Yes! This was me. Before i found AG Nation I didn't know where to look, so I asked on different reviews of the Mod 130. I think I asked on Amazon too.

Hatsan Mod 130s Vortex QE problem with end of barrel.
- Thread starter mattygunz
- Start date
The cap on my Mod 130 was super tight. I loosened it with a pair of linesman pliers and then it came right off. I'm not sure if the 125 is the same.

I have been dealing with Hatsan for years. They have always treated me great. Their customer service form is a bit confusing. However they alway have gotten back to me within 72 hours. They have also invoiced parts for me. Sent a email so I can pay.

How do you get the shroud off?Id rather have a true solid steel " normal" barrel . Got near you have no choice but the soda straw shrouded today just about on anything .. my next favorite thing is not putting sights on guns..lol. Like buying a car with no steering wheel..lol.
Kinda a long shot thing is s my 2 hatsans the leade hole was cut straight and a sharp inner hole edge. I felt ot could nick/ scrape the pellet head when loading and cause flyers.
So i beveled that slightly ( removed the sharp edge). I honestly think it helped.

P.s...
Hatsan said you can carefully wash the pads if they get looking too dirty or clogged . Warm soapy water and air dry.. fyi. They also warned to wear rubber gloves for the lead contamination from them.

The shroud is held on by a 14mm hex head nut. The nut is made of aluminum, and very brittle. I would not suggest trying to remove it. I built an extension for my crowning tool that allowed me to re-crown without removing the barrel shroud. This Hatsan 95QE went from a poor shooter to one of the best I’ve ever owned after this simple procedure.

This is the shroud nut Bear mentioned.
Not made of the best quality metal and not hard to round off if you're not careful. If you still want to try it, Get a 14mm socket, an extension and a ratchet. Unscrew the end cap of the shroud and be careful because it has an o-ring on it. Remove the spacers, baffles and felt. Suggest you lay them out exactly how they came out so you can put them back in in the right order.
Now just be very careful about sliding the socket/extension in there and don't try to force things to take that nut off. Your results might well vary, but the ones I've done while tight, didn't need a lot of muscle to break loose.
Hatsan does a lousy crown job on their barrels (although they're not the only company that does), what mine looked like before and after and as Bear mentioned, makes a world of difference when you're done:

I used every socket I had including 14-16mm nothing even tried to fit i wonder if it’s female and not male?

Flashlight should answer that if you haven't already taken a look with one, but it should look like the one in my picture.
New and Hatsan changed what they use? Used and someone else already rounded it off? @Bear-of-Grayling any thoughts??

The new nuts are made of aluminum. I tried to remove one and the hex portion easily snapped off. It wasn’t even making contact with the male threaded portion. If I now wanted to remove the nut, I would need the tool Hatsan has that would include the rods to engage the holes on the nut. Or send the barrel to Hatsan for removal of the nut. There really is no reason to remove the shroud. Just make an extension rod to hold a Dremel gringing bit and re-crown with the shroud left on. It sounds like this is what is going on here as well.

Never took mine off due to the ram going flat .. lol ..
The Gamo has that nut I just put sockets on it to one fit but did not look at the size .. it worked so ..lol. Good enough ..
