10 days at tops. I have every spring, bolt, washer etc. I need right here in the shop. Lathe , mill chronograph you name it I got it. Its all about time and how much I can drop on this project. I have done several SSG already for mrod-prod-hatsan-2240 so it shouldnt be much of a problem.

So tonight I drilled out the threads on my prod hammer 1/4" and the spring cavity to 3/8". Have a rough design together but cant test it as im waiting for a new bolt but looks very promising. Wondering what the length of the spring and bolt people are using for internal designs.

Prod trigger assy from crosman is only 36.50 and Mrod trigger assy is only 48.93 with 4 buck flat rate shipping for both so IMO they are not pricey at all for what you get as I am building a disco tubed, 3000 psi, challenger hammer,spring and RVA, Prod triggered, 1399 stocked, steel breeched, daisy Avanti 20 inch LW barreled, FT gun right now and have less that the price of a new disco in it so far and fully expect it to shoot circles around any disco as well as get twice the shot count.

Mike

Hey Mike, how much did the Avanti barrel run?

Joe
I rebuilt a 853 Avanti for a friend that had a busted pot metal valve housing and it comes as the barrel, valve assy and housing as a unit for 65 bucks from daisy. So I pressed the old barrel out of the cracked housing and had to machine off the reduced leade spigot that presses into the Avanti housing to have a flat end just like the breech end of a crosman barrel since its 7/16" diameter just like a crosman barrel is and 20 inches long.

Then I just located the transfer port hole position in the barrel by inserting into a steel crosman breech and drilled out the port to .140" and drilled out the leade to fit the pellets and one Avanti /Crosman barrel is born.

So I guess you could say they are 65 bucks from daisy with valve and housing that are non essential parts.

Mine was free as part of the rebuild deal.

Nice Mike and thanks for all the info. I might have to go that route for a .177 build I'm planning.

EXCELLENT I'll be one of the first in line to order one.
Can't use the external style one I made on my setup without clearancing my pretty Boyds stock. A lot.
I'll continue to follow this thread to see how you're doing with it and please let us know when you have them on your site and available.

Ill post results and availability right here in this thread

I'm pretty excited myself. I think my wife would shoot her disco more if it didn't take a fill after every dozen shots.

Joe yea it is actually cheaper to go the daisy Avanti route than to buy a Crosman challenger LW barrel as they are 93 bucks plus 4 bucks shipping. The Avanti barrel does require some machining to work but then thats half the fun IMO.

I have been stalled on my Disco franken gun build as I got the QB bug and am busy building a couple of those but will be back to the disco soon.

If you have any more question don't hesitate to ask.

Mike

10 days have come and gone no news from the hinterlands.. What's up? there are many of us waiting with eager anticipation for the news...

In fairness to Travis, the rifle arrived at his shop Friday afternoon. I preferred the 5 days of UPS over the USPS method of turning 3 days into 3 weeks. Really happened, this year...

Not to mention it costs more USPS Priority for something of that weight.
I PM'd Travis about making them using Prod hammer optional.
Later I realized his Mrod kit doesn't include the hammer and requires you to drill out the stock piece yourself to 1/4".
I'm not entirely sure that's the plan for the Disco kit or not, but I have a couple brand new Disco hammer weights just for this purpose and offered them to Travis for development. I suspect he has some already though. Would be easier to start with the Prod weight since it's already drilled but maybe that's not an issue for him.
