Bobcat MK2 power adjuster...

[kmd1984]

I am obsessed with the idea of having as many power settings as possible on an air rifle. So the two settings (high and low) my Bobcat MK2 .25 has, are not enough. That being said, shouldn't I be able to just use the one from the .22 with three power settings? It looks like the exact same part, and it should be, so why not change it out!?

Thanks,

I guess nobody knows... : )

I think that the port holes on the .22 are different sizes to the ones in your power wheel...

Hmm. Never thought about that. You are provably right though. Which brings me to my next question: How does the power adjuster look like!? Is it a just a cylinder with different size ports/holes in it!? If so, nothing easier than to have someone add another port/hole.

Thanks,

Theoretically one could do that, I remember reading that someone opened up the holes on a .22 as he wanted to dump more air into the breech, I think on the yellow forum, but I could be mistaken as I read way too much and bookmark way to little!

I also remember reading that the port holes for the .25 are bigger already, and that because of this it was difficult to drill the third port, do you want less or more power than standard as theoretically you could do a small port, but I am by no means qualified to advise on that...

Good info. Thanks for the input.

I can see that it would be hard to do more power, but that's ok, since I am going for less. The FX Indy .25 comes with three power setting, and from what I can tell, the power wheel is the same. At least it looks the same. But that is in regards to the outside only, not the inside. Never seen one taken apart, or out of the gun.

Anyhow, I just realized a bigger problem. Even if I could simply order an Indy power wheel and replace it with the one on the Bobcat, or choose to add another hole to the existing one, either way, I probably void my warranty. I am not willing to do that. : )

Thanks.

My Bobcat MK1 .25 has three settings on wheel. Order the original wheel.

You are correct, the original one has three settings. The only question is, are the ports the "same" on the Mk1 and Mk2?! Anyhow. I spoke to someone at AoA, and he said that the Mk2 is regulated, and that is the reason why you can only use a power wheel with two settings... Something like that,

Thanks.
