Well, I MIGHT be tempted to try one of these.  One question, though.  Why did they put such a butt-ugly stock on the gun?  I t looks like a throwback to the 1960's CO2 guns.  Judging from the nice after-market stocks I've seen, they sure could do a bit better.  Anyone make a bit more modern stocks to fit them?  (No ragging now.)

All a matter of $.  To get a PCP that sells for under $250, going to have to put up with a simple inexpensive stock. Are several custom stockers, and know of a cuple m ore who are gearing up for do it yourself inletted blanks, but for a really nice piece of high quality wood, can expect to spend the price of the gun.

Sure they do, I have seen a few I like and I think I prefer a laminate thumb hole with a nice roll over comb or slammin Walnut in the same style. And yes about the cost of a Disco. I never meant to own a Disco but now do and love it though it is small, too light (really just another pound or two please) and a short LOP. I also never planned on having custom stocks on the 48/52 the AA410 the Bam51, gosh where could this be leading? Oh no I do have yet more old growth Ash, what will I ever do?
 I dont make mine and sure cant say I can get you one but if you really wanted a true one of a  kind custom Disco stock down the road you could shoot me an email.
 And have you seen the video of Crosman making a stock in 90 seconds?

So, the Disco is like the 10/22 carbine in that sense?  Just seems a shame since they could just as easily drafted up a bit nicer design.  For example, you don't see too many bag grips on air guns any more.  At least, not since the late 60's.
