Has anybody used these on their Disco? If so are they worth the money and how easy are they to install?

Nearly impossible to get, the supplier seems to have disappeared, last I heard.... I had one and found it worked well with some pellets shooting from the bench.... If the gun was in a muzzle high or low attitude or tilted sideways it would frequently jam and they were AWFUL to clear when that happened.... Some pellets would jam nearly all the time.... That was my experience, anyways....

I have one on my QB and it works just fine on it. I use RWS super points and it hangs up once in awhile, but its more me than the RIM.
I bought one for the disco , without any mags, figuring I had the QB mags which work with the disco mount. You had to modify the bolt , which you could buy one already mod to work when you purchased the RIM. with the modded bolt it worked just like the one on the QB. Once you get used to the manual indexing, it work just fine.
Like Bob said, the owner is MIA so finding one is hard. If you can find one at a good price, it might be worth you time.
I like the one on my QB, sold the disco so if you find any mags, I'll sell ya the mount and bolt.

I got mine and i love them, some pellets work better than others. some pellets jam when rifle is level while working well when rifle is pointed slightly upwards.
used them mostly when pesting at work. didnt want to be too noisy undoing a tin of pellets or didnt want pellets getting dirty sitting in my jacket pocket, nice to just rotate the mag
but yeah heard the same thing about owner being MIA
