Hey all, looking to quiet the bark and/or possibly do other mods to my new 880. I understand a forum member used to make the LDC’s for the 880, but no longer does. Does anyone else make or sell something to quiet the thing down a little? Thanks a lot,Dan

Thanks a lot,DanBuck Rail used to make them but no longer does (maybe concerned about trouble from the "AFT"). However, you can make your own if you have a 3D printer: https://buck-rail.com/suppressors/
I just started selling my model in the hobbiest classifieds. I made a coupon code "EarlyAdopter" for $5 off, it's only valid for the first 5 buyers though.In the design process I found I had to balance making the gun quieter with accuracy (and production speed), so I wound up with a design that muffles the sound enough for me to shoot 10 pumps in my yard and doesn't result in larger groups.
If you can find an adapter for the 880 that ends with male 1/2"-20 unf threads, then most available silencers can be easily spun on.
Is this the one featured on "Oh Shoot's" You tube Video? Looks to be decent!
I think I was the first customer lol.

I ordered one and it’ll be here tomorrow. I think I was the first customer lol.

I think there might be a good reason most places stopped making 880 suppressors. Just not enough demand, and hard to find a price that makes sense for both parties when it's a $36 gun.It is fun though. My fiancé was on night rotation this week, I used the opportunity to do some night ratting out of our bedroom window. Even at 10 pumps the noise is softer than the acorns falling on the yard sheds (which is actually pretty loud) so I was able to be discrete. I need to get a proper noise meter so I can run some tests.

I think I was the first customer lol.In that case I eagerly look forward to your review.I have found that an LDC which works well in one gun can be completely displaced and out-silenced by an “inferior” LDC on another gun. And shrouded vs bare barrel guns can yield yet another set of dB readings entirely.You need to find the right LDC for the specific gun you shoot through it, many times results can surprise.For example a large, Neil Clague custom built 50fpe unit can be Louder than a smaller unit on different guns, but tested on that big 50fpe gun that Neil designed it for, I would wager it is finally quieter than the “inferior” unit.Then soundmeter test those two units on exactly the same gun, but on a different day in different weather conditions, and the dB meter readings will change yet again.Even changing the ammo and the results can change Again, as well as simply firing a gun Without ammo - you’ll get different readings Yet again. Lots of variables, which is why my next (and final) test of a variety of new silencers will likely have different loudest/softest units even once more.Looking forward to reading all about your findings on the Mantis880 unit arriving tomorrow.👍🏼
