Hello! I recently purchased an internally suppressed Benjamin Armada. I have had a couple suppressor baffle strikes after only about 3 mags. I also noticed the gap between the barrel shroud and the air cylinder is not evenly spaced all the way down. Starting at the breech if I slide a playing card between them it gets pinched near the muzzle. The Armada uses a free floating barrel with no barrel band, is this spacing between the barrel and air cylinder normal? I first noticed it when placing the gun down the barrel shroud bumped the cylinder making a "tink" sound... And then after some questionable accuracy at only 30 yards where 50 yards wasnt an issue a few rounds ago I took the muzzle end cap off and noticed a good sized chip on the back side, I then slid out the damaged baffles and tiny bits of plastic and lead flakes... Is my gun defective? Is it correctable? Only had it 1 week today. Thanks for any help!

how did the box look when you recieved it?
was it beat up? could have been damaged in shipping

It is possible it got damaged in shipping.
I am a Warranty Center if you want the gun completely gone over at no cost. Plus I test accuracy. You don’t need to contact Crosman.

Welp... I found out what my issue was. I fired the rifle without the suppressor baffles in out of curiosity... In doing so I also unknowingly launched my shroud spacer about 50 yards. Found it in the grass this morning. Rifle now fires consistently and accurately even with the chipped baffles.
