Tuning Wildcat MK3 regulator gauge replacement?

[GA_LeadHead]

The little rear regulator gauge on my new Wildcat MK3 BT is terrible. Hard to read and it's anybody's guess as to what pressure your are setting it to.

Can it be replaced with say a 'regular', for example, Wika 28mm gauge? Or what about the new smaller 25mm Sekhmet gauge?



Thanks for any suggestions.

I replaced mine with a digital gauge. Just had to dremil out the stock a tiny bit. Just go slow and easy.

I replaced mine with a 28mm gauge. No Dremel needed.

I put an AirMarksman 28 mm on my Maverick Sniper and it works great and is accurate. Just got a Maverick 25 Compact and all the local shop had was the Sekhmet 28 mm. Didn’t really want to spend that much but I like to support the local store so I bought it.
Thus far not impressed.
Installed it and filled the gun. Gauge read O BAR. Check the bottle gauge and there is 240 BAR in it. Dry fire 3 times to make sure I have air past the 2nd reg. Still showing 0. Scroll through the menu and the screen goes black. Get on line and find the manual as none is provided with the gauge.
Try to charge it & after an hour nothing, no charging icon just the black screen. Try shorting between the two reset buttons and nothing.
Decide I need to call Sekhmet. Phone # doesn’t work. Try to email them and it comes back as undeliverable. Call the seller and they say bring it in and we will reset it. I am waiting to see what they can do.
If you are considering a Sekhmet for all the cool things it does, you need to understand that it is primarily designed as a bottle gauge. Set it up downstream of a regulator and it will only deliver the “simple“ mode operation which means it will provide a pressure reading and that is all.
That is a lot of money for a straight pressure gauge.

What brand? My stock gauge is hard to read as well.

I purchased the Wika 28mm gauge, specifically the “Wika Mini Pressure Gauge 28mm 250 Bar BSPP 1/8" BLK”

And it fits your wildcat MK3 with no modifications? I see Utah Airgun’s has them in stock I just wanted to be sure before I order it.

Yup. It screwed in just fine.
