Synrod accuracy woes ...

[kbstingwing]

there's a reason the Baffles are getting clipped, they should not ever get clipped, sounds to me that the barrel band is up against the shroud or shroud is loose.

Kevin,

You got me thinking.  TJ, is it possible part #28, Barrel Shroud Spacer, is damaged and not centering the end of the barrel in the shroud?

Taso, you are referring to part no 8 on the Benji EVP of the Marauder (Barrel Shroud Spacer), and NO it is fine and clean with NO damage or anything.

Let me explain, that when I got the rifle, two or three baffles were clipped, so I changed all of them - just because! None of them have been clipped since or now. However the shroud screw down cap was clipped  - and hard! Now that I put back the widened one, everything is fine. I do not have any clipping .

TJ,

Great!  Just checking.

Is this a gen 1 or gen 2 Mrod since they have different design baffles between the two versions. The gen 1 has baffles that have the closed end that's 90 degrees to the shroud /barrel length with no spring, the gen 2 are cone shaped on the one end and have a spring between the diffuser with o ring on the end of the barrel and the baffles.

It may be a shroud or barrel that is bent enough to cause the misalignment with the pellet trajectory right as it leaves the shroud end cap clipping the small holed one. Did you measure the one it clipped to make sure its for a .22 not a .177 as I would say it should be at least .250" or bigger. If its less than the 1/4"-.250" then its likely for a .177.

I would at least remove the shroud and roll it on a piece of glass or other known flat surface to see if its bent and eyeball the barrel  from above as compared to the air tube to see if its possibly bent. Something has to be out of alignment for the pellet to clip the shroud end cap without hitting the inner hole of the baffles as well.

Mike, Thank you.

This is a Synrod, ie Gen2 with the cone shaped baffles and spring. I replaced them and I know they are .22 because I ordered them. I have no issues at this time with the gun. The end cap may have got clipped from double feeding and shooting out two pellets at the same time. It's happened before.

The clipped baffles were in the gun when I got it ... but not anymore.
