Yes you can swap mainframes. Finding a 330 mainframe may be next to difficult though because Excalibur does not sell them outright. Re machining your 380 to 330 dimensions is another option.

If you plan on on using the C2 crank I would NOT modify the 380. Just a couple of additional cranks each time you cock the CB. JMHO

I will agree with these guys....if you have a C2 there is no need to cut it down or try to find a rail (about impossible). I'd crank away and kill some critters :)

I did it..sent the 380 rail out to dan miller and milled it down to a 330..took less than a week put the bow back together today sighted it in and went hunting..shoots and hand cocks like a dream plenty fast with a 372gr bee,crossbones scope& 2 stage trigertech..if only they had the matrix330 or a good bowtech(2014) solution 350 back when I bought the 380 I would have went
that way..any way the blacked out matrix has made me happy happy..now to sell the vixen with ageing stock & vixenmasters string and turn that $$$ into a 2014 bowtech 350 :D :D :D
