Would there be a way to modify the Marushin 8mm M1 to a 6mm rifle?

There are two answers to this: It is simple to make the rifle shoot 6mm bb's (just simply fit a new, 6mm barrel in where the 8mm is) It is not simple to make the rifle reliably chamber and fire 6mm bb's. This is because in order to use the magazines, you need to modify them to hold the 6mm bb's, then you need to modify the bolt to strip off 1 6mm bb, instead of 1 8mm bb (as the 6mm's are smaller, you risk the bolt doublefeeding 6mm's if it was made for 8mm's). After modifying all of that, you need to make sure all the loading surfaces (the feedramp, and assundry parts leading from magazine to chamber) are able to cradle a 6mm and direct it into the chamber, without letting it fly loose (as if they are designed to cradle an 8mm, the 6mm is smaller so has more wiggleroom). I don't know if you will have to do all those things, but i just thought i should point it out, as 8mm's and 6mm's have a significant size difference.
