FX Wildcat Air Leak....

[nelo64]

To answer your question Dartagnon, the air breather hole cam from the factory very rough. I used a jewelers rat tail file to smooth it out as best I could. Not sure if AoA gave it a once-over when they had it in for service?

=D

Gol, you might be better off starting a new thread? Some people will skip over certain threads esp. ones they've read before.
If leaking out the barrel it is the main firing valve, have you tried filling with it cocked?

That's what I was going to say because back when I got a brand new Benjamin Discovery the first time I tried to fill it the air kept leaking out of the barrel but then I cocked it and filled it and problem solved. I just recently traded my Vulcan.25 for a Wildcat.25 and so far this gun is a beast. Hopefully all you Wildcat owners are enjoying your guns and you others have got your issues sorted out.

thanks guys..but i still have a problem with it even i chocked it..maybe there's a problem with the valve pin..oring maybe..or maybe im using a hand pump and the pressure is too low and not strong enough..do i have to use a high pressure like scuba tank..?

Hey TKA87

I have a WC in .22 and love it but am looking at .25's. I was considering the WC and Vulcan - any problems with the Vulcan that made you move to the FX? How well do they compare, from someone who's actually owned both?
