Disco double air tube - improved version - opinions wanted

[gene_sc]

Darryl, if Lloyd does not offer a complete gun I would be glad to help you out...

[lloyd-ss]

lloyd, I don't even own a Disco, but this mod is fascinating. To think of the possibilities for shot count and energy in .25...just excellent. Will you offer a a complete .25 version for sale (with a full shroud, maybe)?
looking good, man,
darryl

Darryl,
Thanks, man, but for the time being, I am just going to stick with the producing the kit.  I don't want to over-commit and then not be able to keep my promises.  Sounds like there are options, though.

very cool idea, this is something i would definitely be interested in once you get it in production.  My only concern would be altering my stock, would there be a template or directions or possibly the ability to send the stock in to have it done.  Id much rather pay someone to do it then try it myself, im just not good at stuff like this.

[lloyd-ss]

Scotty,
I am working on an arrangement for getting stocks altered.  For someone who has the correct tools, its a very very straight forward and low risk alteration.  If you look at the front of the Disco and picture a second air tube of identical diameter Siamesed tight to the bottom of the original, that's where the wood will have to be removed.

Get the stock secured in a rock solid clamp and the correct router bit. Should only take one or 2 passes to get the airtube channel cut deeper...

Lloyd.... you've done an excellent job not only in testing this product but in figuring out how to bring it to market as a kit.... My hat's off to you....

Bob,
Well, Thank you very, very, much!  That means quite a lot to me, and I will live up to the expectations.

I (and all of us here) are so glad to have you back with us.  Many times when you were in the hospital I'd read a thread and think to myself, "Bob would be the person to field that one.  He's got the answer, and the data to back it up!"
Best regards, and welcome back,
Lloyd

Ha, Ha.  Sometimes i think I need to have some traffic lights installed up there.

I just scored a QB78 target stock and I'll be routing it out and installing the Disco Double action in it tonight, with pics.  Here is a Disco stock with the Disco Double action, and the new (to me) QB78 stock.

Does the fill port move to the bottom tube? How much barrel is left sticking out for mounting appliances?

Yes, the fill port moves to the front end of the new lower tank.  Both tanks will have matching end caps. The gauge stays where it is on the main upper tank.  The tanks both stick out the front the same distance as original.

I might offer an option of  shortening the tubes  for carbine applications.  The new tube would be shorter and then you'd send the original tube from the gun to me to be shortened to match.  The double barrel band (with option of a third top hole to capture the barrel or shroud) I am making will have a short section of Picatinny (Weaver) rail on the bottom for a bipod or sling.

great idea Lloyd;makes me want a pcp,would this also work on the marauder as well?

[grumpy]

I would take one in a min but have zero wood working skills. That would exclude me from purchasing one. Real bummer.

[MustangMike]

grumpy you could always look up a cabniet maker local to you or any local wood working shop. take them the stock and the airtube and see if they would run a router down the stock.. should only take a couple of minutes...

id think even a dremel with the router setup on it could handle the job

[lloyd-ss]

Hadn't give much thought to the Mrod yet, its air tube is pretty big from the factory.  But once the disco one is underway I will take a serious look.

Come on Grumpy,  absolutely ZERO woodworking skills???  Can ya whittle a tooth pick? Seriously, what Mike says is right. 
Also, I am getting a website set up that will have some do-it-yourself videos of the install and stock modification.  Plus there are some folks on this forum that I bet will be happy to offer the service of doing the stock mods for people.

i even thought of a wood file, pull the plastic handle off and take a metal handle onto the flat side then use the curved side and run it up and down the stock to file the airtube cut down to fit.. it would take longer but could be done that way.. even a decent set of chisles and working slow then doing a follow up with a file and sand paper

the wood on the disco stocks is very soft in terms of wood..
