Czech company AirMaks Arms is becoming better known day by day on the airgun market thanks to its continuously expanding range of premium high‑performance airguns with a distinctive design.
This time they present another addition to the family of compact bullpups named Krait Tube 5.5mm Forest Lamino. The designation “Tube” means that instead of the usual rounded kevlar air cylinder, the air rifle is equipped with an elongated 200cc cylindrical air cylinder with a working pressure of up to 300 bar.
All other parts of the air rifle remain unchanged, such as the barrel shrouded along its entire length with a twist rate of 1/17, and at its end there is a classic 1/2x20 UNF thread for installing a sound moderator.
The Krait is equipped with two manometers that show the pressure in the air cylinder and in the externally adjustable pressure regulator. The icing on the cake is the Power Plenum with a capacity of 60cc.
Precise shooting is ensured by a fully adjustable two‑stage trigger, and directly above it is a manual safety, which can easily be relocated to the other side, just like the side lever with an extremely smooth action.
For mounting accessories, there are a total of 4 Picatinny rails. The rail for mounting a riflescope is inclined by 20 MOA for easier riflescope adjustment for long‑range shooting.
Comfortable shooting is provided by a solid metal stock with a height‑adjustable cheekpiece and a rubber buttpad that is adjustable in both height and length. Naturally, there is also a standardised AR-15 type grip, which can easily be replaced with another one.
