An interesting observation: Royale 500 .25 vs Wildcat .25

"hsnmz"Very interesting to know that. I have a swedish wildcat in .25 (non Fac) for which I have ordered a FAC kit. lets see how does it perform with the kit. I am planning to set it to 910-920 fps with Kings

What is this FAC Kit? If it is within my budget to beef up the power on the Wildcat, I might return it to my buy list.

Hello Ted. I also had some problems with my new royale. Try to disassemble shroud barrel and compensator barrel, shot only with barrel, you may have a surprise.
Best regards

FAC KIT ??????????????

Certain counties require an FAC license to own anything over 12 FPE. The rifles that are sold to those countries likely have a lighter hammer spring and/or smaller transfer port. I assume an FAC "kit" would only bring the rifle up to US specs.

Wa-waaa. Michael, nice explanation, although a let down. Good information. Thanks.

On another subject but your side by side photo gave me a chance to compare length of pull from trigger shoe to butt pad. The Wildcat looks to be shorter by at least 1" maybe more. This was the problem I had with the Wildcat I really liked the quality of the gun but it was too short for me I wish I would have kept it and added some sort of stock extension. If funds become available I may buy their laminated stock version and put on a nice adjustable pad on it. Sorry to get off topic but your picture helped my suspicion.
