add 2 inches of barrel and well that's 20-30 fps I bet... with the heavies like the Eun Jin 29gr and 32g...

I would rather see the BBTs at 900-950 fps but come on we are talking a $199 and some work... and only a 2400 psi fill... for a 14 shot string

so yep my name is next on the list for the .217 mold for sure, but I have to wait for my Beretta Barrel to be turned for the .25 Mrod breech to use them...

Just to see if I can make them work in a choked barrel... this would be a good backup plan... If they start selling 26" .22 pellet barrels I would want just to sleeve one for my Mrod then...

But for now It is a good way to get started with cast if you wanted I think even at 800-825 fps the BBT would perform very well...

Very nice rifle rifle, handled one today at shot show.
Nice and light and shouldered well.
I will post a photo tomorrow

. Does it have a psi gauge?

From the Crosman literature: The Maximus features an on-board pressure gauge for monitoring fill pressure and a single stage trigger. It will be available in Spring 2016 with an MSRP of $199.99 for both calibers.

I like the look of the stock, maybe they will offer it in wood later just like they did the new marauder. Also like the longer barrel, looks like it could be a shooter if the barrels are good. Would like to see what Tim Mac will do with these. Hope the trigger isn't total &^^& like the break barrels, but if the same as disco it can be worked with.

I wonder if it is as loud as the Disco. The barrel looks a little skinner too.

I would think it would be about the same. Not sure about the barrel though...

30 shots per fill? That's what they claimed for my 2014-made Disco, the one that only got 13 shots from 2100 psi before POI started dropping at 30 yards. A few coils clipped from the hammer spring brought it up to 20 shots per fill with only minimal velocity loss, but still.

I'm just glad they actually put iron sights on it. And with the dovetail a Williams peep is easy. Unless you have bad eyes you don't need a scope.

If they start selling the stock I'll be definitely be buying one for my Daughter's Disco

Mr_Sis · « **Reply #69 on:** January 20, 2016, 08:10:24 PM »

They will not interchange. The maximus has its own parts and stock design. From what I heard anyway.

2" of additional barrel length on a stock Disco will be only about 10 fps difference....

I was thinking about your 40 fpe Disco tune...

but I looked around wondering if it is wishful thinking; for less $ it probably just has a shorter tank...

found this post has its pic next to a disco pic and the tank does look to be shorter...

Bottom line is, no body knows anything until the spec sheet is out.

That is what I want to see.

NHGuide · « **Reply #74 on:** January 21, 2016, 08:27:08 AM »

I'm just going to get one...that way I can find out all the answers.

So as soon as they are available...my order will be in.

Like I NEED another rifle to put on the "I'm going to get to that ...really..." table.
Sheesh. But it IS an addiction of sorts.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

jaed.43725 · « **Reply #75 on:** January 21, 2016, 08:40:24 AM »

After they come out, give it a month or so and there will be all sorts of stuff available (dual tubes, tunes pushing heavy pellets 1000fps, Charlie De Tuna triggers, etc).

rsterne · « **Reply #76 on:** January 21, 2016, 01:49:18 PM »

I disagree.... Using a ruler to measure the length of the breech and rear sight adapter on the two photos, which then allows you to scale out the tube length, I think the tubes are the same length and the barrel on the Maximum is longer.... but we won't know for sure until they are available....

StevenG · « **Reply #77 on:** January 21, 2016, 02:42:26 PM »

I believe you mentioned crosman already makes a longer barrel with threads for the UK market.
That or I am again remembering things that have not yet happened.

rsterne · « **Reply #78 on:** January 21, 2016, 04:03:14 PM »

Yep, 26" for the Disco in the UK with threads.... just makes sense for them to use an already available part....

Bob

Bicycleman · « **Reply #79 on:** January 21, 2016, 04:16:26 PM »

Interesting - is it an exact swap for the US Discovery .22 barrel (Except for the length)?

Thank you to our advertisers!
