New Products

Howdy folks. It’s been a bit since I talked at y’all. I’m still at it and have a lot of good stuff in the works. First off, I’m happy to announce that we are now selling and shipping DonnyFL suppressor adapters. We currently have six models on offer, but will likely supply whatever folks are requesting. If you’re already here to buy a suppressor, you might as well get the adapter from the same place all in one go. Also, If you buy the suppressor and adapter together, you get a discount. If you buy the adapter alone, you don’t get a discount, but you get free shipping. If none of those things appeal to you then go right ahead and get them from Donny. They’re a great American company and you won’t regret it either way. This is more of a convenience to our customers. Here’s what we’re starting with: Akela/Kratos, Kral Puncher Breaker, Marauder Rifle, Armada, Fortitude, Marauder Pistol, Avenger/Origin, Gauntlet, and Beeman Underlever. I chose these, because we already sell a lot of direct fit suppressors for these airguns. I will likely be discontinuing much of our direct fit suppressors to make room for other products that I’m working on and free up printers to work on other things.

Beeman 2027 Side Folders

I’ve made some changes to our Beeman 2027 grip adapter to improve the fit and function of the Poor Man’s Side Folder on that platform. The rear pic rail has been moved further rearward so that you can turn the Side Folder upside-down, clear the bolt, and get the hinge pin off of your hand/wrist. I should have done this before, but it simply didn’t occur to me until we started getting some complaints. An advantage of getting the side folder over the fixed stock is the ability to make adjustments to the hammer spring on the fly. Just fold the stock over, make your adjustment, and fold it back. If you mount our Micro Red Dot on it you can co-witness with the tall front sight post. It helps a lot with accuracy and developing a consistent cheek weld. I’m having a lot of fun with this platform.As you can see below, we’ve also added an M-Lok Handguard option for the Beeman 2027.

Marauder Pistol Side Folder

I’ve made a similar change to the Benjamin Marauder Pistol adapter. I’ve extended it rearward to clear the bolt as well. You can see what I mean in the picture below:

Like I said, I should have done this originally, but I didn’t. Sorry about that. If you own one of these in the older model I’ll be happy to replace it. Just reach out to Chris and he’ll get you fixed up with a replacement. Just be patient with us while I try to print enough for everyone who takes me up on it!

Other Projects

A long time customer suggested that we offer a fixed minimalist stock for the 13XX. I have working prototypes for the Marauder Pistol, Crosman 13XX, 2240, Diana Airbug, Bandit, and Chaser, and have one in the works for the Beeman 2027. In order to get an adult LOP they need to be longer than most of my printers can print. The printers that I print the Stormrider and Avenger Handguards on are working 24/7 to keep up with Avenger kits. I’ll need to get more of those printers setup, which means I need more power, which means it may be a bit, but I’m on it and it’s going to happen. I’m thinking I’ll provide two different buttpads to suit different preferences. Below is the prototype for the PRod.

Tactical Conversion Kits

A lot. Too many to say. I’ll get myself in trouble if I told you all the airguns I’m planning on tackling. Just know that I’m working on it and there will be a lot of news to come on those.

Suppressors

As I said earlier, I’ll likely discontinue many of our direct fit suppressors, but I plan on replacing them with affordable options that can be manufactured more reliably. I have it mind to take the same approach I took with our Crosman 13XX suppressor. Very tough MJF Nylon adapters with a common full polymer suppressor. I would work with another manufacturer to make the many polymer adapters and I’ll just focus on the all polymer suppressor. I’m experimenting with Quick Disconnect threads and it’s looking very promising. None of these ideas are new, but there’s certainly nothing like it widely available on the market. I’ll be posting casual updates on Facebook and Instagram as I make progress on those.

That’s all I have for now folks. Thank you for your business and thank you for your support. I love what I do and will keep working hard at making great products at great prices for great customers!

