3 new products are ready to ship! I’ve added a Benjamin Akela Suppressor, Benjamin Akela Tri-Rail, and finally got our new 1/2-20 adapters for 7/16ish (11mm) Crosman barrels. The Akela rail and Crosman adapters were both requested by a lot of folks. Thanks for your patience on the adapters. It was a trial getting those sourced at a good price. Depending on how much interest there is I may also make one with a front sight post. Check these all out in the links below!
Thank you for your support. I will keep saying it. I’m super grateful that I can do this full-time and will keep working hard to provide great stuff at great prices. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!
I’ve just dropped another suppressor. It’s much like the P-Rod suppressor, but larger. It has the same honeycomb pattern and is printed from the same super tough Polycarbonate. This one is compatible with 5 airguns that I know of. I’ve tested it on my Benjamin Fortitude and it works fantastically. It’s also compatible with the Benjamin Marauder Rifle, Benjamin Armada, Seneca Aspen, and the ATI Nova Freedom. From what I understand all of these airguns have a 7/8″ shroud with Female Right Hand 13/16-28 threads.
It’s finally here. A direct fit threaded suppressor for the Benjamin P-Rod that will not break the bank.
The Benjamin Marauder Pistol is our go-to airgun for backyard shooting lately. It’s been a lot of fun making new accessories for it and testing them out. Needless to say, my boys have been very willing helpers in this endeavor as well. So far, I’ve made a clamp-on accessory mount, adjustable stock, upgraded forearm, and now I’ve added another suppressor to the mix! Here are some of the details.
Let’s start with the guts. It’s pretty self-explanatory, I think. Take a look inside in the cross-section below:
For the outside, I’ve given it a honeycomb patterned finish. This does three things:
Hides surface imperfection common in 3d printed parts.
Adds texture for gripping with your hand during installation and removal.
Makes it look cool and unique, of course!
The suppressor is 3D printed by yours truly in my garage and outbuilding in the great state of Texas. The polymer used for this suppressor is high impact and high toughness Polycarbonate. The threads are chased with an 11/16-24 thread die for a consistent and precise fit. They tend to be on the tight side, so I recommend applying a PTFE or Silicone-based lubricant on the threads before installation.
This suppressor is compatible with .177 and .22 caliber. It should work for the Crosman 1720 as well, but I haven’t yet bought that airgun to test it out.
The past couple of weeks have been very eventful. We’ve received a lot of encouragement and kind words and business has been great. I’m really happy to be able to do this full-time and don’t take your support for granted. I’m excited to keep cranking out new products at great prices.
Next will be the M-Rod/Aspen/Fortitude/Armada Suppressor in .177/.22 and .25. Then the Akela Suppressor and Accessory Mount.
Hey folks. Just a quick update and recap of my first two weeks as a “free man”. First off, let me say that it hasn’t been what I expected. I should have expected that. Shipping is nightmarish, power is currently out as I type this, and I just got word that a new business has been started by someone who’s printing and selling our products. He’s even using the same pictures! It’s a crazy world we’re living in. But… Orders are flooding in, feedback has been outstanding, and I’ve received tons of encouragement from you, our awesome customers. Thank you! It’s been a humbling experience.
I haven’t taken your support for granted and I’m working hard to develop new products. Our Benjamin P-Rod Suppressor is coming out next. Then the AirForce Suppressor. I’ve designed an M-Rod suppressor, but I’m waiting for my Fortitude(because it’s cheaper) to come in so I can test it. I’ve also designed an Akela Suppressor and Tri-Rail, Avenger Suppressor, and Gauntlet Suppressor that will be coming down the line very soon as well.
I’ve gotten many requests and I intend to follow through on most of them, Deo Volente.
I’ve included the most important information in BOLD if you just want the cliff notes.
Our slip-on suppressor for the Crosman 22XX, 760, etc. has been our best-seller by far. They worked great, but I knew they could be better. So I went on a journey to improve them and ended up messing them up instead. The issue is that 3d printers are finnicky, or cheap ones are anyway, and I expected too much from them. I incorporated a few great features that required very precise and reliable printers, which I did not have. I guess that makes me the issue. Now that you’ve heard the backstory, I can share with you some good news and bad news.
