I tried to order one today and thought I would call first . The first telephone number given on their web page is disconnected , the other 's mailbox is full. I don't think I'll be ordering one anytime soon. kirby

David, I just talked to them a few minutes ago about my order that I made Saturday.  It was moved from "pending" to "processing" on Sunday, but I hadn't heard anything from them and was getting a little 'antsy!'  I got to speak to George the boss and he apologized that it was taking so long.  He said that they had been swamped by the response and would be getting the weekend's orders out tomorrow.  Don't give up on them.  A number of guys have already gotten great guns and in a timely fashion.  I can understand them being a little slow since the price is so good and I'm sure there have been a lot of orders with all the attention on the forums recently.  I'll let you know when I get mine and how it does.  joe

Don't lose faith. I ordered one Saturday also. It took quite a few tries to get through to the 305#



I guess having low overhead means answering the phone yourself...



Should be here tomorow...

Gopher, did you get a tracking number?  I haven't received confirmation of shipping on mine, yet.  Yeow, I'm so excited I just bought another airgun off the yellow.  This waiting is killing me!!!LOL  HAHA-It's costing me "nervous" money as well.  Mama just looked over my shoulder a few mins ago and asked, "What are you buying now?"  UHOH!

I passed by Sunshine Airguns today,its 5 minutes from my apt. There the real deal, super nice and helpful guy. The owners name is George. Really cool dude. He helped me out setting up a scope and mount solution to my Qb79. Today he opened at 4 o'clock. He' was super busy on the phone with customers asking about the benji's. Its basically a one man show. Him at the desk and phone, but he makes time for face to face customers. I had started a thread in the backroom section on my experience.



edit: I'll add that by 4 o'clock today, he had mentioned he sold 19 discos. and the calls were still coming in.

No, I didn't get a tracking number. I ordered by phone and forgot to give him an email address.



When I called him Tuesday for it, he wasn't in the shop, but he said it was shipped Saturday.



I was supposed to call him back later on to give him my email but I forgot.



I am assuming it will be here tomorrow.

I did not get a tracking number either. Just a notice that it had been sent. But a few days later I DID get my Disco.

OK , I emailed Sunshine airguns and about the availability of the discovery and received an email back that they were in stock, so I ordered one . We'll see how long it takes . Hopefully the 3-5 business days the website says . I plan on stippling the forearm and grip areas on the stock and maybe adding a RJ machine breech to it . kirby

I have one in .177 with the pump,coming from Sunshine as well.Great deal!The best part is that you can order the parts to make it a .22 directly from Crosman..22 barrel,bolt.and o-ring,is all it takes.Cost about $25.00 to make this gun into a .22.About ten minutes of your time,and you have a dual caliber Disco!

I have had a Discovery .177 with pump ordered from Sunshine for 3 weeks. I called Geroge last Saturday to see what the statis of my order was and he said he would look into it and let me know. He called me back to tell me it didn't get shipped for some reason and he would take care of it right away. Wednesday I got an e-mail from him confirming it has been shipped UPS. I'm hoping to see it early next week. My first PCP and at 145 lbs. I hope i have the (you know what) to pump it.

Charlie,

Charlie,
You won't have a problem pumping up the Disco.It's filled at 2000 PSI.Things get harder when you have to go 3000+ with a hand pump,with a-lot of other PCP's
