si brown 8,486 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 well I've got a day to myself and I was out rat bashing late last night.. so I've forfeited shooting day for maintenance day! the fx wildcat had dropped a fair bit of power over the year I've had it... from just under 12 to 10.3 and the fps spread was less than impressive so I took the stock off to have a look if there was any sh!t in the hammer area du to me not really looking after stuff I know how to set pcps up so what I found was obvious... there was NO locktight on the at and never has been, it was slack as f... i recon living in the car boot bouncing about and the spring tension are the culprit! so I gave it a clean an put it back together.. it won't happen again cos you can lock it off with the end cap then had a good test.. well impressed with its consistency! missed the sensor with the first shot so 7 instead of 8 585-584-584-588-582-588-583... av fps 584@ to much high+4 low-2 slackened it off a bit first 583.. not enough, backed it off a bit more 577-580-582-581-579-583-575...av fps 579@ 11.83 high+4 low -4 shots measured with the f1 ran my combro alongside the f1 and the results were drastically different.. think I need to throw it, ill buy an other one though cos there mega handy and from what I can gather generally good apart from this one atb si 3 Quote Link to post
