Low power fx wildcat

[airbourne 128]

Can anybody recomend anybody who can tune my fx wildcat  mk2 I brought it in February I could send it back but I want it done right, I Cronograph it today and it is a bit low on power, Bisley magnums average 10.06 flb = 653.8 fps 10.65gr. Jsb 10.79 flb = 761fps 8.44gr cheers. Staffordshire area

Pretty sure your problem will be the brass locking plate at the rear of the action!

behind that plate is the hammer adjuster and if the blanking plate/ anti tamper is not butted up tight to it it will back out and lose power/ spring tension...

take gun out of the action remove plate.. it’s easy, turn the hammer adjust clockwise till the power returns to just below 12ftlb then tighten the plate back up till it locks against the adjuster and the power will stay true!

 

this is an adjuster that someone has made but you will get the principal of what I’m getting at

Haha... not that si  

that back plate is only a few mm thick and all the ones I’ve sorted came out without having to resort to the blow torch, big board screwdriver and a couple of taps should free it It’ll be a little bit of thread-lock... if you don’t fancy doing it wait till the shops are back open but I wouldn’t bother with a tune on a mk2

All sorted bisley magnums 10.65gr = 11.3  flb. Jsb exact 8.44gr = 11.8 flb  Qys 9.56gr = 11.5 flb really pleased with the Qys pellets smooth loading group really well and very clean, skirts are smooth with no rough edges

They work well in my ultra Mitch , tried them the other day when it was windy as the express were getting blown off corse but even though these stack at 40yard there was no difference in wind drift  between the two!
