I am 100% in.
First off, i like to clarify before this spirals out of hand. I guesstimate it myself that this will be a 350$ barrel. It can be be more or it can be less depends on the outcome whether this is do able or not by dlask
Ok, so when i took it apart, it seems like the feed ramp and for the lack of a better term chamber is a collar which attached to the back end of the barrel. I have not try to remove that as i didn want to damage it, but from the looks of it, either pressed on or threaded on kinda like an AR barrel. Maybe thats the reason why they said its gunsmith fit only as there maybe headspace issues, liability and finally hope it wont blow up in your face risk.
Then again, i agreed with walmart,that on rimfire central people were doing their own sbr swap on the gsg5 once they got their tax stamp.

After a second look we are thinking that the barrel may have the extension / trunnion cast directly onto it. This would mean it is not changeable. We are going to see if we can buy just a barrel and remove it (hoping it is threaded) as we don't want to damage the customer's rifle here.
If the trunnion is threaded on we are looking at $199.99 for a target price on a new barrel. This of course does not include the work of changing it out. Once we get a spare barrel to constructively deconstruct we will update this thread.

Dang ! Good find ! OK, I will try to unscrew it today and let y'all know what happens. If it indeed does just unscrew then these will be fairly quick and easy to make. The only issue is the extractor notch will need to be cut specifically for each trunnion. This requires a bit of skill, a Dremel with a cut-off wheel and a steady hand. . .
Stand by !
