I bought and received a 6.5 inch carbon fibre wrapped LDC from MikeT.
My Disco went from "scares all the squirrels " loud to very very quiet. Installation was quick and painless.
I live in such a rural area and almost all gamo springers have similar looking brakes..I seriously doubt anyone would say a word about it. the entry hole where it slides over the barrel is so small that I don't know of even one rifle barrel that it would fit on.

Here is a stock picture as I have not had a chance to take any yet. I spent the whole weekend winterizing the house and only had time to install and shoot a few times.

I'm extremely happy with it.

Sweet! Now you can really put the sneak on ! Whats your total investment in all your gear if you don't mind me askin? I really really like the idea of a PCP.

Jerry,
This can be done very cheaply, and more importantly..over a period of time that wont break your wallet.
I do seriously recommend getting a Disco from Mac1...I have heard lots of folks buying stock models that were not that impressed. Everyone,Shooterjohn, Cliff, and myself from here(that I can think of) has really been impressed with theirs from Tim at mac1.

So, here goes the price list:

Mac1 tuned .22 Disco...$250.00, Scuba tank K-Valve adapter from Mac1...$75.00. total to my door was $354.00
Used 88 cu ft. 3300 psi scuba tank from local dive shop...........................................................................$85.00
Centerpoint 4x16 40mm illuminated scope from Walmart.........................................................................$69.99
Centerpoint high rings from Centerpoint.com delivered.......................................................................
.....$25.00
6.5 inch brake from MikeT ................................................................................
....................................$40.00
_______________________
TOTAL $573.99

There is a cheaper way.
Buy gun and pump from Mac1 for $400.00.
use any 11mm ring and any scope you have...you don't need an air rifle scope as there is no recoil.
You don't have to have a brake...most folks dont have them.
.22 pellets are harder to find and more expensive, .177 are everywhere.


Hope this helps Jerry, I have maybe shot my varmint rig twice since I got into air rifles...just too much fun and very economical.
In fact, my varmint AR15 may one day go on the sale block to pay for more air rifles or better tank setup.

Ron
BTW Jerry, I asked Eric to change my username from R7cuffs22 to RonB....I was tired of having two diff usernames around the web.

Thanks for such a comprehensive list! I didn't expect so much detail!

Ya know, I really like that dollar number. As soon as my old truck is sold...there might just be an air rifle headed to my door . I don't ever think I could sell my AR though lol.

Thanks Ron!
I understand about the name change, makes things a whole lot easier!

Sorry it took so long to post a picture..been workin my tail off around here

Sweet! This may be a dumb question, but are brakes on air rifles subject to any kind of laws? That looks really good! How quiet is it? As loud as a staple gun? Less? More?

Man that thing is cool!

Jerry,
I have read the ATF rules so many times my head hurts.
Basically, if the shroud can/could be removed by any means and attached to a firearm, then the ATF considers it a silencer.
In truth, it does quiet the gun but, almost all readily available air rifles from big box stores (wal mart, meijer, etc.) comes with a brake that resembles the brake I have. Most gamo, Crosman, and other brakes do not have holes so its either a great handle to cock the rifle or a barrel counter weight.
The Disco barrel muzzle diameter is so small that i cant think of even one pencil barrel sporter rifle that the shroud would fit.
Everyone has to take their own chances, but in all honesty, if your not doing something stupid with the rifle..you probably wont be bothered.

I'm not going to say nobody will ever say anything but, most people think of machine guns, pistols, sniper rifles, etc when they think silencer....I personally have not heard of a air rifle shooter being in trouble...yet.

They are marketed as a "lead dust collector" lol

Shooterjohn can probably point you in the right diresction for the articles, and a link might be posted on this forum somehwere.

Mine went from "damn thats loud" to quieter than a really weak bb gun. It did change my POI but not much,justa couple clicks.

That explains it pretty well to me, as that statement applies to much more than just rifles . Seriously, I am really considering picking one up when I get the money, and a moderator would definately be part of the equation. That is, if the state of IL doesn't have any laws against them on air rifles. Thanks for the explanation, it was very clear. I like how its marketed though! There is a guy here in town that sells paper weights that look like brass knuckles...maybe the two salesmen know eachother?

