si brown 8,486 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 well after two false starts and an it'll bee hmmm!!! possibly ages before we get them back in ive given up on the fac wildcat mk2 and got myself a .25fac impact! ive liked these since I first clapped eyes on one years ago but thought its far to expensive for a sub 12 but now I can have what I want I thought feck it im having one so the first thing I did was strip it down to check that it had the full x-twist barrel in as I want to be able to use all the makes of pellets and not just jsb's... gave the barrel a good clean too.. it was full of sh1te so im glad I did!! the rifle is not classed as silenced because the shroud is empty so the yanks can own them... sorted that and its as quiet as any normal silenced pcp! the x-twist liner is just pushed into place in the blued lining and the threaded section is screwed in by hand and nipped up lightly with a 10mm spanner, the shroud is slid down the barrel and threads on the end nice and easily then the mod is just twisted on!! now to test alls well.... typically the mag was to tight and would not index so a quick tweak with a 2mm alan and alls good. 9 1 Quote Link to post
si brown 8,486 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 fitted the crombo to the end and gave it the acid test... bang on the money!! the book says 47ftlb think this is as near as it gets out of the box no tweaking needed. now to get out an see weather she likes the h&n's cos this pellet was good with higher powered .177's the screwfix catalog failed the test... straight trough 900 pages and quite possibly the board behind cheers si 2 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Very , Very nice Si I think you will love this gun . Try AA fields 25.4 gr I know people say they are the same as jsb but I can tell you they are different by looks and most important group better as well . With JSB at 100 yards I had a group about 27 mm but with AA fields 24 mm Phil told me about these and Phil is spot on with his recommendations We need a FAC FX impact page now on this forum with the amount of us who have them . I am expecting my FAC FX crown .22 and my X barrel for the impact next week 2 1 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Mate, you've been ripped off ......... They've only sold you half a rifle - where's the wood bit? That does look like it means business And, from what I read on some of the yank sites, they reckon 900fps is pretty much the magic number for an airgun pellet. Enjoy it mate 3 Quote Link to post

I still like the idea of a wildcat but id only ever get a synthetic as there mint for roughing it. Quote Link to post
