Need a little help from ones that have the Disco.
I received my Disco a few minutes ago and had to take her out of the box so she could breath.
She looked just fine with just a small flaw on the stock from rubbing on the box. I looked her over
good and tilted the gun and heard something loose in the air chamber. I just wanted to know if this was
normal. Could it be the check for the air in-let valve?
-
the check valve is loose...it's not captive by a spring, just a rod with a flange and a seal....if the rifle is empty of air, it will flop around.
Can SEE the end of the rod inside the nipple...could just push it in, put a ball of paper on top to hold it down, and then shake the gun and see if it still has something loose.
-
thank you, that it.
I wanted to make sure before I started to put air in.
I was hoping that I did not have to send it back.
-
Relief is just a puff of air away..:) Have fun.............

Gene it's a little late tonight but tomorrow after work we will do a little testing if the weather will let me with the chrony to see what kind of fps we get from this stock no mod. ag .
The local walmart only stock Daisey .22 pellets which are not to good at all. Tin range from 13.3 gn to 14.4 gn and the skirts are not uniform.
Need to go to Dicks sporting goods for now and wait on my order from P.A..
Going to half to get to know this new lady.

Yep, those Daisy pellets are not too good......good to use to break-in an airgun though. I`d used the Daisy wadcutters in .22 and .177....and found they`re not the most accurate....and maybe the lead is softer than other pellets or they`re not as heavy (Always forgetting to check their weight at Pyramid Air Guns)....because when I use them to shoot into soup cans, on occasion some of the .177 wouldn`t penetrate.....while the other brands/types of pellets always went through 4 or 6 layers of soup can metal. The .22 went through 5 or 6 layers....because I used them in PCP air rifles and the pellets are heavier. I would say the Daisy pellets are accurate up to 15 meters.....