Sincerely,

Terry Harman

Upgraded Diana Stock Tubes

I forgot about these until they arrived on my doorstep! The Diana Chaser, Bandit, and Airbug Stock Tubes have been upgraded! There is now no sanding required. It is much like our 13XX and 2240 stock tubes with a machined steel adapter, steel bolt, and printed tube. I just threw the old ones out. All orders that are shipped from now on will be shipped with the new tubes.

I’m sorry about the poor quality video. I rushed it out so I could get these to you before I go back to work!

If you’d like to upgrade from the old stock tube use coupon code DIANAUPGRADE for a 50% discount. This is only going out to our subscribers and this just to cover our costs. The coupon code will expire on Saturday, 12/24/2022!

Thank you!

UNF Suppressors, Avengers, 13XX, M-Loks, and Babies…

Howdy folks. It’s been a little while. I’ve done a few things since last I typed at you and have many projects in the works. I’ll tell you all about it. But first, let me break some baddish news. I’m going back to work. I’m a Machinist/Designer at Jacobs Technology in support of the JSC Engineering Technology and Science contract. But I’m only a temp. They reach out when they have extra work and I have the time. They recently reached out for help on a cool project, but it would be full time until February or March 2023. It’s a really cool job, but I don’t have the time. And my wife will be due for baby number SIX in April. I always overwork when we’re about to have a baby. I think that’s normal… Right? So anyway, I said “Yes….”

What does this mean for Buck Rail, you ask? Buck Rail will keep truckin’. We’re full steam ahead. My brother, Danny will keep the printers running and shelves stocked, my sister, Julie, will keep fulfilling orders with blazing speed, and my friend, Chris, will continue to be available for anything customer service related. However, I’ll stop making new products for a bit. As much as I love it, that will have to wait until I finish things out with Jacobs next year. Then we’ll see what happens with a brand new baby.

I have been busy designing new products. I will work at releasing them little by little in the coming weeks. I’ve already released two today.

UNF Suppressors

The first is a new option for our UNF suppressors. You can now choose a larger diameter 177/22 or 25 cal suppressor without the taper. Nothing special, but this has been a frequent request from our customers. It is the same diameter and length as our 30 cal suppressor.

1377/1322 Extended Barrel Bands

Another product that I’ve made for a while, but never sold is an extended barrel band for the Crosman 1377 and 1322. Quite a few customers have asked for this and I have sent them here and there without ever listing them. I never felt to good about selling them because they were so easy to break during installation. It never occurred to me until recently to have another company make it stronger with state-of-the-art technology that I don’t currently, otherwise, have access to. Enter Multi Jet Fusion. It’s as cool as it sounds. I’m not going to explain it here. You can google it. That’s how these are made. Made in Idaho, USA from tough Nylon PA12 via Multi Jet Fusion. The same material and process that is used to make our 13XX suppressor adapter. We only have 20 in stock, but we have more on order. Check out the Barrel Band here: https://buck-rail.com/product/1377-1322-extended-barrel-band/

Avenger Tactical Conversion

I have other items that have been designed and tested, but I’m working on getting enough printed to release them. One that has been in the works for a while is the Air Venturi Avenger Tactical Conversion. I’m sorry it’s taken so long, but I’m finally done with the design. Just need to dial in the prints and get a few parts in. Coming soon…

M-Lok Handguards

I’ve gotten a lot of requests for adding M-Lok slots to forearms, rails, etc. I was hesitant only because I didn’t expect 3d printed M-Lok slots to hold up under load. But I’ve done some testing and the results are fantastic. I want to put M-Loks on everything now. It allows for so much more customization, provides for a more comfortable handhold, and they look slick! Check out these prototypes for the Stormrider, Chaser, Bandit etc.

