Old style Wildact moderator

[Sirius1963]

Looking for some cles/help. Ive an older Wildcat moderator, that can only be taken apart with a bespoke 3 pronged tool - and can i find one - not so far! Been in touch with the maker, and they dont have any. So if anyone has one or knows where I can get one it would be much appreciated. Its a .223 moderator, as i guess they also made bigger one

Thanks

Find a small engineering works if you really struggle

Some photographs would help.

A picture of said tool would be helpful.

Here's a couple of pics - much appreciate it if anyone has a tool/knows where I can get one

A couple of adjustable pin wrenches should work. You just need to match them to the hole size on moderator.

If it aint broke then don't open it though.

likely only cover two holes but you can get a tool for taking the back off a wristwatch which has different fittings and adjustable to different diameters, may work and not very expensive to buy.

Ive tried the wristwatch tool - sadly ineffective. its not broke, but clean is good

I have one but a long way away.... I didn't know the make of the mod for my 223/556



mine came with the rifle from Mark Bradley,,, I will take a photo later for Cyres to see. do not think it would be too hard for someone to make one

Just need the pcd of the holes and the diameter of the holes.
Failing that put something in the hols that is a good fit and add a drop of paint.
Place a small piece of plate steel on it 4mm or thicker on the paint. Dot punch and drill to add bolts that will fit the holes. Check for fit and weld a handle on it. Might need two.

Possible alternative is a tool for undoing watch backs
Can be adjusted to size and has various size pins
Oh got hers online

Are you sure that's a Wildcat, not a Third Eye Tactical?

 

[Cyres]

Could you not make a tool using a flat bicycle spanner drilling holes tap and bolt of appropriate dia.
What about a big circlip removal tool or a tool you get with an angle grinder.

looking on spud's page for the third eye, the tool looks identical to mine and it mentions an integral muzzle brake that mine also has.... does that sound like yours Sirius?

 

[243ack]

Yes it does, and if so, I think I've got 'several' of those tools kicking about, if of any use?. Word of caution though: if it is a TET, it won't come apart!!.

Thanks guys - tbh, I dont know the make, somewhere in the recess of my mind it said Wildcat, but there are no markings, and so could be Third Eye. Ill DM you
