Chuck, you know what this means, right? The EDgun EDMU will also fit if the WIKA will fit...

Chuck. Slow down! It's your damned fault i bought this .177 Wildcat and am tearing it to pieces sourcing for that elusive imagined goal. I've got Huma regs, tester, Wiki gauges and o-ring by the bag in a heap waiting for a full uninterrupted afternoon. My intentions are to add the Huma reg, cut the stock and add the guage like Monkeyshine, change out the cylinder gauge, polish the barrel and air delivery system to the max, also do a port and polish on the air system for delivery and maybe re-barrel with an aftermarket barrel. Just because I can. So far all I have accomplished it to take a perfectly accurate gun and get it all messed up. Only for lack of time. Was also wanting to machine a external adjuster for the hammer and cut the stock for easy access. I've got to much to do and you keep coming up with other stuff. Go shoot one of your other guns for a while. Oh, by the way. The rotary phone just shows experience and wisdom. I've got one on my wall. A reminder from my office in the 70's. Sylvan

I really like that EDMU. I think I'd like to replace my stock Wildcat .25 with it. Is there any instructional video on how to remove the existing gauge and replace? Would o-rings have to be replaced at same time. I'm not experienced at all in taking apart my air rifles.

I had to machine the inside lip on my Bobcat dustcover for it to slide in all the way. Only 1.5mm, so it would have been ok. But if you’re going to do something, might as well do it right.

Thanks for this information! It seems very straight forward!
Will I need to replace that delrin plastic washer?

Just want to point out that in the description to a person "not experienced at all in taking apart my air rifles" , you didn't include the requirement to first bleed off the air reservoir.

I also looked at some of the videos showing taking the WC apart. I see that EdgunWest is out of stock with the EDMU for now. I also just watched the 27 min video by "Ed" about the EDMU.
When I owned the Airwolf MCT one of my favorite things was the digital gauge showing shot count, pressure, etc.
Thanks

Nice work CHUCK!
Yeah no reason the EDMU wouldn't fit in the place that you made for the WIKA, Ed made the brass portion to be the exact size of the WIKA, the nice thing about the EDMU is you can clock the display after its set where it needs to be.
But keep in mind it needs to use 1.5 bar as a shot to register as a shot. So on a .22 or .25 on mid power more likely with a bottle it probably wouldn't record the stats. Cylinder airtank guns might not have this happen. (bigger percentage of tank/shot)

Just wanted to tell you someone already put an EDMU gauge in their wildcat like two months ago. You are all late to the party.....

I read somewhere about a month ago that the rule on these tubes is 5/3 pressure. That means they are tested to 385 bar or around 5500 psi. I'm comfortable putting 250 bar (3625 psi) in the gun rated 230 (3335 psi). In fact, the Wildcat is rated 230 and a couple of the other guns with virtually the same tube are rated at 250. I think the difference is the reg being able to handle the pressure or not.
But safety first.

So what are you disagreeing with? I said they test them to well above what we put in them and the difference in guns being able to function with the higher pressure would be the difference in the reg being able to handle it. That is what YOU just said. The only difference is I said 5/3 and you said 9000 psi.
You said: Furthermore, they don’t just test their air tanks on these guns to stand up to 4500 psi (310 Bar) but in fact test them to 9000 psi (620 Bar)
I said: That means they are tested to 385 bar or around 5500 psi.
So the "common sense" and "it stand to reason" means I just used a lesser number than you so I am not using common sense? My point was agreeing that the tanks are tested to more than we can put it, so they should be safe. That is pretty common sense to me.