The Good News
I recently just decided to buy a few better printers and use a tougher polymer, namely Polycarbonate. To get a more reliable and precise fit I now drill out each suppressor to final size before they ship out. This means the suppressors will be much tougher than before and the fit will be more consistent. We are, once again, selling slip-on suppressors with no front sight post.
The Bad News
I‘m not ready to sell the slip-ons with an integrated front sight post. Now that I drill out each suppressor for a reliable internal diameter I cannot include a flat clocking feature to align the front sight post. I have some options, but it’s going to take me some time to get it all worked out.
You’re welcome and I’m sorry. I’ll start fiddling with them again in January. For now, I’ll be focusing on whittling down my LONG list of customer suggestions. Check out the listing below for more info:
These have been in the works for a while now and they’re finally here. I’ve had a lot of fun with the P-Rod and 2240 stocks. They make for a great addition to both of those airguns, but these take the 13XX to a whole other level. The carbine pictured above is my lightly modified 1322. I’ve installed the adjustable stock, picatinny mounts, reflex sight, extended crosman barrel, our Plumper Pumper, custom 3d printed barrel band(coming soon), and slip-on suppressor. It’s been a blast “testing” this thing out.
This kit is much like the Crosman 2240 kit, but with a different adapter and slightly different buffer tube. You’ll not be able to use the stock iron sights with this stock installed. However, I’ll try out some different flip-up “iron” sights with our picatinny mounts to see if I can find a good option for folks who want the adjustable stock while still utilizing open sights.
First of all, we are now setup to run all of our printers at once without tripping a breaker. This means I can print more, faster.
Secondly, I just left my full-time job. They were trying to force me to vaccinate my chickens against swine flu. Obviously, I refused. As someone else surely has said, “my chickens, my choice.” This means I will be pursuing Buck-Railness full-time now.
Lastly, now that I have all these printers printing, and can devote more affection to them, I am happy to bring back the Daisy Powerline 415 and 426 Suppressors.
13XX Adjustable Stocks are finally in. I should have them listed in the next couple of days.
We have 100 more Crosman 1377/1322 Suppressors in stock. They’ve been selling great and the feedback has been very positive. I have incorporated recommendations from various customers that are win win I think. They are now bead blasted for a smoother texture, the front sight post is now 1/8″ higher, and the threads are chased with a thread die for greater consistency.
Okay y’all. You spoke and we listened. The Hawkeye reflex sights are back. We only have 100. 70 Picatinny and 30 Dovetails. We probably will not be able to get another batch in time for Christmas, so if you plan on getting one from us you’ll need to get it ASAP. You can check out the Hawkeye and bundled deals below:
I was going to call this Pontifications on Wormholes, and Other News, but pragmatism won the day. More on that later. I’ve been busy and have many irons in the fire. That’s not new. But the products of my BUSYness are new. So here that is. Enjoy!
Benjamin Marauder Pistol Forearm – A great customer suggested that I make some of these without the pressure gauge hole for folks who have added a regulator and removed the gauge block. Now you can choose to include or exclude the pressure gauge hole. Check that out HERE.
Benjamin Marauder Pistol Suppressor – I’ve worked up a tiny little suppressor for the Benjamin Marauder that threads directly into the barrel shroud. It’s the same diameter as the shroud and only about 4″, but makes a BIG difference. It has a honeycomb pattern on the exterior to hide layer lines and provides some grip for installation. It’ll be printed in Polycarbonate and ridiculously cheap. No adapter, no interference with filling, low price, small package, and BIG reduction in noise. More to come on that soon!
