There are a few places to get "Air Strippers" and look alike muzzle breaks that are non functional. Though I would be careful about the term suppressor, even if prefaced with mock. |

Okay Thanks, I was wondering if it was a touchy subject on here. |

The terms "suppressor," "moderator," and "silencer" are a kind of Pandora's Box in the U.S. They are regulated federally (assuming your state even allows them). Being on an airgun doesn't matter - if they can be removed and placed on a firearm they are regulated. On the other hand, in some countries you would be rude to show up at the range without one.
By "mock" I take your meaning to be something more in the line of an air stripper or muzzle brake (alternately spelled "break"). While they don't perform the same function as on a firearm, they are not simply aesthetic. They protect the muzzle crown and (on some guns) help dampen barrel vibrations if positioned properly. On a break-barrel gun they can be something to grip and serve to protect blueing from erosion.
Do a Google search for "airgun muzzle brake" and I'm sure you'll find something. Or, make one yourself. In the photo (top to bottom) is a standard Crosman brake on a Titan, a scrap of aluminum on a Crosman 1008, a piece of steel pipe on a Mendoza RM577, a length of paintball barrel ion a Slavia 631, a bicycle seatpost on an Industry B3-2, and another scrap on a Crosman 2240.
