I have a new to me Stoeger X20, and I'm afraid the baffles have been damaged.
I'd like to replace them, but I don't know if the end cap of the shroud is removable, and since parts are as scarce as hens teeth, I don't want to "Bubba" it trying to get the cap off.
So if anyone has some insight to this, please chime in. I bought it on a whim and it turned out to be much better than I expected. But every once in a while, it seems that the fired pellet will clip something as it travels through the barrel, and in the worst case it even throws sparks.
I believe a .177 may have found its way into the baffles and is the root of the problem, by becoming a "bridge" between the fired pellet and the baffles.
The rifle is retired until I get this sorted out.
Thanks all!
