Question on a Discovery / 2400 conversion.

[45Bravo]

I am currently running a .177 2400 that is extremely accurate, and quiet with the 24 inch disco barrel that is currently on it, and the TKO.

I am thinking of going hpa on it, but rather than the hipac conversions, I am thinking discovery tube and valve.

With the disco tube, valve and fill cap, what else would I have to do, or parts to have, to make it mate up to my 2400 steel breech and grip assembly?

The steel breech has the forward screw, not the one hidden under the bolt..

It will also have a tipman stock adapter, with the power adjuster built in.

Thanks in advance.

tagged in case I want to change my 2400kt also


I think the main tube is a drop in, though we will wait for others to chime in

Also curious on this(even with just buying an actual discovery lol).

You can always go with a Cothran SS tube and get 3k psi with it.

Good choice, using the Disco tube, valve, valve screws, and fill fitting.... You MAY have to drill and tap the tube for the forward breech screw, or only tap it if it's already drilled (the last one I got was).... I can't think of anything else you need to change that you haven't already, except maybe a Disco hammer spring....

Oh fudge, I forgot one thing, the gauge...

Now to assemble the parts list and prices for what I need.

I have no need for any enhancement in speed over what the stock disco tube brings to the table, over the co2.

Low pressure, quick to fill with a pump, not temp sensitive, and faster than co2.

Keep us updated

Could you elaborate and do you have a link?

Yup, I also forgot the gauge, gauge mount, and gauge block with O-ring that goes in front of the valve.... me bad.... I would recommend that you get a PRod gauge block and use a 1/8" NPT male-female extension to mount the gauge instead of the Disco parts, however, they flow air much better....
