Winchester Wildcat

[NWF007]

Auto bolt hold open with Winchester mag, cleaning hole in rear and tear down is a bit easier (maybe). Other than that, it's just something different.

Mine was like that ..
Give it a good clean/lube .

Super fast cleaning on the winchester due to the quick release and easy access rodding the barrel.

I'm not gonna spend precision scopes or beyond the wildcats present class. Its just a to go rifle for me.
My 2 cents is if Winchester comes out a similar design with the wildcat using aluminum and steel parts, 100% I'll buy one. The innovation of the wildcat is like advanced or next level upgrade of the 10/22's.

Will a Wildcat mag work in a 10/22?

I was looking for a some wildcat proprietary extended magazines to try it out on a 10/22 and there are none besides the stock 10 rounds magazine that I still haven't tried firing in the Ruger yet.
But in case someone is interested to know that any original Ruger 10/22 magazines will fire in the wildcat. That goes with the Ruger aftermarket magazines including the failures have more chance firing consistently with the wildcat. The physical outer difference between the two are the Ruger magazine slips on 2 corners which is the front and back while the wildcat sits on 4.

Still haven't tried to yet.
I just went to the range this morning about 2-1/2 hours. The Wildcat is doing miraculously. It was tearing up the bullseye at 22 yards with the original iron "plastic" sights. Prior to this, I took my time setting it up the right way and once got the bullseye, I flooded it with blue loctite. I also notice this small rifle or any of my firearms, When clean and lube it really good with this leaving a "thick film" almost like a soft silicone grease, as long as fire that gun is no more than a week after dressing, It will perform almost flawlessly. I probably spent a good 650 rounds sharing with 2 pistols. All hardly even stove pipe.
Last 2 weeks ago, fired the same Taurus TX-22 and Walther PPQ (without the wildcat), I couldn't even pass the 2nd magazine. Soo stopped it right away. They were cleaned and dressed over 2 months before I took it to the range.

Kinda sounds like you ignored the very sound advice that many knowledgeable members gave in your earlier thread about lube. Again, using a dry lube CLP you shouldn't have any of these issues irregardless of how long it's stored (within reason, not talking about centuries here just normal mid or long term storage). Ceramic is even better if you can afford it.

Use baby oil, lots and lots of baby oil……..

I'm gonna miss those guys at Threat Dynamics. They are very nice people and very easy and very direct too which is a good thing. They let me try the bullpup. That was an earth shaker and spitting ammos like a tec-longgun

Going 1 year now. I use this alot. There is too much gun for the money they are asking especially if you keep it all bone stock and with a bulletin update. I mean nothing to replace besides making sure the sights are properly set and seated with a blue loctite on threadings and adding a small rubber piece on the stock for cushioning. You can easily use a BX25 Ruger magazine on with no mods and it fires really consistent!