Crosman 2240 Suppressor – I’ve been getting so many emails about these. The simple truth is that I broke them and now I’m struggling to fix them. I’ve gotten rid of the printers that printed them most reliably and decided at the same time to take it down and make some improvements. Thicker walls, moved the front sight post to the front, added set screw, etc. Now everything I try causes some other issue and now I cant even print the originals without issue. This is our number one seller, so believe me, I’m working on it, but have no ETA for when they’ll be available. That’s the bad news, but here’s the good news…
Crosman 1/2-20 UNF Adapter – I’m working on a 1/2-20 UNF adapter for the Crosman 7/16″ish barrel. That may right my wrong with the 2240 suppressors. It’ll be machined from 4140 steel, Black Oxide finish, and have 2 set screws to secure it to the barrel. I’ve already ordered them in bulk, but I’m taking a chance on the tolerance for the muzzle hole diameter. I have a bunch of Crosman barrels and will test them out on those, but could end up scrapping a whole lot of them and going back to the drawing board. If you know the tolerance on the barrel outside diameter let me know!
1/2-20 UNF Suppressors – A few customers suggested making these suppressors compatible with .25 caliber as well. I’ve listened and added an option to select either .177/.22 Caliber or .25 Caliber at checkout. I don’t yet have a .25 Caliber airgun with 1/2-20 UNF threads to test it on so bear with me if you purchase one and aren’t satisfied. There’s no need to immediately go tell the world that Buck-Rail ruined your life and you’ll never know happiness again. Just let me know the issue and I’ll take care of it. Check that out HERE.
AirForce TalonP Suppressor – Some of you may have noticed a suppressor on my TalonP in a blog post I did a while back. That was when I “permanently” stopped selling suppressors temporarily… Now that I’ve “temporarily” resumed selling suppressors permanently I have been getting them ready for selling to the masses. Out of all the products I’ve designed and sold, the AirForce Grip and Forearm have done the worst. In fact, I sold 1 set! Thank you Kevin… I know that will change with time because they’re awesome and the right folks probably just don’t know about them yet. So I’m going out on a limb and adding a suppressor to the mix as well. I’ve been using mine for a while and it has been great.
Daisy 880 Suppressor Kit– One thing that has been surprisingly popular is our suppressor for the Daisy 880. I’ve relisted them with some minor improvements. The print quality is improved and the suppressor is now smaller in diameter with the same report suppression and functionality. Check that out HERE.
Crosman Picatinny and Dovetail Scope Mounts – I’ve made some minor improvements to these scope mounts. I’ve dropped their height slightly and decreased their length so that two of them together make up the distance from front to back of one of our Red Dots… It’s always bothered me that they stick out a little bit from the Red Dots and never thought to change it! (More on the Red Dots in a bit.) Also, they no longer have the interlocking feature in the middle seam. Now they are flat. This allows for more adjustability and the ability to shim them if necessary. I’ve also changed the geometry of the groove to allow for square crossbars to go through without interference. These are really only necessary on firearms with heavy recoil. I will post updated pictures of all that soon. Check those out HERE.
Hawkeye Reflex Sights – I did not intend on restocking these because prices get higher every time I order them. I figured folks would just go over to Amazon, etc. and get them there instead. I’m sure that has happened some, but many folks have voiced that they’d rather buy the Scope Mounts and Red Dot together from us. I did not anticipate that, but certainly appreciate that. They are on order and I’m hoping to have them in stock by the end of the month. Check out the mount and red dot bundle HERE.
Crosman 1377/1322 Adjustable Stock Kit – Our Benjamin Marauder and Crosman 2240 Adjustable Stock Kits have done great. I started to work on the details of the 13XX Stock at the same time as those, then got busy and completely forgot about them. Luckily, a customer reminded me about them so I got back at it and now have the steel machined adapters on order. I should be able to get those listed for sale by the end of the month.
In Other News – I have a lot of 3d printers. 3d printing is very slow. So I need a lot of them to keep up. We’re at 22 and counting. Though they don’t use a lot of power, 22 of them running simultaneously certainly does. These are all in a very small space behind my home. You could say it is very dense. In fact, I’m afraid that if I add much more to that small space I may tear a hole in the space-time continuum and be sucked into a place of utter darkness. Seriously though, I can’t draw anymore power. My cousin is an electrician and is going to help me with that. But, if buck-rail suddenly goes dark you’ll be the first to know why…