I'm sure I will post quite a bit when the money makes its way to my wallet, might as well start researching now.

Thanks,

Jerry

Jerry,
I researched for about a year, asking questions, reading every article online I could find as I could only find one guy in the Dayton Area with a PCP rifle on another forum, and he was a Rapid rifle owner and , well...they are a different breed ( no offense to any rapid owners here)

I got lucky and started reading Cliff's reviews of the Disco and was impressed that a scuba tank will fill it instead of having to buy a $600.00 carbon fibre tank, and decided to give it a try.
I would have loved to be able to find someone to let me hold/shoot, and show me how to fill the resevior. In an earlier post, I wrote about me having my first tank with no supervision and the break dance the tank did on my pretty barn floor.
A local guy from around here found my thread on another forum and contacted me..he came out with his wife and shot my Disco a week or so ago...He ordered one that night from Mac1

Anyway, enough rambling..I know how hard it is to shell out money for something you have never laid eyes on or handled.
You are about 5 hours from me, I think. If you can give me a few weeks to get caught up on stuff around here, I will gladly drive and meet you somewhere in the middle so you can see and handle/shoot the Disco as much as you want. I can bring the tank and show you how to fill it too.

If that sounds ok to you, I can even contact Indiana and see if they can recommend a public range in the middle somewhere.

Ron

Ron,

Thats a really smart thing to do, putting the time into research. I asked the guys at the local shop I use, and they haven't heard of really anybody that does much with the air rifle industry, PCPs especially. I have never held a PCP in my life. It really is a niche market it seems like, (here in the states anyway, I'm sure its an entirely different story in Europe!)

I've learned a whole bunch from everybody here, the airgun stuff is my next step I think. I've been a member here longer than I've owned a rifle, before I became legal to at 18. I'm the only one in my family that is into the shooting community, I know what ya mean about not being able to handle anything until you own it lol.

I don't think I read the story about your filling mishap. What happened?

Mostly I wanted to post and say thank you for offering to take time and meet me somewhere! That says a lot about your character and I am really greatful for your offer! Doing things like that really do show how great the people in this community are.

I'd have to say no thanks though, I don't want to make you spend an entire day to come down and meet me just to shoot your stuff and see if I like it. I'd feel really bad if I did. I'd take care of all of your costs, but time cannot be made up. My friends go to Cedar Point every summer, if I go with them I'll let ya know and I'll gladly meet ya somewhere local for ya.

Thanks again for the offer, I REALLY appreciate it! We'll work something out one of these days! I'm pretty well set on buying one sometime in a couple months, so maybe we'll have to go get some squirrels.



Thanks,

Jerry

I recently traded my Disco .22 for a tank setup. I can agree it's great to shoot and having a ldc makes a world of difference.
I don't know if they have any in store, but Dick's has .177 Disco setups posted online. If you have one in IL maybe you could check it out a bit more.
Pcps are great I prefer the heavier ammo. I have a Career Infinty now.

When I was researching to get my disco, I couldn't find one in store..an online sale only. At least in ohio anyway. I couldn't even find .22 pellets at Dicks. They do stock every long action center fire you can think of....in a state where you cannot deer hunt with a rifle but, not much in the way of airguns. Before a year or so again, the only thing higher end over a Crosman 760 was the Sheridan available around here. Now the big box stores are at least carrying some springers....Winchester (daisy), Crosman, and some Gamo models.

I haven't seen the Infinity yet, I'll have to look that one up. Although I am enjoying my Disco way too much to consider another PCP right now, I would lke a higher end model one day. I still love the looks and want an AAs410 in .22 but, that would require a better tank and hose setup. I also love the idea of the Disco being a Knock around gun and anything too pretty, I almost think I would be afraid of scratching it to really enjoy it. Of course Cliff and John have been teasing me with their Monsoons.....maybe one day.

Here it is without the bipod and sling. It's 6 shot and adjustable power.
