Edgun 30 Cal Pellet Clipping and THE FIX – pic heavy

OK. guys.. Go easy on me !!!! I am by far NOT a Professional Machinist…. Just a half ass Hack 😯

Part 1 : Upon discovering the pellet clipping problem after delivery of my R3 30 cal… At 7pm Friday Night…. I was on a mission !!!
So I first made a “Moderator Nut” removal tool….

Part 2: Early Saturday morning I had the Inspiration to modify the above to add an “Alignment Rod”.
The idea was to have a “Stepped” rod that fit Snugly into the Barrel while at the same time holding the moderator in alignment… All while being able to tighten the “Moderator Nut”……. Piece of Cake… 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
(and not damage to barrel and Crown)

The idea was to hold the Moderator in line with the Barrel while “SLOWLY” snugging down the “Moderator Nut”. This was a slow process to turn the nut 1/8 at a time … Remove the tool, Then check for alignment and then Repeat until the nut was Tight.

After Reassembly of the the gun. I did a final check with the alignment tool to ensure that nothing had shifted. I am happy to say I accomplished this on the first try. The rod slid in the moderator and snugly eased in the the Barrel. ( I did my best to hold less then 0.001 tolerance on the Barrel alignment Rod fit and then stepped it up to fit the Moderator hole.

This was what the moderator looked like after 20 shots… I think it worked 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

And for “Big Eddie’s” Reward,… I topped him off with a nice piece of Glass…….

NOW i bet you guys want Chrono Strings … DB Reading…. Accuracy testing…… I AM TIRED AND HUNGRY … MORE TO FOLLOW

Mark…

Happy Edgun Owner…..
