The P8 is about as strip-able as any mod you will ever find.

 

If you clean it regularly then it is fine, if you leave it you will find the parts become"welded" together and any thoughts of cleaning it will be gone!

You could use the same mod for both but you would need a .25 baffle stack, this would help with the .17 but you would be better with a .17 baffle stack for the .17. Probably need a different bush as well.

 

This will give you an idea!

PS..unless you want to make things really complicated stick to the same thread on each gun as well........maybe best with 2 separate mods to be honest!

That will upset all the wildcat owners who go on about stripping and cleaning as the best bit about them !

I have a Predator 8 on my .270, and if mine's anything to go by DON'T 'leave it alone', mines full of grey sand like gunge

after about 50 shots, it's easy to strip, but a word of advice, I smear the various threads on mine with moly grease, but always

the barrel thread, the Mod gets very hot as does the barrel, and moly grease is high temp resistant.

I had to help my mate get his T8 of a BRNO .243, it was not greased and was almost glued to the barrel, I was worried we would damage or

strip the thread, it came off eventually but the moly grease works just fine on it now, you can spin it off with one hand after you break

the initial grip.

Wildcat mod is very eay to clean, as all modrator. screw apart, soak in white spirit for day, & wash clean, no scrub, no hard work. I put copper greese on thread & put back to gether. simples.Work perfik.

I just take my SAK apart and leave in a bucket of hot water and fairy liquid for a few minutes and then give it a scrub with a bottle brush and toothe brush, it dosen't shift the stuck on residue on there, but it gets rid of everything else and then let it thoroughly dry before you reassemble it.
