FX Wildcat compact .25 in the house 26" OAL

[sniperlabyo]

This what it will look like and spec if FX made one. this one was a customer order, owner thinks the .25 long is to long and ugly. Have to say this shorty is nice looking.--was setup for balance of shot count and power. was a fun and easy conversion.. 



40 FPE

30 shots

fill pressure 250 down to 140b

high 851 fps low 840 fps 25g JSB

16" smooth twist barrel

Seriously??? I just got my Wildcat .25 yesterday...now I need another one!!!

nice the .25 cat is actually a bit fugly hence why I picked up the vulcan :\

looks a little small for a big man 6'5" 300 lbs. I was thanking mind was a little small when I first got it but now would not have it any other way now.

That is just cool. I love my 22 wildcat because of the size, but prefer the 25 hitting power. That's got to be approaching the 22 in size. Did you cut down the 25 wildcat barel, or start new? The receiver on the end of the barel, is it removeable? I'm seriously condemplating sending you mine to work your majic. You do some amazing stuff. Impressive.

Short and powerful rig. It would make an excellent hunting setup with a compact scope. 30 shots @ .25 cal is enough for most hunters.

I machined a new 16" barrel, the stock .25 are 23"

the breech block are the same, just different size probe.

so all you need to convert is:

barrel and shroud or LDC $200+ , probe $35 and magazine $38

with .22 reg and hammer spring setting it was shooting around 785fps 25g.

had to make a reverse brass hammer weight with Spring quide and boost the reg pressure to 145b to get the speed up. I'm sure it will shoot faster with 155b---but I wanted the shot count at 30.

you can screw on any length LDC to made it supper quiet. The shroud installed is a FX shroud extension that you can screw on a 1/2" 20 adapter.

But this BP was made to be a truck AG that short length has the priority.

Wanted the shroud longer then the air tube---so Here's is the finial look at 26 1/4" long

I've always thought that the 22 Wildcat looks better because of the length. It's a nice idea to make it into a 25.

How is the accuracy compared to the full length 25 and how is the noise? 

 

[sniperlabyo]

It's a little louder than a full length shroud, I feel it's still quiet enough 4 me.

at 25-30 yards it shoots about the same accuracy. The short takes a little more time to aim due to being lighter.

Small and sweet

Have any of these shipped yet most sites are telling you to buy not pre-order until after they have your deposit. I am beginning to think no FX guns are in stock anywhere.

"Looks" like sniperlabyo made his own compact .25 a couple of years ago. I ordered my FX last month. Paid in full (don't know if that will make any difference when it comes time for AGD to dole them out). Seems the last I've heard it was going to be May. This seems to be a common issue with FX. The last time I visited their website the Wildcat Mk II Compact in .25 wasn't listed anywhere that I could find. I kinda asked the same question you have.....
