    According to the Firearms Act, 1964, Section 11 you shouldn't need to re-apply since the fee for the license for the .177 air rifle does not exceed the fee for the .17HMR.

    Sometimes you have to reapply when the calibre/energy of the rifle is upgraded but since you're moving down in power from .17HMR to .177 air rifle you should be fine.
