Issue with DonnyFL and Kral NP-03 ( or is it me?)

[LTChip]

Installed the adapter then attempted to install the barrel shroud and the bottom of the adpater hits the crown of the bbl before it even reaches the barrel shroud threads. I can get it installed if I back out the adapter and then it catches a few threads but that can't be how this is designed to be.

OR

Am I doing something totally wrong?

Doesn’t the NP-03 come from the manufacture with a threaded adaptor on the shroud already?

If you’re trying to use the DonnyFL Kral adapter for the Puncher Breaker with the integrated baffle it might be too long if there’s not a lot of space between the end of the barrel and end of the shroud. I don’t have a NP-03 so I’m not sure how much room there is.
Your options are to try and cut the baffle end off the adapter, make/use a longer shroud, or move the shroud support at the breech end forward and leave a gap at the breech end. Or just use the OEM adapter if you have it.
You definitely don’t want to leave the adapter lose and only catching a couple of threads.

yeah - I think DonnyFL shoud make a shorter adapter that strips air on an NP-03 but this one he sold me definatley does not fit.
The stock adapter does allow direct installation of the Sumo which was why I was confused as to why he said I needed the adapter in the first place however I can see where the adapter he makes would make the shroud functional thereby quieting the gun down more. The one that comes with this gun has an o-ring and is flat so it really negates any sound suppression capability of the shroud.

what is the function of a shroud anyway? this is not common in powder guns so I am a bit confused.

Factory shroud cap doubles as the barrel centering device. You will get clipping if you use anything else. Barrel is the full length of the shroud and non functional. Only adds stiffness to the barrel.

I need to return these adapters that he sold me I guess. thanks thammer
