ive decided to put together/purchase a a tuned and scoped qb78 for my son ryan...........of course that means dad will need something new as well !! so how about a few pics and a brief narrative of your modded discos ?
im not concerned about the single shot restrictions..........it just means i need to hit what i aim at ;)
thanks in advance guys !

Bought mine from MAC 1 last September with the hand pump. TIM goes thru trigger, adds power adjuster,re-crowns barrel,etc...
It is very accurate...I use it mostly hunting but have shot in some matches....have nailed squirrels out to 66 yards...
1 3/8" dia bull at 51 yards...

thanks rich,....i love my MM b26, but have an ich for a pcp .........as soon as the budget allows i'll be picking up the qb for ryan, the 2250 carbine for heather and the disco for me. i thought about a marauder,....but cant justify the added expense for a repeater.
i'll likely source a scuba tank sometime soon, what would i need as far as a fill source for the disco ?
-
I have the Benjamin pump for fills at home,and the Benjamin Tank with fill adapter which is regulated to 2000 psi for the Disco. AOA has the tank/adapter....it is small enough to fit in my day pack for hunting...6-8 fills from this tank...

Another option for tanks are the Catalina tanks at Sports Chalet...they come with "K" valve and all you need is a scuba fill adapter..(MAC 1 has those)...
The Catalina tanks are aluminum and fill to 3440...they come in 9CF,13CF,30CF,63CF and 80 Cf....

thanks rich, the regional manager of western air is a buddy of mine, hence the scuba tank question. i'll be calling tim at mac-1 regarding a disco and the fill adapter..!!
-
I'm in the market for a tank...but not sure about getting a 4500 psi tank until I know there are a few places to get one filled....that's why i was looking at the Catalina tanks at 3440 psi...because Sport Chalet will fill them..
-
i'll keep sport chalet in mind for the smaller tank,..................matt ( my buddy the gm over at westair on vernon at marshal ) can fill the larger tanks..........cheaply...........
by the way,...registered ryan and myself for the next hunter safety class......gotta get legal..........
-
Let me know when you complete your safety course....we can get Ryan on some squeeks....!!!

grins....he's getting good rich.its kinda scary !!
