FX Wildcat MKIII Compact is a third generation of the successful Wildcat PCP air rifle from Swedish manufacturer FX Airguns. It offers an even more compact size and a heap of other improvements. The air flow and the plenum size have been improved. All metal parts have been made with the help of precision CNC engineering.
It comes outfitted with a 500 mm barrel. Its bullpup design allows it to still keep its compact size of 675 mm. You also have the option to quickly change the barrel. This will allow you to choose a type that works best with different kinds and weights of pellets. The barrel is shrouded and outfitted with the 1/2 UNF thread for an additional sound moderator.
The soft-touch synthetic stock is lightweight and really comfortable to handle. The ergonomically shaped pistol grip will fit your hands without any problems. The side lever has a smooth action and is located above the trigger for easy access.
The new rear power adjuster dial can be used to easily tune the hammer spring tension. It has 7 basic presets and the 8th position allows for more precise adjustments with an Allen key. This means the hammer can now work flawlessly with the pressure regulator.
The air cylinder is placed under the barrel and has a capacity of 230 cc. The maximum fill pressure is 230 bar. The pressure gauge can be found in the front part of the cylinder, right under the muzzle. Another gauge is located on the left side of the rifle and it shows the pressure in the regulator.
The magazine has also been improved. It can now hold up to eighteen .22 caliber (5,5 mm) pellets and is compatible with the FX Crown and FX Dreamline. The trigger is fully adjustable and this model is also outfitted with a manual safety. You can attach a scope to the 11 mm Dovetail rail.
