DonnyFl Clipping issues

[woogie_man]

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.

Fwiw im on fx guns but im running shroud to qd adapter to ronin on my impact very successfully.

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.

If you're screwing onto a 12/20x1/2 adapter try putting a small o-ring around base of threads before screwing on mod. It just might help align things. Don't overtighten.

 

[woogie_man]

I will give that a try and see what happens

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..
