Anyone having a moderator clipping problem on Airacuda Max .30 ?

3 Dec 2023 UPDATE. I received another Max in 30 caliber from Pyramyd Air a few days ago. This replaced my previous three Max, one in each caliber that were clipping moderators due to a manufacturing defect in the air gun not the moderator. This defect has been extensively reported and commented on through most of the appropriate forms. So it's likely my new Max in 30 caliber was from a batch wherein the defect has been corrected. That means that I shot my Airacuda Max in 30 caliber with the Ronan 35 caliber moderator and it did not clip and it shot very accurately and substantially reduced the report.

I've had problems getting my 22cal to group so i posted on a airacuda Facebook page looking for answers. I posted pics of my barrel and a rough patch inside it that i have concerns with. Travis whitney commented
"just lap it out".
To me that is the wrong response. He should have said, sent it back and I'll replace the barrel! I shouldn't have to gather up a bunch of tools and products to work on and try to repair a new gun. To me it says alot about what kind of guy travis is. You don't treat your customers this way and you should stand by your products. I will not purchase nor will i refer anyone to purchase any products travis whitney is involved with.
Below are pictures of the rough patch inside the barrel. View attachment 424258

Definately send it back to your dealer or JTS as it is a defect and must (unbder law) be covered by Warranty. The response from Travis is unbelievable ! Who did you buy it from and when?

3/8" will do it for .30 Airacuda Max

The moderator clipping is a factory defect in the gun is not acceptable and should be sent back to JTS. Finally I got a 30 caliber Maxx where the defect appear to be corrected. I'm not gonna try to make a moderator hole larger just to correct the factory defect which is unacceptable.

IMHO, Travis has no ethics and I doubt that JTS does either because refuses to acknowledge the moderator clipping issue and there's more I just don't really wanna go into it because it's too upsetting. Travis is no teenager or youngster, he's a mature, at least chronologically, adult. They have that kind of response come from him is something I've seen many times before. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, the Airacuda Max is an outstanding PCP rifle. For a company with ethics and a great product and great support look to Air Venturi.
