Daystate Shroud
While removing the fill port on my Daystate X2 I accidently ‘twisted’ my shroud. When I put things back together my groups had opened up considerably. I suspected clipping so I tried truing the shroud. I loosened the grub screws securing the shroud and tried to let it seat itself, as well as visually aligning, before retightening. The groups dramatically improved but there are still enough errant shots to make me wonder if clipping, although very slight, is still occurring. How would I go about assuring the shroud is properly aligned? I’m comfortable taking apart my AF rifles but not so much with the Daystate.
Thanks!

Thanks guys, I’ll give it a try. I had thought about something along those lines but I thought there may be a trick I wasn’t aware of.
Hey, if you go with sticking something down the bore and don’t want to scratch it up, I’d say get a long piece of Delrin rod and turn it down to the size you need. Delrin is pretty…slimy?? I don’t know how to describe it, it’s soft, low friction, but strong and flexible. Hope that lil idea helps!
How about a cleaning rod, or dowel, or? to stick down the bore to be sure the bore lines up with the shroud, it would have to be a snug fit, but something that would not scratch the bore.
