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

[JoeKool]

Hello GTA 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, 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! 😀.

Yes, I installed the Huma Regulator.
No, the JSB King Heavy 33.95gr I use in my Fx Crown because I can dial the power up and shoot them at higher power (830fps and 55fpe).  This Wildcat is gonna shoot JSB King 25.39gr @ 930 for its foreseeable future.  Thats all I’m gonna feed it. Those and the Air Arms Diabolo Field 25.4 grain.  She’s staying where she’s tuned at.

I like the fact that you put the Tatsu on there, instead of the Sumo.  I've been wondering why more people haven't added that one to the shrouded guns.  I think it looks better, and doesn't add too much to the length   I bet it is pretty effective too!

Thank you!  Exactly my thoughts.  Its trippy how quiet it is pushing almost 50 foot pounds of energy.  Silent but deadly👌🏽!!

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!!

When I blew up the pic, I almost missed the holder in the stock. Kool Joe Kool!

That’s right Mr. Knife hidden feature!(It holds 3 mags)  I ordered the extra magazines out of the UK and they are anodized in black Wildcat .25 cal magazines are normally silver aluminum...  Oh well I like’m more!

Thanks 👍🏽!

Couldn’t leave out my other babies, because I love them all equally!

And this one was screaming for attention!

Really nice looking gun. Great job.

Not that it is needed but one more mod you can do is to replace the material inside the Donny supressor with 1inch high density foam. I did that for my Taipan veteran and really love the new “tone” it has now.

Quick question, where did you get the carbon fiber wrap? Is it easy to do? Love that and maybe will add it to my TX and Taipan.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip I’ve seen a Earnest Rowe Youtube video on the high density foam change in a DONNYFL.


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 razor edge to trim off excess carefully

 

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

Good luck!

Thanks!

Definitely will look into it
