Awesome looking and a good shooter Too!Lloyd makes them work great doesnt he! Ive had my dbl p-rod coming close to a year soon and i still go for it the most! Now im gonna work on my Disco and let Norm do some work to her and a whole new paint scheme but using coated graphics instead of just colors so it will be a few months but seeing youres finished makes me want to do it sooner! Again good looking gun after all together!

Good to see you posting Darrel. Figure you've been real busy lately. Yep Norm will fix you right up. What graphics you planning on using?

thanks guys

got some good news, ive been spending the last few days pondering a indoor chrony range. i had one before but it was some what hard to set the disco up on it. so im going to be building another one and should have a bunch of chrony numbers up for the carbine sometime in the next week or 2.. odds are sooner. lloyd sent me some springs to try out for various psi ranges and i got a tin of eun jin 28.5gr pellets from gil aka sqrl klr.. so im going for broke and a dead even 50fpe to see if i can get 3 shots off it with a 3000psi fill and then im going to detune it down to 30fpe and see how many shots i can get out of it with jsb 18.13gr pellets and then go back and figure out what energy level i want and then start narrowing down fill pressures so the first 3 shots are the sweet spot

finally found a dive shop that fills to 4500 so my tank is now sitting at 4100 psi...

I'm glad to see your going to dive world and thanks again for telling the shop owner about you tank guy,As so it sounds like he will have a bigger fill station in the future!
This is great news for us Central Texas guys!
O' and lets not forget the 4500psi station in Hutto,only on the weekends though.(Kamikazi Paintball Sports)

MustangMike · « **Reply #24 on:** December 02, 2012, 10:24:25 PM »

hutto is a good bit of a drive for me, i just take parmer to 620 hang a left, hit 183 and hang another left and then right at the next light. follow it down to 620 and dive world is on the left hand side of lake creek ...

the carbine is FILLED !!!!!!!

have no idea why i was so paranoid about filling from a tank and what happens when the valve is cracked open or how much force is needed to crack the valve open.. went nice and smooth but altho i filled extremely slow since it took all of 15 seconds to fill the tiny air tube on the carbine it still got about as warm as the disco did when pumping it up by hand.. but oh well i feel like doing the happy dance now that i have a full usable tank .. well 4000psi is some what full

LOL,
yeah, it's kind of stressful the first 3 or 4 times you first fill your gun with a tank but after doing over and over,it's noting to do, try filling a Condor tank but I bet it's harder to fill a smaller tank, like the ones on your guns?

MustangMike · « **Reply #26 on:** December 03, 2012, 01:16:24 AM »

lol my disco has a 7in extension that alone took me from 20 shots between 2000 and 1000 psi to 40 shots exactly between 2000-1000 psi. not saying it doubled it but it added enough that ya its a loong tube.. one day you will get to shoot it and im going to double tube so the double tube will need to be 7in longer then normal so i can maintain my the use of extension and a super massive shot count. i want 3 to 4 full mags in the sweet spot with a heavy hammer spring and jsb 18.13 pellets.

the carbinei was really worried about because of how small the airtube is but it was a cake walk, really didnt fill all that fast. heck twice i was able to look down at the handle to make sure i was ready to close the valve at 2500psi. only the first 3inches of airtube got warm during the filling.

ALSO AN UPDATE : i take back what i said about it being loud lol,seem that once the pressure drops down to 1500-1650 psi it gets louder to where you get some ringing of the ears even with the tko... but from 2500 down to about 1850-1700 the tko does a BEAUTIFUL job at its well job. i mean seriously it does shockingly well from 2500-1850 but it is still just a tad to loud for my back yard but not for chrono testing in the garage..

and looks like im adding another tank from possum to my collection... thank you possum for working with me on that. so now i have a 44cf 30min tank and soon i will have a 88cf 60min tank..

Very nice Mike! Love the stock!
How does it shoot? Have you done any paper punching/accuracy testing yet?

I have been thinking about a Carbine built myself lately, but that includes a Talon SS (12" barrel) with a hi-flow tank and Condor hammer+spring. Sort of a "stubby" .25cal with around 15-20 45-50fpe shots, or lots of 35-40fpe shots on low power with JSB Kings.

we want to see some numbers

nice gun!
i just put together my stainless steel 2260pcp last night i was told to never shoot that gun in the house again or i would be banned LOL
know what you mean by loud.a while back i told you that tko wont do much for that bark

there are solutions to that and run just over $100 cant wait to test mine
im going to post a thread on my recent build.like yours it is a beast cant wait to get the .25 together now

lloyd-ss · « **Reply #30 on:** December 03, 2012, 08:31:09 PM »

Mike, if you just need to take a little more of the bark out of it, try this.
Get a very sturdy cardboard box (double wall is perfect) about 2' x 2' x 3'.
Cut a rectangular hole in the middle of two opposite sides, about 1.5" wide x 3" tall.
Might have to be a little bigger or smaller.
Stick the muzzle into one of the holes, and shot out of the other hole.
All that volume in a heavy box will not so good up a lot of noise, and it doesn't cost a thing.
Throw an old blanket in there and it will get even quieter.

I use that method shooting across the chrony in my shop.

nice lloyd

but really in its power pressure range it wont be going down below 1800 psi.. from 2500 to 1800ish it nice, not as loud as a non tko disco maybe about the loudness of a gamo break barrel.. when i got it i couldnt fill it and lloyd was nice enough to leave 1500psi so i shot that down right away... tko is perfect just not for back yard work

disco has a leak at the gauge block so i gotta tear that down tonight or tomorrow and replace the oring and then i can focus on getting the chrony range setup.

i will say this with the power adjust cranked down to were it just barely cocks and then back off a 1/8 turn.. shooting 28.5gr eun juns at my padded box i shoot at in the garage dang near knocked it over

and im picking up a tank from possum 5yrs of life left, fresh hydro this year, 170 shipped for a 60min scba tank.. so that gives me a 30 minute tank and a 60 minute tank so ya no more excuses to not buy a 25, 2 double tube kits and get in all the shooting i want
