Anyone know anything about the possibility of anyone selling a left side cocking assembly for the Wildcat, (Mk III in my case) ?

FX Wildcat, left side cocking lever
- Thread starter MikeVV
- Start date
Thanks for the info. Another mentioned this, but I couldn't find any info.
Not left handed, but much prefer cocking on the left side (middle position lever).
That leaves the "support" hand to do the work, while the trigger hand is left in place..! Don't have to find comfortable positions for your trigger hand and possibly your cheek weld, for shooting..."again..".
Seems counterintuitive to have to disturb everything, just to cock the gun...when it doesn't have to be that way. Especially for all of you bipod shooters.
The EDGUN guys got it right, their guns come both ways out of the box..!
Thanks again.

Looks like a good head start.
They seem to have the parts, now FX just needs to make up packaging, instructions and sell it as a kit. That doesn't cost too...much.

Hmm, if the "lefthand gun" as shown in the ad above is the solution, that's not much of an improvement IMO. I would want the magazine out of my face, but the cocking on the right. Just for the reason MikeVV perfectly describes above. So i was hoping for some sort of a cheekriser or so. Same as one can buy (not from FX) for the earlier versions.
Another reason why I don't like lefthanded guns besides the cocking is the reduced 2nd hand sell possibility. (like only 10% of the whole market would be interested...)

Me as a righthander also prefer the cocking handle on the left side . Maybe the advertised gunnis not so much meant as a lefthander gun but just an other righthander gun with alternativ handel position for those righthanders who prefer this. A real lefthander gun would definately need the magazin and cheek piece on the other side isn’t it ?

“There will be a solution coming soon for left handed shooters!

FX Airguns USA”
Please let us know what the solution will be ? Magazine and cheek piece on left side as well or only cocking handle side switch ?

For what it's worth...
Not for a left handed shooter. But MUCH more practical for a right handed shooter..!
* Right handed cocking lever - right handed shooter = The shooter must remove his / her hand from the trigger/grip to cock the weapon. With a well placed grip, this is a waste of motion / time. Head movement may or may not require movement.
* Left handed cocking lever - right handed shooter = The shooter just removes his / her support hand from the forend to cock the weapon. This leaves the grip hand solid on the grip/trigger, no wasted movement. Head does not require movement.
This is especially beneficial when shooting offhand. And being that this is a bullpup style weapon, it's designed (short !) to be shot offhand.

i don't know about the Wildcat, but the Impact you barely have to move your hand from the grip to cock it.

Krale the importer in The Netherlands will probably perform with great service by creating this left side cocking right handed rifle for me. I will hear from them ( salesman Nico) next week if they manage ...

Very disappointing...

Moving your trigger hand..."at all"...disrupts the grip..!
koosh -
Thanks for the bad news. They do a lot of other nice work, why not do a proper cocking handle for right handers ?
Oh well.
