To Gijs, and others, not all the nuts are steel. Actually I haven't seen one in steel. All three of mine are brass, and at least 2 (purchased new) were not locktighted.

I emailed Donny asking if he could have his machinist (is it John H?) make a small batch of jam nuts with 6+ mm allen centers, the stock nut takes a 4 mm, at least on mine. If he can't/won't than we should fine someone else. No damage, no mess, no issues. Not free, but the right solution.

You are absolutely right, there are some brass one's around, but they are also brass color, and they have the spring guide attached (the long pin) They indeed have a 4mm hex.

Most full power, and .22+ versions have the steel nut like Chuck is showing, which has a 6mm hex. The hex is easily stripped, because it is very, very thin.

A lot of the guns with the steel nut also have a hammer weight. Easier said, the guns with a hammer weight have the steel nut, ad the one's without hammer weight have the brass one. The brass nuts are better than the steel nuts, but can only be used for the lower powered versions who don't need a hammer weight.

I hope the links I provided will help some one. chuck get a lathe, a door of million possibilities would open.

I've yet to even try to remove my Wildcats HSN. I really want to start shooting slugs when the liner comes out and I know I will need to remove this damn thing. There's a lot of smart people here and plenty of FX guns that need this part made. I know I would be happy to pay for the convenience of having such a part on hand when the time comes.
