Hi Guys,
As the title, I’m looking for a retailer that has stock of O ring sets for my Predator 12.
Wildcat no longer sell to retail customers sadly. They advised me to check with retailers. No one seems to advertise stock. I’d like 2 sets one for today and a spare.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be just great.

Thanks

@trickie this any good?


Otherwise I can measure the sizes needed from my predator.
Thanks, your a star, I order a set now. Thanks very much for your offer to measure your rings for me.
I hadn’t thought of that, but will when my new set arrives👍

Regards

And another

Thank you, I appreciate your help 👌
 
I generally keep the O-ring kits and spare bushes snd have all the tooling to service and fit the mods and change the thread inserts etc. if you get stuck give me a shout

I suggest you measure them before using. Also use silicon high vacuum grease to lubricate them prior to fitting
I ordered the O rings for my Wildcats from Hydraulic systems supermarket in Gloucester.
It's a mix of metric and imperial rings and for the price you paid I got the equivalent of 8 full sets!

Thanks,
I’ve using silicon grease on my O rings. I’ve never come across high vacuum grease, I’ll have a look at it👍🏻
Could you share your measurements please? In sure many more members than me would appreciate and benefit from your experience?

Thanks👍🏻🤩

Can I ask why you took it apart?
 
Yes of course, it needed cleaning, it’s was using the same O rings for almost 4 years and over 500 rounds through it

I wouldn't bother. My old mod was 15yr old, probably 4000+ shots through it and never cleaned once. Was still going strong when I traded the rifle in.
 
All my wildcats get dismantled and in the ultra sonic bath at least yearly. .204 more often.
All O rings off good clean relubricate and reassembled.

guy,

Thanks for your responses.
For myself I prefer to clean all off my kit on a regular basis, allowing me ti inspect and confirm condition of inspected items.

I’m also happy for you to have a different regime 👍🏻
