General Disco question

[RedFeather]

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.

Hey John, wanna sell some of that old growth ash?
