Title: Wildcat mk2 should shroud touch receiver?
Post by: Daga on April 03, 2018, 10:33:55 AM

Hi everyone,

I just got my Wildcat mk2 in .25 cal, and have a question. Should the shroud butt up against the receiver flush or is it meant to have
a small gap between the receiver and the shroud?

If by receiver you mean the barrel support, then yes. Gap is good.

Yes, and try different amounts of pressure on the shroud to receiver. Yes, it's a receiver! LOL!!!

I figured if I could butt the shroud up to the receiver, and that would help with the barrel shifting downward when putting a moderator on it. I've tried a few different moderators, but all seem to shift the impact of the round down. If the shroud was flush against the receiver I thought that would mitigate the impact issue, because the barrel then couldn't shift much if at all. But the space between the barrel and the receiver might play some sort of role in stability of the round?
