We all started somewhere.
My gateway to the Dark Side was.... yup, a Disco.... I still have it, except now it's a .25 cal that shoots over 100 FPE....

I see what you did there.

Well my gateway was pumpers back in the 60's and then a friends dad modded a couple .22 pumpers for me to about 17 fpe( Felt like I had m baddest pumpers ever) back in the 80's... good short range Tools...

Friend gave a yardsale $25 1985 Daisy 953 to me a little while ago low serial... did not find out what I had till here, thought it was a put together... came here looking for pumper mods...seeing what had been done...

sunk about 500+ into a small fleet of 13xxs and hybrids; the Mk pump tube/valve is the one that deserves an external tank (thickest valve wall)...

Last year came the planned ,25 Mrod... and a bargain Buccaneer I just could not pass up...

Some one said I was hooked when I said my hello, I said you say that to all the...

Big tank or small tank it has been a long path of these pumpers... I wish for a PCP with 101 styling but heck this one is still very cool...

I realize what may be B*** ug** to me is appealing to others... just can not stand plastic flowers and the end of the stock is a plastic tulip...

why do the 12fpe crowd get the long 26" barrel and not us?

I guess the specs that Pyramyd had when I posted before were in error, because it has changed ,now it states the barrel length is 26.25"...

K.O. · « **Reply #164 on:** February 16, 2016, 04:30:55 AM »

But Pyramyds sister company Airgun Depot still list the barrel length as 24.25"...

It is called a Schnable forend actually.

I would like my plastic shnobble stock in the shiny brown faux wood variety.

moorepower · « **Reply #167 on:** February 17, 2016, 08:17:22 AM »

I would like it to have the quality of a K95 Blaser, but it probably won't happen. I would take a decent walnut stock with that stuling in a heartbeat. I don't care for the typical PCP boat paddle. More of a Daystate Huntsman style/quality stock

K.O. · « **Reply #168 on:** February 17, 2016, 03:37:28 PM »

Call it what you want it still looks like a plastic tulip... but hey stocks can be changed and I do have some walnut and maple... Now that I am pretty sure that it has a 26" barrel I would love one in .22... anyone interested in a Valve jr 5w head or Line 6 Spyder 15w amp..?

Bump, to resubscribe to this thread. Thought I'd already done that! Considering a Maximus, but, it would need to be QUIET...

While talking about less noise, has anyone built a LDC for the Maximus yet? Yes, I know it isn't even available yet.

The barrel is probably the same OD as a Disco. TKO might work. I might get 1 when they are available and get an LDC later

birdmove · « **Reply #173 on:** February 18, 2016, 01:51:20 PM »

I am super happy with TK muzzle brake. I have one on my Custom Shop 2400KT CO2 carbine . .177. Works great.

Thanks Kirby - and the barrel is supposed to be threaded already. That means no adapter needed. Win - win!

K.O. · « **Reply #175 on:** February 18, 2016, 06:27:22 PM »

well about the threaded barrel my attitude is to wait and see... I know what they said but..?

Either the barrel is longer or the tube is shorter. If it retails at $199 I will have to buy one.

According to Pyramyd Air the barrel is listed as 26 inches long. The disco is 24.

When I receive my income tax i may go ahead and pre order...Im trying to think of the possible mods...i know the ones id do is a mrod trigger group and spacer from DRS add and ldc of some sort(TKO should go ahead and make one for it) and thats about it from there id polish the internals myself and just shoot

Cant wait to here more

Cheers

Airgun.Sniper · « **Reply #178 on:** February 24, 2016, 11:48:28 PM »

I just had a thought...a new disco is $259 and a refurb disco is $174. thats $85 off of msrp...so with my thinking could one imagine that gun being $114 bucks? that would be a still for that much.
