Title: De-Tuning FX Wildcat from 30 ft lbs to 15
Post by: dunk50 on August 17, 2019, 11:14:07 PM

Could someone point me towards and FX expert / forum. My first FX is a .22 Wildcat MK2. Shooting near 30 ft lbs. Don't need that and was wondering if it's possible to lower it with the hammer spring only or will I have to get into the regulator. I envy the UK for shot count as much as some there envy us for FAC rifles. I'm thinking 15 to 18 ft lbs would be plenty for me and the shot count would go up. As hard as the FX regulator is to work on, needing a reg tester, I would just switch it out for a HUMA if that's the way I have to go. Thanks in advance for any help.

You should be able to do it. I've found that 1/6th of a turn, or one flat of the nut on the reg is AROUND 10-20 bar. Not scientific by any means. But, if you drop it that much, and remove the hammer weight that's in our fac versions, get the non fac spring from fx usa, it should get you to where you want to be. It's just a matter of matching the hammer strike to your reg setting.

At least that's where I would start.
