The brown truck is out with the gun!!!!! "OUCH" just bumped my nose again on the window, it will be even flatter by day's end LOL. As for the camera shot's Bro. sadly the best I can "maybe" do is pic.'s with my phone as I do not have a decent camera. OUCH!!!! JEEZ maybe I should just go sit on the porch before I break my nose!?!

Something tells me we're not going to hear again from Jay till after his feet hit terra firma! Likely sometime after midnight!

LOL!!! Nope Paul here I am!!! The gun JUST arrived at 6:50PM, an I'm done unpacking it an looking it over(even went outside an shot a pellet at the phone pole), I'd like to say I got #1 BUT I knew that was out because on "another" forum someone had already claimed that number, but I did end up with #51 out of the first 75. LOL An I HIT the button at exactly 0 count so I'd say the line on Crosman that they all sold in the first 30 minute's was a slight fib,more like 3 second's I'd say, if even that long!?! O.K. so here goes on first impression. Trigger is sweet out of the box but I know me an I WILL play with it some, fit an finish is very good on the pistol part's, I would say that for the money they could of made nice wood grip's an splinter forearm for the pistol but the black fiber stock's are fit very well an will function well till someone start's makeing custom one's(I think wood will set this gun off nice). So over all I think the pistol will be a very nice addition to my collection an get me hooked on the PCP game. I promise to get pic's up just as soon as I can for you all too see but NOW it's time to go to the gun room an clean,mount scope an make sure all is tight an ready for tomorrow's day of shooting it. Will keep the GTA up on it as the gun get's it's start!!!!

Congratulations JAY!!!

You know I want those photos so I won't bug ya. Any impressions you care to share will be eagerly followed here on the left coast.

I am pretty sure you got a lower serial than I will... I will be happy with #75 if that's what it is. I figure by the time they made yours, they were starting to get good at it...

Congrats on the new shooter Jay. Will you adopt me? Ha, ha. I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank's guy's for the interest in the pistol. I guess I'll continue the posting on this gate if the MOD's have no problem's with it(or maybe they would prefer it over in the darkside?) Pistol look's even better with alittle cleaning an the scope mounted, could of possible used med. height mount's but went with the Millett adjustable high one's which gave about 1/4" or slightly more clearance for the mag(I'd say the med. will be very close setting). The barrel was "very" clean for a new gun, two passes with #9 an 4 patch's an they came out clean. As the gun came charged to 1200 psi(Gary is going to stop tomorrow an charge it up for me till my pump come's in) I could not help myself up in the gun room but to load the mag an pop a couple into a ballistic soft body plate out of my gear from about 18ft away,even at that charge the 14.3 pellet's where completely flat on impact an I mean "pancake flat", the trigger does have a tiny bit more first stage than I like but that is an easy fix,second stage(break) is about 2lb from my guess an I have alot of pistol's set at 2 so I'd say I'm close with my guess,I'll set the trigger over travel when I have more time but from what I felt it is set pretty close so Crosman's tech's really worked these first one's over very well before releasing them to us. The grip's an forearm are the only thing I see still that they could of done better on as they really are just plastic(high grade but still plastic) I really think they should be wood at the price of the gun, Oh an I did find a slight bit of casting divot's in the front of the grip frame that I did not notice on first inspection(yeah I'm a perfectionist when it come's to gun's). Well I've bent your all's ear's enough till I get some shooting in with her an some pic's to show ya....Jay

Regarding the scope mount height, thanks for the observations on magazine clearance. What about the bolt? Does your scope overhang the bolt, and how much would it clear if you did?

Nice write up on the trigger, I think I can live with that setup for starters!

How is weight and balance for a one-hand stance? I don't think this pistol is made for real 10m competition, but I can't help wondering...

Jay · « **Reply #29 on:** November 24, 2010, 11:48:43 AM »

Dave my scope is the 3x7 32mm Ncstar,I think you said something about using one? Wanted a better one but it being near Christmas the picking's were slim at the show as most were gone on Sunday,but it hang's about 3" back behind the gun an does not interfer with the bolt at all even with it still on the right side(I will sometime soon change it to left hand side). An yes I think Crosman has a winner with this new trigger as it is very nice straight from the box. The balance is surprisingly good on these gun's but I would say with a one hand stance you might get a little side to side dance just from the length of them an the bulk of the air tube as it does have a slight forward weight but you might have stronger wrist's than me an find it no problem.

daveshoot · « **Reply #30 on:** November 24, 2010, 11:58:20 AM »

My NC is just the little long eye relief pistol scope, like a 1.5x fixed.

I was also thinking that I would want the bolt on the left, being a right hand shooter it seems like a better setup on a pistola.

Jay · « **Reply #31 on:** November 24, 2010, 06:18:16 PM »

Dave just wanted to add that after you asked about the bolt an scope I went an checked again for you, the bolt lift on the pistol's only turn's up to straight out from the side then back to cock so there is no way for the scope to interfer with it.

.

It does "look" just like the one on Crosman's site LOL!!!!!

Gary · « **Reply #35 on:** November 26, 2010, 08:24:23 AM »

I can swear to Jay's statement about looking like the one on Crosman's site. At least when I saw it two days ago.
Jay you need to tell us what you think about pumping and don't hold back.
Gary

MichaelM · « **Reply #36 on:** November 26, 2010, 12:55:43 PM »

For once I actualy feel sorry for the old man.... it HAS rained non stop since he got that gun LOL

Jay · « **Reply #37 on:** November 26, 2010, 01:51:32 PM »

That's an easy one to answer Gary IT BITE'S BIG TIME, not bad till you reach the 2,200 mark then after that it take ALL of my 200+ lb's to push the last 3" of compression stroke down an into the gun!?! I do have it now up at 2,800 psi an the sky's have cleared off SO I'm off to sight her in today!!! An Bro. Gary I THANK YOU FOR THE USE OF YOUR PUMP, an for coming an charging my pistol with your tank, I "hope" my pump show's up today (come on brown truck).

Gary · « **Reply #38 on:** November 26, 2010, 03:49:52 PM »

Thats what I think to Jay, but I am at a slightly larger handicap at 140 lbs. I almost bought a B-51 when they first came out. Glad crosman came to the rescue with the Disco. No problem with coming to your home and filling your pistol, I wanted to see one anyway and on top of that the wives got to meet, just may take some of the heat off us. LOL.
Gary

MichaelM · « **Reply #39 on:** November 26, 2010, 04:31:50 PM »
