Diana Accessories Update

I had planned to put new product design on the back burner and focus more on the business side of Buck Rail in early 2022, but as soon as I started web-developing, spreadsheeting, and process planning I would get a new idea and then another… business fell by the wayside and I came up with another thingymajig and then another. We’re only 12 days in and I have already accepted defeat. I’m a designer first and a businessman second. Time will tell if that’s bad or good…

The Diana Chaser, Bandit, Airbug, and Stormrider have been a recurring theme in customer emails lately and for good reason. I’ve heard you and hope to deliver. I’ve added a Tri-Rail for the Chaser, Airbug, Bandit, etc. I’ve changed the dimensions slightly to provide a better fit and easier installation. Check those out here: Diana Barrel Band

I’ve bought a Stormrider, Airbug, and Bandit to confirm that it works well on those airguns as well and to see if I can come up with something for each of them. For starters, I’ve made a lot of progress on a replacement for the stock/grip on the Chaser, Bandit, and Airbug. I’ve designed and refined a part to convert the Diana Chaser, Airbug, and Bandit to an AR style grip:

So far, testing has been very promising. I’ve refined it a lot and am very close to releasing it. I’m also working on a forearm/tri-rail to accompany the new grip conversion:

Changing the stock allows you to access the hammer spring retention cap so that you can adapt an adjustable stock. I still have some work to do in order to make the buffer tube a tight fit. I’ll need to work with another manufacturer to make a steel or aluminum adapter for the buffer tube, but that should be pretty simple once I have the funds. Here’s a preview of the whole getup:

I’ve printed a bunch of the forearms and grip conversions. I’ve received all the hardware. I’ve ordered a bunch of Made in America grips. Once I receive all of those I will get the grip conversion and forearms listed at a great price. The adjustable stock conversion will come later!

Thanks for lookin’ y’all!

Crosman 13XX Plumper Pumper Update

I’ve added a honeycomb pattern to the Plumper Pumper to better match our new Crosman Grips. You can select from textured or smooth (no honeycomb) before placing in your cart. I’ve also thickened up the tabs closest to the trigger guard and changed the angle of the front of the handle to match the grip angle and to better hide the sheet metal pump arm. Check out one my latest builds with the Grip and Pump combo:

Also, I’m working on adding a polymer/wood composite pump handle and grip. If it works out you’ll be able to sand and stain it for a nice wood look at a fraction of the cost. If it doesn’t work out I’ll probably end up adding a matte desert tan pump and grip option. Here’s what the grips look like in matte desert tan:

I’m hoping to have good news to report on the wood/polymer composite grips and pump. I’ll post as soon as I have success or as soon as I give up and list the matte desert tan options. Stay tuned for that!

Thanks for lookin’ y’all!

Crosman 2240 Suppressor Update

The front sight post has come back. It learned a lot while it was away. We’ve reconciled our differences and found a compromise. I’ve let go of the indexing flat and he will no longer ruin one half of my prints as long as I put him at the very front of the suppressor and only print him on the 3d printers of his choosing.

The front sight post will need to be aligned manually now but it’s straighter, looks better, and works better. I’ve added the option to purchase the suppressor with or without the front sight post. You can find that here: 2240 Suppressor

Diana Airbug Suppressors

Just dropped the Diana Airbug suppressors. They are much like our 2240 slip-on suppressors. 3d printed in polycarbonate. Available with or without the front sight post. (I know, I know! I’ll be adding the front sight post to the 2240 again this week!) Check them out here: https://buck-rail.com/product/diana-airbug-suppressor/

More to come soon!

What A Year!

Merica!

Sending this from my phone. My dear wife just snapped this picture while her and the kids were watching fireworks from the backyard. Just want to say thank you for all the support and business. We’ve had to make some hard decisions this year and y’all made it a lot easier for us. We’re very grateful and do not take your business or support for granted. I’m working hard and looking forward to another crazy year! Lots of exciting stuff going on in that shed. Can’t wait to tell you about it. Or perhaps I should say, I’m very excited to tell you about it, when the time is right…

Happy New Year, y’all!

Crosman Grips Are Here and Other News

Our new grips for the Crosman airguns and PRod are finally here. They are simple and understated, but not to be underestimated. It took me a fortnight of fortnights, but now they look right and fit tight. They are solid and stolid and wont wriggle or giggle… outwardly. I may have gotten some brain-wires crossed in the making of these things.

Can you blame me?

They are compatible with the Crosman 1377, 1322, 2240, 2240XL, 2300, 1701, 1720, and Benjamin Marauder Pistol.

In other news, I’ve also released our Air Venturi Avenger Suppressors and Benjamin Sheridan Combo Scope Mounts. Check out all three in the links below.

Next product release will be the Crosman 2240 Forearms. I’m waiting on the hardware to come in before I list them.

Thanks for lookin’ y’all!

Coming Soon!

Coming Soon!

