The Czech company AirMaks Arms has in recent years focused on refining their proven products, and this time we can introduce this beautiful model, the AirMaks Katran with fixed laminate stock (version W).
The laminate stock gives the Katran a unique look and above all fits the hand perfectly. In addition, it is equipped with a height-adjustable ambidextrous cheekpiece and a rubber butt pad.
All other components of the air rifle remain unchanged – after all, why change something that works. And the Katran really does work very well.
The highly accurate rifled barrel is shrouded along its entire length, which also reinforces it and slightly reduces noise when firing. At its end there is a cup-type sound moderator composed of 3 segments. For installation of an additional sound moderator, the last cup is fitted with a standard 1/2UNFx20 thread.
A pressure regulator helps to maintain a consistent velocity of the pellets by allowing only a predetermined amount of air through, thereby eliminating the drop in power as the pressure in the cartridge decreases.
Equally well thought-out is the loading system, which has an incredibly smooth and easy operation. The side lever is located just above the trigger, so you can cycle it with one finger in a flash, and it can also be easily switched to the other side. The protection against loading two pellets at once will also be appreciated.
The robust aluminium forend of the air rifle is fitted with KeyMod slots for installing a bipod, the manual safety is located above the fully adjustable trigger, and a metal 22 mm rail with a 20 MOA incline is used for mounting a scope, making it easier to set up the scope for long-range shooting.
