator and barrel clamp ,cut and fitted the tudbe up too the barrel clamp (you could bore the clamp out and take the tube straight through it),refit the clamp then fit the tube between the clamp and the moderator ,job done . it looks good make the barrel look not so spindly. i got the tube off e-bay. hope this helps.good luck.

That's what I am after doing for my S400 and S410 but with the asking around I have done the S510 FAC or S410 FAC the breach block is slightly bigger than normal so it gives you more distance to play with for your carbon fibre. But it has been done the only snag is its more for aesthetics has the gap between the barrel and carbon fibre the distance ends up about 1mm circumfrence nothing more and you have to get an over larged barrel band from rowan engineering so you can run the tubing all the way through. But if you do manage to out source it let me know has I would like mine doing also thx and good luck.

ive sold the rifle now ,but i have some pics not that they show much of the shroud tube,i tried to put them on here but no luck :( , what i did was to use o rings at the ends of the tube when fitting it also on the moderator end i taper reamed the inside of the tube too fit the moderator,on the barrel band end if your really careful you can cut it square and then with the o rings butt it up too the barrel band same with the action end of the tube, yes its just for the look of the thing but it deff looks better than a spindly barrel ,well i thought so . have a go see what you can do, im sure i got the carbon fibre tube off ebay im sure theres other colours and types that you can use, measure the o/d of the barrel and the get the tube with the right i/d too fit. good luck guys, im sure you can do it if i did it. :lol: .
