If the rear shroud mount is a nice tight fit you are going to have to chuck the barrel up and check the runout on this.
If this is a Chinese gun, you might want to have a few drinks before you start to spin the barrel. I have seen plenty that the bore wasn’t even centered in the barrel.
I.ve had a clipping issue for a few weeks...it hits end cap at 5 o'clock (see pic below) what concerned me was shroud alignment and to tight a tolerance (.25" opening in end cap IMO). My Avenger, also a .22 has a .375 opening in the end cap with no issues.. I have not removed or disturbed shroud as I also have a leak that lowers fill pressure 800 psi in 4 hours...I'm getting ready to start the warranty process...I have read on other forums that some have drilled out end cap and cured their issue....I do not want to do that because of the leak. https://u.cubeupload.com/crazyhorse4/IMG0574.jpgI like the rifle and just want to remedy the situation.
On the DAR, there is an o ring holding the barrel to the clamp and two grubs holding the clamp to the reservoir, its tight and there is zero movement. Quote from: RDB on February 09, 2021, 05:10:27 PMThe shroud support that slides on the end of the barrel. How loose is it on the barrel? And how loose is it in the shroud? I suspect bother are a little on the loose side causing your problems.

Rich,Not a recommendation but I lifted my barrel to be aligned with the reservoir and the clipping stopped, my accuracy has increased dramatically and I may even be able to enter the 10m contest now!Quote from: crazyhorse1 on February 09, 2021, 06:23:12 PMI.ve had a clipping issue for a few weeks...it hits end cap at 5 o'clock (see pic below) what concerned me was shroud alignment and to tight a tolerance (.25" opening in end cap IMO).

Snug this up if you can. Maybe one wrap of Teflon tape on the barrel. And one wrap of scotch tape around the od of the spacer.
David, after your explanation it sounds like the barrel isn't straight, too bad you couldn't remove it and roll it across a sheet of glass or chuck it up in a lathe. I watched a YT video years ago on a Marauder barrel that was way off and the guy was bending it back straight in a lathe and checking it with a meter.
Here is a question for the brain trust here: How often do I clean the barrel? With PB's I clean it after every session. With airguns, I only patch and never scrub and haven't done a polish with Flitz as I normally do. This barrel has about 500 pellets through it so far, I would think I would have a good seasoning by now...

Lots of nasty gunk in the barrel from the factory. Then went after it with jb bore paste. Stepped down to mothers mag polish and finished with Johnsons paste wax. I do this to all my new guns. My dar is a tac driver.Thing is you have to remove the barrel to do so.
A long over due follow up post on the DAR.What's next? I am going to call Joe on Tuesday and have him send me another hammer spring, or at least get the wire size and dimensions. I will then cut a coil off the hammer spring and see if my shot count increases. I may also get a chance to shoot thru the chrony on Monday as it will be in the 40s!! Then I will know for sure when it falls off the reg. I am aiming for 90 shots on the reg, lets see if I can get it there?
Good gravey! You are right, it's a. 22, Ed.
