Today my Disco. bolt started to flip up. It didn't affect how it shot it just was a little annoying. Is there a simple way to fix this?

The rubber band mod, bolt to trigger guard. A new o ring on the bolt might help, some have put on after market bolts , do a search here we have discussed it several times

Have a lot of suggestions on file..can search and find several.
I take it that it didn't do it before, and is doing it now....so that kind of rules out some of the more drastic solutions. Generally a new bolt probe o-ring and checking that the barrel is all the way seated into the breech will do the trick.
On guns that just twitch a little bit (and a lot of them do) try chambering the pellet, and with the bolt down, tug back on the bolt. Normwal foprward motion puts any slack in the bolt system to the front...firing it pushed the bolt to the rear. IF you feel it move a little bit, then every time you fire the bolt handle gets a running start at the locking lug, which often makes it twitch (and it has no place to go but "up").

My .22 Disco bolt doesn't do that but my .177 gun does... I just stuck a rubber band on it and it works just fine :) The rubber band might look a little funny but the squirrels and rabbits don't mind a bit :)

The Crosman TV add. The Kid's Disco Bolt Flips up after fireing on TV add. I taped The Bolt handle forward alittle so it Scrapes and Holds down but the Elastic band Trick Work's too Good Luck S.S......Franky

Seems like a slightly oversized oring on the bolt would keep it place
