just ordered one, so cannot speak to how effective they are or are not. i'm sure they'll be fine on lower powered pcp:

new(?) $20 3d printed silencer form buck-rail
- Thread starter sticman77
- Start date
Well, I bought two 3-D printed silencers from Buck Rail, one for my Crosman 1322 and one for my Crosman 1377. Each one came in two pieces, something to fit onto the end of the barrel, and then the silencer, which screwed onto the piece on the barrel. It sure looked good to me. BUT IT WASN'T.
Neither was a good fit (both were too tight), but the one for the 1377 was flat out awful. I had installed the one for my 1322 first and used the palm of my hand to press it on. And thought all was going to be good and it seemed to work well, for a while. I'll get to that later.
But the one (both silencers are the same) for the 1377 was an awful fit, Against my better judgement, I used a rubber hammer to lightly tap it fully into place on the end of the 1377's barrel. But in doing that, the barrel must have shaved up a piece of the silencer's plastic inside (I could see it, later) and the 1377 never shot accurately again - didn't even hit the target, from about 7 yards away. And It was the dickens to get it back off. Well, shortly thereafter I went to shoot the 1322 and nothing came out. Somehow the 3-D printed silencer had interfered with that gun's pellet, too.
So, I have removed both of the 3-D printed silencers and the guns are "stock" again and shooting well. Getting the thing off the end of the 1322's barrel was no problem, but getting the one off the 1377 was a pain. I ended up removing the barrel so I could get some leverage, used my heat gun and eventually got it back off. What seemed like a good idea at the time didn't turn out to be. Both 3-D printed silencers are in the trash can, now. I'm gonna just leave the two pistols as they are.

thanks for the insight bltefft. they seem to have a decent reputation on the other forum. i'll report back here when ive used it. its going on a 1377 with 14 inch barrel with a unf adapter.
if you are looking for other slip on options, the TKO slip on worked well on my 1377 without any accuracy issues.

I emailed the maker, he was great.
I have no complaint against Terry Harman. He read my email, apologized and gave me a full refund. I do think he has a good idea with his 3-D printer products and am sorry that the ones he made for my Crosman Pistols didn't work.
And with his customer service, and willingness to make things right, wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

the one i got sent to me works great. very quiet, accuracy unaffected. a little larger than expected, but very very quiet. metal thread inserts work great. looks 3d printed.
will definitely buy a couple once they are back up

Got mine today. Fast shipping!
Just went to put them on to a gun laying on the table with a 1/2 UNF thread. One wouldn't thread on. The other went on fine (although these silencers have what is similar to a Heli-Coil inside, so they aren't true threads and therefore work but don't feel as nice as a truly threaded part would on installation. Nature of the chosen design).
Anyway, I looked at them side-by-side and the difference was obvious. The one on the right side in the photo was the one which would not thread onto the gun:
A little poking with a screwdriver and the end of the coil insert was in a better position, and both now screwed onto the gun.
Did they come this way? Did I cause the end of the coil to pop out of position when I first tried to install it? Don't know, but a simple fix and something to look for if yours doesn't fit your muzzle threads right away.
Now to test them for sound suppression...
