FX FX DRS off-center in chassis?!

[Marcusinfestus]

So, I just dropped my FX DRS into a Deltaforce chassis, and it is nowhere near centered.

While it is not making contact in the barrel channel, it is bothering the hell outta me.

am I wrong to expect more from a $1,000 chassis? Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanx!

Take pictures and send it back

 

[SilentSquirrel]

No you are not wrong in your expectations
And it seems to me the best place to start would be contacting the dealer you bought it from

just my go-to sense

*sigh
I just sent a message to my guys at Utah Airguns; I know they'll take care of me, but I was so excited to have this done

Maybe something on the side and lower part of the gun is sticking out a little making contact with the chassis thus offsetting it? Maybe a pin or a screw???

I didn't know that bedding exists or what it means until I got my f-class from second hand, and I take it apart to do some modding on the stock rear bottom.

I'm going to take it out and try again; I'll look for that. Thanx!

Yeah, that can make a HUGE difference.

I will say, this was a "like a glove" Fit that you don't get from centerfire rifle stocks. I would have to remove ALOT of material to change the way it sets down. It may as well have been professionally bedded off-center lol I am really hoping I discover that its just something simple when I tear it down today...

 

[steve123]

Personally I'd rather have only the action bedded and the shroud not touching anything if possible. Any expansion or contraction to the shroud via the amount of air in it, or by the temps, or direct sunlight, might cause a shift.

 

[Marcusinfestus]

That is the idea, yeah.

There is no barrel shroud contact in the barrel channel, but it's real close on one side and it bugs me... it'll probably shoot just fine, but for the money I spent, I just feel let down.
