DonnyFl Clipping issues

Hey guys,


Say I have been shooting my ghost more lately trying to get a slug worked up. Before when I had my 30 barrel I was using a DonnyFl Yokozuna and was having really bad clipping issues with both pellets and slugs. I thought I had a massive issue with the barrel not shooting, but when the Yoko was removed everything was fine. Well now that I have my 22 barrel I wanted went to test pellets and slugs today. Well I was able to get some basic tests done and accuracy looked decent with a few pellets and a few of my slugs. But when I put on either the Ryu or the Yokozuna I was watching the projectiles spiral like crazy. Removed the units and the accuracy was right back to where it should be.

I am wondering if anyone else is having issues with the quick removal mount on these units? I have a few other units to try out but with this ghost I am not having any luck with the Donny units on this rifle.

The original barrel had the full shroud and not in the 22 I have the tension barrel kit.


So what are you guys experiencing with these units?
 
Not familiar with the ghost. But I have been watching some DonnyFL videos and actually considering those same devices. Could this be the difference from a shroud based connection compared to directly threading to the barrel? From my readings, and watching, the shroud based connection has more issues with alignment.

It's not the donny itself if i had to bet. Zero clipping on my stuff even when I run 25 in my 22 mods. The qd works great too. Make sure there's no debris in the qd area to misalign the moderator. Iirc the bore on the 22/25 donny is .3125 or close enough to it. I just copied their bore on an experiment I was working on and no clipping with my home brew stuff. Do as you see fit, but I put a light at the open chamber and eyeball thru the mod and down the bore to see how lined up everything is.

I have used both of these units on many different rifles with no issues. I am only getting the clipping with the ghost.

The original 30 cal was used with the shroud and the air stripper. So there was a chance for some misalignment. Though now with the tension kid on the threads are basically on the barrel itself. I suppose I could remove everything and just go right off the barrel, but it would be nice to not have to worry about that. I am going to try other units of course, but wanted to see if others were seeing the same thing.

I do have other adapters and I did try those as well to see if it was the mounting point that was bad. But I am still seeing the clipping issue.

The newer YOKOZUNA and Ryu have pretty tight bores.. and they are heavy.. I found them awesome for my use because they go treaded directly in to the barrel. So i have little chance of clipping . But to be used in a shroud if there's is something with a little wiggle or more play that it should have.. you are really Goin to have problems, in the case of these tight bore moderators the advice is to be a size over .. these moderators where not designed to make guns silent..the are made to handle high power air guns and make possible to use them without hearing protection..
