As above most likely a venting hole BUT should be on all guns surely!?
i followed this video and fitted a reg to an Evanix Sniper, worked a treat

New .25 FX Wildcat, hole in air tube-WTF!?
- Thread starter mmoscarma
- Start date
Yep, it is the regulator vent. The o-ring is damaged or faulty. Definitely a bummer mmoscarma. But, it is quickly fixable by a trained hand.
*edit: After posting the way I thought the o-ring should be replaced, I did a little digging and found out that my way was not the best way. FX will be posting details re: the workings of the regulator vent very soon.

If the regulator is in the reservoir and the reservoir can be replaced with a different one or size then perhaps AoA can just send a new reservoir? Overnight? One day delivery?
You put his reservoir in there packaging and send it back? with their shipping label?
AoA is a stand-up delaler, I'm sure they would do that
Just my 2 cents - KZ

I'm contacting them right now. Johan from FX also contacted me with instructions should I want to fix it myself with new o-rings.
Both my father and myself and delt with AOA for years...no worries there. Good news is it looks pretty straight forward to not only change out the o-rings but replace the reg. as well.
Again, thank you all for the support...love this forum!

Oh no! P.Shooter, I feel for you. You have seemingly been laboring the wait harder than anyone else. It is my understanding that FX has their best man on this. They are sleeping in Sweden right now, but I expect something as soon as their work day starts. If nothing else, call the dealer you bought it from and let them know right away.

I'm hoping its a quick fix that I can do myself or send me parts and I can do it myself ,if not I'll send back and they can keep it ! I'm an old paintballer of 20 plus years so I know something about air guns but don't enjoy fixing a brand new gun that's been tested nor should I have too

Ted or anyone else that finds the fix please share it with me, Ted I know I can't count you .

Pshoooter,
It is an airgun. There are lots of airguns, with differences and similarities in both shape and internal design. Nothing revolutionary was promised about the Wildcat.
My suggestion to all shoooters, regardless of whether they are buying FX, Daystate, Weihrauch, Air Arms etc etc.....is to wait six months .....which is usually time enough to allow manufacturers time to do their usual fixes as notified by the "guinea pigs" (sorry everyone, but experience tells me this is what we are if we are among the first to buy) ......then decide whether to buy.

Well said cookie!
You can either be a early adopter or wait till the bugs are worked out. Very rarely can you be both.

I'm sorry Ted I wanted to say I CAN count on you. I don't know how to modify what I said earlier. I hope no hard feelings cause you the MAN!
