Can anyone tell me if the new disco is any different than the old one, as it pertains to their fit in a custom stock?

Also, who currently makes stocks for discos?

Boyds make custom Disco stocks. Here's my .177

Eric,
By new Disco, are you referring to the new Benjamin Maximus? Certainly a decent entry level PCP.

Yup. Oops.

There was a discussion about the stock being too shallow for DDs, when they came out, but I can't remember if it was determined that they would fit in the custom stocks for Discos.

I am not sure if the Maximus will fit in a standard Disco stock or not. It looks like it should, but I am not positive. One thing I am pretty sure about is that even though the Disco Double kit will fit the Maximus, the synthetic stock probably cannot be modified to accept the extra tube. The synthetic stocks only have some ribs inside and once you cut into them, there isn't much left.

PA is having their 20% off 20th Birthday sale today and I have been debating about ordering a Maximus to see what makes it tick. You can never have too many airguns, right?

This is a claim made by many knowledgeable people. I will defer to their expertise.

Will the Marauder double tube fit into a Boyd's TH stock?

Don, I think Norm at Discos R Us is the best one to answer that one. He is Norm_m on the GTA.
I know it is real close.

The Boyd's Blaster TH stock is the one Norm did for the Disco Doubles, Discos, and MRods.... but I thought he was pulling back from inletting stocks because they took too long....

http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=106123.0

Perhaps you should ask Norm if he will still do them for the DD?....

OK, I just finished all 76 pages. My head hurts. Other than that, YOU GUYS definitely belong in the big brain club. Great work. Now just have to go back through it all and try to get it to sink in.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Believe me, Matt, it matters to me that someone takes the time to know what they are talking about, when it comes time to order. It pays.

There ought to be some kind of an award for guys who inform themselves thoroughly, in spite of the drudgery involved here.

I'm looking around...

Guys, it turns out my spam filter has been overprotective (to put it mildly), and has kept a bunch of mail hidden for a long time... including from long term contacts (like GTA notifications... that should have been my first clue...

).

If you have emailed SA, and didn't get a reply within about 2 days... please resend it?

Thanks!

Tri-5-Ron and I have been brainstorming tonight, and this is the result:

It appears that the Evanix mags can be fitted to the Fusion/60s. He had one in hand as we measured it all out, and in some ways, it will be easier to fit than the .25 MRod (or Lloyd's .30 conversion of that mag... Lloyd and I discussed bumping that up to .357, but it looked iffy at best).

The reason I'm excited about all this is we know the Fusion/60s will take up to a .357 barrel liner... and now we have a mass produced mag. It appears all the mags from .177 up will fit... including the double mags.

This was figured out as I was looking into using a Bulldog mag... and trying to figure out if I could mount it so it would clear a scope. Ron turned me on to the Evanix .731", and we spent all my battery hashing it out.

Love to play with this guy!

Got to poking around, and found out something I didn't realize: I can fit a .45 barrel liner in these. With the 1/4 - 28 screws (with the biggest heads that I stock) you are limited to a .373" long port... unless I cut a sleeve for the F screw, allowing a full .45 long port, or go with an even bigger screw. A 5/16 - 18 (145Kpsi) will allow a .437" long port. Close enough?

Evanix .45 mag (ouch) fits .600" long bullets: https://www.pyramydair.com/product/evanix-tactical-sniper-rifle-magazine-45-cal-6rds?a=5091

rsterne · « **Reply #1518 on:** May 23, 2016, 12:42:47 PM »

Pricy mags, especially the .45 cal.... My 244 gr. BBT in .457 would fit for length, though, it is 0.573" long.... In .357, even the 178 gr. BBT would fit, it is 0.714" long....

How much wall thickness will you have on the barrels in .357 and .457 cal?.... You would only notice a difference between a 3/8" port and a 7/16" in the .457 if you are pushing over 400 FPE (200 gr. at 950ish) on 3000 psi.... My Hayabusa hit 550 FPE with a 30" barrel at 3600 psi with a 3/8" port.... Don't forget, once you go past about 80% of bore, you have to make an oblong barrel port....

The liners will remain full thickness. The .45 is 5/8", a touch bigger than the channel... I have a 5/8" reamer to bring the receiver to spec, and to allow me to make that dimension standard so I can sleeve anything smaller up to that (like my .22 ultra light barrel, seen previously). That allows the barrels to be interchanged at will. Add 1 barrel, 1 mag and 1 bolt, and you have a dual caliber set up.

The adjustable reg will give us a wide range of easy tunes. GRS will make it a very wide range. I'd be happy with a .22/.45... it would cover a lot of ground.
