Hi Guys,

Online I came across this item, it's a 20 position powerwheel for the Wildcat/Maverick rifles.

I am wondering if the 'plateau' of each position has enough bearing surface to support the Hammer spring screw.

Does anyone here have any experience with this item?

Thanks!
I don't have to own the 20-position wheel to tell you that it will have all the same downsides as the original fx powerwheel. Phil's micrometer is the only upgrade to the fx power wheel worth doing -- and it does it right. I was concerned about the micrometer's thimbal accidentally moving, but with normal handling it has never moved unintentionally. There is a fairly snug o-ring inside of the micrometer to keep it from free-spinning. If it's not enough resistance for you, then you can add a 2nd o-ring. I've had no need to change anything about Phil's micrometer mod.

It's really amazing, the nano changes you can do with it can speed up the tune significantly.

Here is my pride, maintained and extremely well run. Alpha Precision's barrel+synchronized quick tuning system = oh my god.
It is capable of results:

If you polish the end of the screw, yes. Maybe someone has one but there is something strange looking about that, almost like it's plastic. I was right, it is plastic/printed. Blew up the image and got a good look at it.
 
I don't use the PW much myself . For me , there's only one correct tune and anything else throws my SDs and ES off . Not a big deal for closer shots but I like to shoot where the best tune is .
Actually agree. The Maverick platform doesn’t tune down very far from its optimal spot before ES and SD get pretty bad. The original set up on the Mav is so easy to tune. I think this stuff is unnecessary in all reality. Just an opinion though.

The easy tune just works better. It’s a micrometer that gives more adjustments than the original equipment. He even provides starting settings for each caliber, projectile weight and for each barrel length( a full table is on his website).
I urge you to visit his website, Shooting with Phil.

Don’t doubt it’s better or more convenient. To me just not necessary and a 100 some dollars i could spend on ammo
