Ok so went down the rabbit hole last night on shrouded guns. Specifically the LX line. Watching a breakdown of a barrel with no moderator its a liner/barrel tube floating inside some spacers. No air chambers, no noise reduction i can see since its a straight tube to the end. Is this correct?

Oooooo i agree but thats why i want to know exactly what a shrouded barrel is. To me by the breakdown its a floating barrel. Now if you add a moderator on it yes "suppressor" is illegal. Shrouded is a basically a floating barrel?

The shroud acts as a cover over the barrel/ barrel liner. Some have an internal baffle system that helps with sound and poses no legal issues. If you go FX, you can swap out the factory shroud with a Huggett shroud for example that incorporates an internal sound dampening system that would also pose no legal issues. Of course you could always use the rifle factory spec, maybe it's loudness isn't much of an issue to you.

Pete,
If you want to try some different air rifles, you can visit me. I'm in Central NJ. And i have an indoor and outdoor range. Young people are welcome, I had three. They all shoot regularly.
I have lived here all my life, except for school and Uncle Sam Service.....but, if you follow the laws you will have no problem.
I have two grown children that are firearm instructor/competitors. It can be done in NJ, you just have to be stubborn.....like me!!

Thank you for your service. I was Army 98-06. I love your offer for him to visit. I'm the same way. I have a membership to a 100yd indoor range and get one guest per visit and have always been the same way. Anyone that wants to try airguns and can travel to me is always welcome to do the same.

Well thank you for both your service and your offer. I very well may take you up on that. Im in sussex county. As far as legality goes on the shroud. Is this a depends on the officer kinda deal? I have cop friends who cant even answer this. The FX broken down doesnt have ports for baffles. I just want a nice gun without leo trying to take my toys. I dont care about a moderator as i KNOW nj doesnt allow that.

If your still wanting .22, and if legal in your state, I would suggest a Bengamin Marauder, or a Umarex Notos.

I read NJ law as anything that lowers the db of an airgun is illegal. That would include any shroud that has an air path diverting pressure/air from the muzzle into the shroud, regardless of baffles etc. Im not a lawyer, but I would not be in possession of anything close in a state like NJ. I would be in possession of a U-Haul while I moved to a free state. And thats coming from a born and raised Cali-Boy.
I suggest looking at naked barrel pcps or maybe even a break barrel AA or Gamo. I might be wrong, but places like NJ have been flexing their injustice muscles lately.

But thats what im trying to say. Without a moderator on the front end it doesnt dampen anything. Watched like 20 videos on barrels with LX and all it seems to be is a floating barrel. Like a harmonics thing. The steel tube goes feom the brass gas port to the barrel end. How can that dampen decibels?

It depends on the model. For example the DRS is direct and the "shroud" isnt actually a shroud. But on the Maverick, Wildcat, Impact, etc there is an air stripper between the muzzle and the end of the shroud. This diverts air into the shroud, and most other makes/models are similar.

Depends on New Jersey’s “interpretation” of the law.
But to me, a suppressor is a suppressor. And a shrouded barrel is just a shrouded barrel.
The one circled has a shrouded barrel with a suppressor.

This thread will be of little help as you will get 200 different suggestions. I would just do a lot of YouTube research.
