Hi folks. Been lurking around for a long time but haven't had much to say since I joined. Well, I have the .177 Discovery and after playing with it a bit off and on for about 5 years now, I find I really like it. Its plenty powerful, very accurate, light weight and easy to handle. Recently, my boys are showing more interest in learning so I have been doing some net reading on modding the gun for more accuracy and power, just because I can and because I have been messing around with it more. (I tend to tinker) I am specifically interested in having a better trigger without spending too much and doing the power adjuster mod..curious what you all think might be the best way to do the adjuster without buying an expensive kit? Same with the trigger..Economics is paramount because I am currently unemployed and have more time than money Evil or Very Mad

My first post was concerning high pressure air tanks for my gun and I got what I thought was good info just not what I wanted to hear. Basically that air tanks and assorted fittings and adapters wpould be about $200 or more. I am curious if this info has changed in 5 years or do we now have more stuff available than in 2009? I would like to find a tank similar to the Tipmann 48/3000 in size and capacity but that would output closer to the Discovery's rated pressure...can this be done cheaper than hundreds? How? Thanks for any responses.

Basically no, not much has changed in terms of price.... There is more variety, and you can get a decent PCP fill system for about $300, consisting of a 90 CI Carbon Fibre 4500 psi tank regulated to 2000 psi (for the Disco) c/w the fill station from Ninja....

Bob, thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that but I guess I'll just have to be patient and hold out for a good deal on a used tank and pieces. If not, I won't sweat it. Nice website and location Bob, I have been through Yukon and BC a few times coming into and out of Alaska and we really enjoy Canada. We came up through in 2009 last and visited and fished at a few lakes along the way. Beautiful country.

As for trigger modifications, the Discovery used the same trigger setup as the Crosman 2260- so any mods for it will also work on the Discovery. Use a velocity adjuster from a Challenger PCP rifle (model CH2009)- you should be able to find one for under $30.00 and it will fit the Discovery.
