I like buying from a company that is affiliated with airguns. I try to support our community. And when it comes to pellets, you can't beat the Pryamyd free tin of pellets offer.And they know how to to pack a rifle and/or pellets!!!! Amazon, not so!!!! Support you airgun community
More often than not, Amazon makes the shipping company's look like fools. They pack horrible, and most of the time the customer looks at the UPS guy and gets mad at him/her. People have a distorted view the transit process. Same is true for most of those bookcases/dressers than come in a nice thin heavy box. "Gee, that looks beat up". Well, that's because it's supposed to come to the store on a pallet and put on a shelf where you buy it. It was not designed to go down conveyor belts and slide around the back of a truck for 7 hours. /end rant/Op, I hope it turns out ok and I was not labeling you as "one of those."
Somewhere I have picture of my last Amazon pellet order. I had 5-6 tins shipped loose in a plastic pouch. It wasn't even the kind with bubble wrap! Basically just a plastic bag... Good thing it was a bunch of Crosman pellets. Those things are hard and can take a beating.

Amazon's gun/pellet shipper could benefit from some packing 101 pointers from their Account Manager!
Thanks for the support and ideas. The second Disco arrived today DOUBLE boxed and in great shape. Now I'm trying to fill it with my Hill pump but the air keeps leaking from (I think)'the female quick disconnect. I've tightened everything but no luck. I am NOT even remotely handy so it could be operator error. Anyone - anything I might be overlooking or doing wrong? I followed Pyramyd Air's recommendation for the correct disconnect and tightened up everything. No idea what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!!Never mind - dummy here didn't have the bolt all the way open! Thanks anyway! It's OK now!

Thanks anyway! It's OK now!The quick connect should have an o-ring seal on the nut and not require teflon tape when connecting it to the end of the hose. If it's tight, you should be good there.If you hear hissing at the quick connect area you probably just don't have it fully installed onto the foster fitting of the Disco. You just need to pull back on the connect ring and shove it all the way on to the foster fill connection of the Disco. It works like an air compressor quick connect. You gotta pull that ring back and shove it all the way on. The only other leaks I've had with mine were the air line relief screw. If that's not tight enough you'll start hearing it leak at like 1K psi.
Had one arrive from amazon with a crack in exactly the same spot yours broke. Mine was in a Crossman box.Crossman sent a new stock right out. My box was not that banged up, wonder if they had a run of bad stocks?
I fired mine without the TKO last weekend so my wife could see how loud it is without it.I think you will enjoy it a great deal with the TKO installed.
there are many like it but this one is mine! <---and a beautiful rifle it is.