A few more noteworthy points. We will be in a feature article in Airgun World Magazine soon for our Beeman 2027 Tactical Conversion kit. Pretty cool. Keep a lookout for that. Also, we fulfilled 95 orders today! I never imagined that we would be at this point when I started all this. Especially all out of our little house and garage! I know, Lord willing, we have much more growing to do yet. Thank you for your support and thank you for your business! I don’t take it for granted. Until next time, we’ll be working hard to provide great airgun products at great prices.

Here it is folks. The Diana Stormrider Tactical Conversion Kit. Check it out HERE

If the video does show up properly you can follow this link to watch it on the YouTube: Diana Stormrider Tactical Conversion

I apologize for the brief post folks. I’m working hard to keep up while still cranking out new products. These take a long time to print. If they go out of stock it should only be a day or so before I have more on the shelf! Next will be the ICON Tactical Conversion Kit. Stay tuned for that!

Thank you for your support and thank you for the opportunity to serve you!

New Products, Promo, and Updates

Hey there folks. A lot going on at Buck Rail lately. Here’s the highlight reel…

Air Venturi Avenger

Avenger Barrel Bands are out and I’m giving a few away. Use code FIRST20 at checkout to get one for free. Only the first 20 customers can use it. Limit one per customer. Check those out here: Avenger Barrel Band. Let me know what y’all think!

Benjamin Akela

Akela/Kratos suppressors are back in stock. I’ve increased the outside diameter some and tightened up the baffle inner diameter. Also, I’ve added a scope rail support for the Akela. This has been a common request from customers and it worked out nicely. Check that out here: Akela Scope Rail Support

Canada

We stopped shipping to Canada a while back. Canadian customs kept holding packages for “closer inspection” and it became impractical for our small business to absorb that. Wes at AirgunArcheryFun.ca will be selling our Diana AR Conversion Kits within Canada. Wes is a great guy to do business with. I’ve bought quite a few things from him myself and it was all top notch with great service to boot. If you’d like to see any of our other products (sorry, no suppressors) available in Canada reach out to Wes and let him know!

Beeman 2027 Work In Progress

I’m working on a tactical conversion for the Beeman 2027. This PCP pistol is a lot of fun, feature rich, and solid for the price. The stock is purdy, but a bit clunky and… well… YUGE. Seriously, you have no idea how big this thing is from the pictures.

There’s a lot of work to be done, yet. But I am super excited about what I have so far. The grip and rail are done, but I have a lot more work to do on the stock. I need to make the side folder mechanism (it will fold to the right), add an adjustable stock, and figure out how to keep the price low. Check out the progress:

If I work up a reasonably priced and effective side folder I will make an adapter for the 13XX, 2240, and Dianas as well. Please be patient with me while I work out the details. I don’t have a release date, but will announce it here when that day comes.

Sig MCX and MPX

I made suppressors for the MCX and MPX, but they don’t work worth a dang. I would be embarrassed to sell them. That’s all I got on that…

Umarex Gauntlet

Another customer request has been to make the Gauntlet suppressor constrain the barrel. I’m about done with that and will have those available sometime soon. I plan on working up a few Gauntlet Barrel bands as well.

Reviews

In our early days, my kids would draw pictures on “thank you” notes for every customer. I’m sure many of you remember this. That was back when we sold three products and this business was only an experiment and homeschool lesson for my two oldest kiddos. On the flipside, many of you have sent pictures to me. I’ve gotten pictures of dad’s shooting with their kids, tricked out airguns, I even got a picture of a Mandalorian Red Ryder conversion that included some of our parts. I’ve also received pictures, as evidence, of my failures as a designer, 3d printer, and a human in general (i.e. malignent mounts, repugnant rails, slanted suppressors, etc.). Sometimes pictures say it better than words. I’ve added an option to attach pictures to your reviews and plan on making it easier for you to share your pictures on the website. Stay tuned for more on that. In the meantime, if you feel so inclined, leave a review with a picture!

I have a mile long list of suggestions and I’m chipping away day by day. We’re working hard to be worthy of your business! Thank you for your patronage and for the opportunity to serve you!
