Need help fast

[sbb888]

Just received my new wildcat mk3 and have no way to fill it. I am in the Denver area. I have a tank to fill my cricket but didn't realize the fx probe would not fit my quick connect. I need the adapter to go on the fx probe that will work with the quick connect. I was really looking forward to shooting it this weekend. I've tried a few paintball shops but no help. I am going to try a Hydraulic fitting shop tonight but doesn't look promising. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks , Bob

I believe you'll need to purchase this quick connect. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered one from Joe but won't be here until next week. I was really hoping to shoot this weekend

Hydraulic shop should be able to help. It's just a coupler plug. Depending on what they stock. Make sure it's rated for the high pressure. If it's not it will probably be ok temporarily. Too soft brass and the detent balls in the coupler will start to dent the plug. Stainless should be ok.

I live down in Monument. I have an FX impact. I dont know if that fill adaptor will work on a wildcat. If it fits, you are welcome to come down for a fill.

Thanks, they said they had stainless that were high pressure. Just not sure if they had the right threads

Just unscrew the female foster quick disconnect from your hose and screw it right into the hose.

 

[sbb888]

OK, I didn't even look at that but I will do so when I get home 

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it

Well Yo , I looked at the fitting when I got home and it would not work. My probe was also male end. I found a hydraulic place that had a fitting that went from my probe to the hose. He went and took the foster fitting off to make sure the threads were correct. When he brought back my hose I almost cried. He must have stuck it in a vise and completely effed up the hose end to where you could barley get a wrench on it. Needless to say I was pissed. When he went to charge my credit card I picked up the foster fitting that he removed and it was oblonged. I said a few choice words about their workmanship and told him how much that hose and fittings cost, he said he was sorry and did not charge me for the fitting he supplied to me. I cant believe how some people stay in business

That's just part of the air-gunning sport. You'll never have all the parts you need to shoot a new gun this weekend

 

[Yo]

Hope you are able to at least fill that new gun!

 

[sbb888]

By golly I sure did. Can't wait to start shooting
