Benjamin Post antique discos and how yours is tuned.
- Thread starter 6gun
- Start date
177 with 2 lengths of pull from previous owner. Arken 4-16 44 ffp 900 fps with cphp almost as precise as my fx guns, 25 extremely close shots per fill (2100g1500). 0.042 hammer spring, mrod trigger that borders on too light. Aoa hdd. Stock is about to get a refinish.
Pretty disco in 22, vortex viper pst 2.5-10 x44 sfp(good scope but I hate second focal plane) 700-791 fps with either cphp, hades or jsb 15 grain. 45 shots on a fill(1800 down to 1100). Stock 177 disco spring. Stock trigger. Will get an aoa hdd.
I'm going to start messing with hammer mass, travel, spring rates and spring lengths. Might make a tail cap with power adjuster that allows you to remove the springs without disassembly of the gun.
Went from fx to discos in reverse. They're just a simply joy and punch way above their weight for the price.

Low power short Disco, more than ample for my 25-yard home range.
HS is a .038” MAP.
I haven’t really tuned it yet; don’t have a chrono and can’t afford 1
It’s very accurate though with its Lothar barrel.

May I suggest an optical "airsoft or paintball" chrono off Amazon. They're 30 dollars or less. I use one when I need to do a quick confirmation shot Into my lawn. I use a fx radar when I have range.Low power short Disco, more than ample for my 25-yard home range.

This is a .257 converted using a Boyd’s ATone stock, Cothran powerhouse valve plus more of Cothran goodies. Good for 150 fpe . Not much of a shot count on the stock disco tube.
I have since reinstalled 6-24x 50 FFP discovery scope.

The top one I'm going to attempt something crazy. Spraying camo with wood dye stain and an air brush and blending. Since I do dye stain all the time at work. If it sucks I sand it down and do dark walnut. You'll see the wood thru the camo still. Either that or I'm going to laminate a stock out of exotic hardwoods and machine it all and inlet it. Pic was taken in my woodshop