Our Crosman grips and 2240 forearms have been in the works for a while now and they’re almost here. I know they’ve been anticipated, because I’ve been inundated… with emails about them. The grips have been heavily iterated, opinionated, deliberated, and discriminated. The worst of the iterated were obliterated and eliminated. The best and most innovated of features were assimilated and integrated. I know grips can be subjective and debated. But I’m confident that these will be vindicated. Thank you if you participated! I’m sorry, I was inspired…ated.

Here’s a preview:

The forearm could include a picatinny rail, but it will likely be ugly and not quite allow for a comfortable grip. It can be done, and I have the model, so just say the word. But don’t dog on me for the ugliness. You’ve been warned. They will be very securely mounted with a screw securing it to the barrel band and the trigger guard. I’ll give more details on that later.

The grips are pretty plain. There’s no thumb shelf, ergonomical, anatomical, or uneconomical features. But I assure you. They will be comfortable, supportable, and affordable. I’ve added the honeycomb pattern(I know). Pretty soon I’ll add the honeycomb to our 13XX and 2240 suppressors and then the circle will be complete. Anywho, I’m so confident in these grips that I’ve incorporated my very own visage into the 3d prints. The exact imprint of my face will be on every grip as a sign of my confidence in the design and craftsmanship of each grip:

Coming very soon…

Merry Christmas and thanks for lookin’ y’all!

Umarex Gauntlet Suppressor

Sorry to blow up your mailbox. I’ve been busy. I’ll probably be radio silent for a bit closer to Christmas, through the New Year, and a while after that while I focus on the manufacturing side of things more than the design side. Anyway, I digress.

The Umarex Gauntlet suppressor is here. It’s printed in Polycarbonate, replaces the baffle clamshell thingamajiggy, and threads directly into the shroud. It works great, looks cool, and is cheap. What more could you ask for? Don’t answer that.

Here’s the cross-section for this one:

Check that out here: Umarex Gauntlet Suppressor

And for those who are still readin’. The ATF approved my Form 1 so that I can 3d print one silencer for my Hammerli TAC R1 rimfire .22. That is on the printer as I type this. I’d to make an interesting video on that early next year. Stay tuned.

Thanks for lookin’ y’all!

AirForce TalonP Suppressor

The Airforce TalonP suppressor is finally here. It is 3d printed in ABS. It’s a direct fit and does not require any adapter or hardware. It just replaces the stock shroud cap. It comes in either .177/.22 or .25 caliber. It’s a pretty straight-forward design. We’ve used this one more than any other suppressor before it’s release. My eldest son likes shooting big pellets at 3d printed targets so this .25 caliber airgun and suppressor has gotten a LOT of use. View the cross-section below:

You can see that there is an O-ring groove for installing the stock O-ring if you choose. I didn’t notice any difference with the O-ring installed, but it didn’t hurt to include this feature. Check out the listing here: TalonP Suppressor

The Pistol Grip and Forearm pictured above are also for sale. You can view those here: AirForce Grip and Forearm

The buttstock is not for sale. It needs a little love before I would feel good about selling it. It’s on my growing list…

Thanks for lookin’ y’all!

Crosman SBR, R1, AK1, A4-P Suppressor

Crosman SBR, R1, AK1, A4-P Suppressor

This will be a big week for new product drops from Buck-Rail. Our latest suppressor is an M14 X 1.00 Left Hand thread that was designed with some of the Crosman full-auto airguns in mind. It is 3D printed in Polycarbonate plastic and the threads are hand-tapped. Unlike our Chaser suppressor and 1/2 UNF suppressor there will be no stainless helical inserts. Check that out here: https://buck-rail.com/product/m14-x-1-00-left-hand-suppressor/

Also, I’ve relisted the M4-177 Suppressor kit with some improvements. I’ve changed the slot geometry to allow for accessories with square cross-bars and added a few more slots for greater mounting flexibility. I’ve also improved the print quality (that one guy really didn’t approve).

I’ve made this same change to the slot geometry on the Dr. Murfee mounts, Crosman mounts, and Chaser Barrel Bands. I’ll get the pictures updated soon. This week I will try hard to get the following items listed:

  • Umarex Gauntlet Suppressor in .177/.22 and .25 caliber
  • Air Venturi Avenger Suppressor in .177/.22 and .25 caliber
  • AirForce TalonP Suppressor in .177/.22 and .25 caliber
  • Benjamin Sheridan Picatinny/Dovetail combination mounts

What’s in the works? Too much to list. The hot items right now are grips for the Crosman 2240, 13XX, Marauder, etc. and a forearm for the 2240. I’ve completed the forearm design, but I need to test and source hardware for the installation. I’ve made a lot of grips, but I’m just not pleased with any of them. I’ll post on these when they’re done done!

I love my new vocation, I appreciate your support and encouragement, and I’m working hard to keep this thang moving!

Thanks for lookin’ y’all!
