Got It, Shot It, Modified It! (FX Wildcat MK2 .25 caliber)

[JoeKool]

 

Hello Airgun Nation Peoples,

Had to finish the FX Airguns trifecta! I had a bullpup fever , so a FX Wildcat Mk2 .25 caliber Walnut was the only prescription! Well to make a long story short, I was on the fence between the new Air Arms S510 XS or the FX Wildcat Mk2. Wanted a S510 badly but all of my pcp airguns are rifle style (FX Crown & Streamline) so why be redundant. Chose the bullpup! I’m familiar with FX and the tear down and tuning is simple to me. Anyway, got it, shot it, and then modified it. (I knew just what I wanted to do to it, same mods to my Crown & Streamline) In the first week here’s the list of mods and accessories:

1. FX No-Limit adjustable mounts
2. Hawke Sidewinder FFP 4-16x50
3. Scope mounted bubble level
4. Sling studs & Sling
5. Accu-tac Picatinny rail
6. Carbon fiber wrapping on barrel shroud & air cylinder 
7. Huma Regulator (135bar setting)
8. Clear gloss polyurethane finish on the Walnut stock
9. Stock mounted spare magazine holder
10. DonnyFL FX Wildcat.25 shroud extender with 1/2 x 20 UNF adapter
11. FX Airguns addition DonnyFL Tanto 

Accessories to come:

* Smooth Twist X liners (various types)
* 4x Spare Magazines 

Again HUMA Regulated averaging 930fps with JSB 25.39 Kings(48-49fpe 55 shots per fill on the regulator), and like all my FX PCP’s same hole at 50 yards. No surprise I’m well pleased! .

Thank you everyone!!

Carbon Fiber wrapping is from Amazon. This stuff is automobile grade. Designed to be put on cars so it’s plenty durable. Provides abrasion protection, absolutely no fingerprints, and of course great looks! 

1. Remove Shroud & Air Cylinder 

2. Measure and cut Carbon Fiber wrapping to size 

3. Roll it on simultaneously using slight heat with heat gun

4. Use a razor edge to trim off excess



Lots of YouTube videos on how to Carbon Fiber wrap things.

Very nice! I'm hoping to add the Wildcat MK2 to my inventory very soon!

But it's a toss up between the gun or the Omega Turbo Compressor?

That’s a tough call but I’d go compressor if you don’t have easy access to air.

Joe - nice guns!

How do you like the trigger?



The trigger on mine is amazing. Light, crisp, and butter smooth. Best of ANY gun I have shot so far. Wish the Impact had the same trigger.

Joe, does the Tanto not clear the air cylinder without the shroud extender piece? I'm thinking of adding a moderator to my Wildcat .25 in walnut as well, but I'd like to keep the package as short as possible. I initially thought as long as the Tanto is M20 threaded, the shroud extension wouldn't be needed.

That’s a great idea! It still would be a inch or two beyond the air cylinder cap, but an inch or two shorter than my set up. There are 1/2 inch UNF adapters for Wildcat shrouds with no extension that would work similarly.

My (4x) extra magazines and mag holder arrived today, and got them installed! Snapped a couple of pics with the Accu-Tac SR-5QD Bipod on. This rig is so ready!!

The Tanto and KOI will fit without extension to clear the shroud, it's a matter of it will fit without interference with the fill port dust cover.

The Wildcat I had, the barrel/shroud had enough droop in it that the suppressor would contact the dust cover if I didn't use the extension.

On other's Wildcats, there have not been this issue. So it depends on how well your Wildcat was manufacturered/built as to if you will need or want the extension.

Couldn’t leave out my other babies, because I love them all equally! They were just screaming for attention!



kids ...

Where did you get the magazines? I ordered some when I purchased my wildcat back in July, and I still don't have them.

 

[JoeKool]

I ordered the extra magazines from a ebay seller out of the UK (England) and they are anodized in black. FX Wildcat .25 cal magazines are normally silver aluminum... Must be the UK version. Oh well I like’m more! He even bundled two replacement o-rings for each magazine. Took about a week to arrive. Nobody (retailers) in the US has them right now.
