Will the Wildcat Mk3 be offered in walnut, the traditional laminate, or any of the laminate colors? I would kill for one one with the blue laminate stock!!

Hi Steved192,

Thanks - I appreciate the response! Y’all might want to consider sharing the colored laminates with the Wildcat. They are gorgeous on the Crown and would be awesome on the Wildcat. I can’t shake a vision of a Wildcat in blue laminate!

Why do you appreciate the response ???? Nobody gave a reply to your question !!!!
they consider you that stupid that they tell you that you things you and all,of us already know as a reply !!!!
a digital help desk could’t do worse ....

What does that mean? Right now we are producing only synthetic stocks. He asked if it will be offered in other stocks. As of right now no.... We are only producing synthetic stocks. Would you to phrase the question in a different way? Or maybe our answer? Because as of right now we are only producing synthetic stocks.

I hope you are prepared to accept some positively meant advice . You could have answered: “ We at FX do not yet know if we will do a walnut or laminate stock in the future but if demand will come upmwe might consider this . Thanks for your input”. Or. “ we had Walnut and laminate in our previous version of the Wildcat so I inderstand your question but we have decided that these alternative stock materials were not in large enough demand to coninue “ Or “ For sure we will follow up after the initial release with different stock materials in due time “ Or ...... anything better than just telling the guy what you currently supply as this is what he already knows ! He is asking for information that is not available yet . Not for what is known by all . Do you get this ? I don’t want to bash you but want to help,you to get a better supporter of the brand and this forum by my comments . I am a fan of your product and even shoot with it but I am sure in your communication there is something to improve and I hope ai can contribute to that .

All, to be honest, I was a little disappointed in the response I got from FX USA. Yalel was right, they didn’t really tell me anything I didn’t already know. Any info on future plans for stock options would have been nice. I want to buy a WC mk3 and I’m going to be disappointed if right after I receive it in synthetic they come out with other options. I was just being polite and thanking them for at least taking the time to respond to my question.
For those that might be curious....I started another thread in PCPs about physical differences between Mk2 and Mk3 stocks. JoeKool confirmed the three mods I understood to have occurred were accurate. I don’t know of any woodworker that currently has a “pattern“ for the Mk3 stock....and if you give them yours to use as a template, it can be marred, dinged and damaged. However, there are folks that already have the pattern for Mk2 stocks and they may be able to make one in a laminate or wood of your choice. And then the mods to make it into a Mk3 are minimal....got a vision of the Wildcat in blue laminate!!

At FX USA we try and give you guys all the information we have available. We too want to avoid people purchasing then another similar item being released the next day so you’ll see us give PSA’s via social media and here on the forum to try and give you guys the ability to not receive any kind of “buyers remorse” as of right now for the Wildcat Mk 3 the synthetic stock is what’s being produced and that’s the only answer available at the moment and what you’ll see with dealers in the near future. I hope that helps clarify any confusion.

Thank you FX USA for your response. Can you call Minelli, put in a good word for me and see if they will run some blue lam through their Wildcat Mk2 machine? Lol.

You guys need to back off on FXUSA.
You asked if they offered the Wildcat MK3 in Walnut, or colored laminates.
They said that they didn’t and only offered in Synthetic. How much more clear could they be? Your question was answered accurately.
There’s just no need for mean spirited responses and good for FXUSA for standing up and giving it right back.

Drumsnguns - I started this thread and I don’t think I’ve said anything disrespectful. But as Yalel has pointed out, I did not ask what stock the Mk3 is CURRENTLY offered in. I know that as does everyone else. They key word in my OP is “Will”, as in FUTURE tense. And for that question, no info was provided. And if FX USA does not want to answer that question because of financial, business and Customer Relations concerns, then they need not reply to me. Alternatively, they could have also said “Yes, but we’re unsure when” or “there is not enough customer demand for walnut and laminates to justify the expense to get them produced” or even “no, we’ve determined that synthetic stocks are the way to go for the Wildcat platform and don’t see alternative materials being offered anytime soon”.
Regardless, I think we’ve beaten this issue to death and I don’t want to see key members of this site get crossways over this so let’s please just let this thread die.
Thanks,

At least FX-USA did take the time to respond. I've noticed a lot of other suppliers did not even have the decency to reply. With all the complaints recently posted about Pyramid/AGD you would think they would post some type of reply. Just my own opinion...

Dear mr or mrs at FX Airguns USA,
if you are serious about your statement above I ask you to comment on the following :
one member on this forum ( Wimpanzee) has returned his Wildcat .25 MKIII sniper to you as he did not manage to have the advertised power output from it. FXUSA did state that there is a plenum missing in his rifle and has send his rifle back free of charge with a Ernest Rowe power plenum installed. Just as a free service/ update to make up for the missing power. Now my question is if not only Wimpanzee has the honor to receive such guarantee / service but all people who bought a WC MKIII thus far , wanting this update . Also it would be good to know if future deliveries of your Wildcat MK3 will be including this power plenum in order to reach the advertised power. Please let us know on this forum as I believe these are not unfair questions but just polite requests for information that your customers are looking for.
very best regards
Yalel
