I spoke with Don a couple of days ago and he said he was having some problems with his website. So if you have any questions, or want to place an order it would be best to just call him.
-
Thanks for the heads up, I was going to put in an order this upcoming week.
-
Texted him yesterday for a custom length PROD stainless tube with no gauge hole ;D
Been bugging him for this for more than a year, lol!

That sounds very interesting. I haven't worked on any guns in quite a while, a Cothran Prod tube could possibly get me interested again.
-
AFAIK, he made a short one for a bottle PROD.
I want mine to be 20" for a rifle PROD with a 20" MROD LW barrel ;D
If there is another person, other than me, who would bug him he might go pronto, lol!
-
Texted him that I want 2 tubes: PROD and Disco specs; both in 20" lengths ;D
-
I need to think about the length, 20" sounds interesting.
-
It was the poster, 5Star, who said that Don seems to be having a problem with the current tube specs but that was months ago.
I managed to get a reply from Mr. Don yesterday, btw.
He said he was going to look into it ;D
-
No answer on my follow up ;D
To repeat, I have been wanting one for about 2 years now.
Mountain Airguns only does custom length Disco tubes.

I've purchased a few custom tubes from Don over the years, and the experience was just as you are describing. Persistence, patience, and the willingness to accept not getting what you want are required, lol....Don does awesome work and you will always receive what you pay for.
-
I love his parts and have a couple of them ;D
I got spoiled by the quality, so I'm coming back for more, lol!
-
Got a text from The Man yesterday ;D
He said he is on to it, but it may take weeks.
I can wait ;D
I am excited to build that rifle PROD with a MROD LW barrel and 20” custom tube.
Not satisfied with my PROD barrel performance.
Been spoiled by my Crosman LW barrels ;D
-
Got a text from Mr. Don today.
Sadly, he has to forego the PROD tube production 'cuz he needs at least 5 orders, and I am the only one who's looking for one :(
He said orders are slow lately, and I say it's a pity 'cuz he is one of the best airtesans.
I hope those interested would give him a text or call @ 901 356 0569 :D

The DC site was down yesterday, but it is now up and running again.
Got a call from the gent this morning, and he told me that he had to order some expensive parts for his machine, unfortunately.
Mr. Don may be retiring next year, but I did not dare ask him if he was also retiring from making AG parts :-X Yes, I was afraid to hear the answer :P
I did order small items from him today.
I was also told that he's probably going to do the custom length PROD tubes, so I'll take 2 if he does.
Now that retirement is in his horizon, I say get his topnotch parts while you can ;D
-
His website says he'll be back in Jan 2023. Bummer for me as I was planning on ordering a valve and one of his 2260 PCP tubes.

No, it says Jan. 2022 not 2023.
Must be another glitch, but it was OK this morning.
In fact, I was able to order 2 parts, and it's already in transit.
Send him a text.
If the parts are available he'll dispatch it right away.

I love USPS ;D
Oh, and his site is back in action.

I'm gonna have to call him!! I've been really wanting to do up a 3040 build for quite some time!!
-
DC says he will be reopening his site very soon 👍
Might finally get that custom length PROD tube ‘cuz he did mention the inclusion of Disco tubes ??? ;D
-
Good to hear!

Tempted to ask him if he can do a 20” 17xx as well ‘cuz I already have a 24” Fortitude tube for my 17xx ???
