Daystate Moderator problem

[Csbrown5]

I have had moderators on my rifles for a long time over a period of time. I have noticed that the pellet will clip the end of the moderator and divert the pellet What can I do to fix this? I have bought new shrouds and it still does it. This is on a Daystate Red Wolf.

You could try adding a small oring over the threads on the adapter for the supressor to seat up against instead of a direct metal to metal contact.

You can drill the bore out a little larger if you don't want to buy a new suppressor for a larger caliber.

The barrel is 30 caliber I have put a 25 caliber barrel on it and it does the same thing

I think everyone is going to need a little more information like, what caliber suppressor are you running now, I'm guessing 30 cal.? When did it start? After the barrel change? And lastly, call AOA and pick their brains, they know the most about daystates and brococks.

Try the o-ring advice. It's kept my mod perfectly squared with the barrel. EASY fix. Just how badly yours is clipping we don't know. Pictures would help. More than likely the o-ring trick and/or boring your exit hole to a larger diameter will fix it.

What kind of moderator? If its a Donny call him he will get it solved

Have you tried a1/4" steel rod from the hardware store as a measure?

I had the adapter come off and AOA told me to glue it back on with JB. and that still did it, bought a new shroud and it still did it. It is a 30 caliber moderator. I have four barrels for it and each one of them all have different shrouds for them. It clips on the 30 and 25 not the 22 or 177

I will have to try the quarter inch rod

My guess is the mods threads or end cap are not square to the bore axis. If it does it on different barrels either every barrels thread tennon and shoulder are not square to the bore axis or the mods threaded cap, flat face of said cap that seats against the barrels shoulder, muzzle end cap or one of the internal holes are not square to the bores axis.

If I was to use the rod method I'd use a brass rod to minimumize the chance of damaging the barrel.

Easy to see this too, by simply rolling it on a glass smooth tabletop to see if the holes move up and down as it rolls.

I had that very issue with a new magazine. It clipped with both my .22 and .25 barrels. Sent it back and they sent me a new one that has been fine with zero clipping ever since.

Not necessarily. Mine did not show any runout. I suspect that the threaded cap was bored center, but not straight. A degree or two off of the center line of the moderator, but I did not look into it that far since they agreed to send me a new one.
