Wildcat regulator gauge?

[Redick]

I'm thinking of adding a regulator gauge to my mk2 Wildcat and was looking for some clarification before I screwed up! Would it be as simple as drilling out a hole for the gauge and screwing it into the bleed hole? For those who have fabricated the stock what did you use and how big of a circumference? Also what a good size gauge to use I'm guessing 1/8bsp would be the thread pitch?

Depends where you intend on drilling/screwing...short answer from me is, if you don't know how to arrive to the answer yourself then its probably best left to a professional to add this gauge for you. Just my 2c on that matter.

There's a bleed screw in back of the stock where a gauge can be placed just like on the mk3

Excellent! Now a little information on that gauge size is that a 23mm gauge? Did you fabricate the stock of the WC?

i owned a gun that had this mod done. fellow put in a huma. worked great. get your gauge 1st and make the mod to the stock with a dremel and small drum bit. make the opening a bit larger than the diameter of the gauge face. the stock sands very easily. probably 10 minutes of work.

Also, I had to use a thicker delrin washer under the gauge, to get it to seal. Or 2 of the standard size.
