AirMaks Katran is a lightweight PCP air rifle with folding aluminium buttstock. The CNC machined buttstock can be folded to the left side with just one press of the button and is held in place by a magnet. The cheek rest and buttpad are made from durable ABS polymer.
The action is simply amazing. You can cock the rifle with one finger and without having to take your eyes off the target. The side lever has incredibly smooth action and short travel. You have the option to take it off and attach it to the left side. This model is also outfitted with a mechanism that prevents double feeds.
The barrel is outfitted with a sound moderator. You can add more baffles to make it even more effective or use any sound moderator with the 1/2 UNFx20 thread.
The forearm with KeyMod slots is attached directly to the cylinder. This pushes the overall balance of the rifle slightly forward. The Picatinny rail will allow you to attach a scope.
The magazine has a capacity of sixteen pellets and the trigger is fully adjustable.
The grip offers great ergonomic properties. The manual safety is located on the left side of the body and you can even control it with the buttstock folded.
AirMaks Katran comes in a practical padded case.

MEET THE KATRAN
The Katran is a sidelever-cocking multi-shot PCP from Czech gunsmiths, Airmaks, supplied in a tough carry case. Overall layout is traditional, with the stock at the back and a carbon-fibre bottle making a nice forward handle. One quirk is the perforated alloy accessory sleeve between the action and the forward reservoir. The sidelever and its biathlon-style vertical bar can be swapped across left-to-right, as can the perfectly-sited, resettable AR-style safety catch. So, whether you’re a rightie or a leftie, the cocking lever and resettable safety are right there where you want them to be. The reverse side of the safety catch includes a slot, so you can easily tell the rifle’s cocked status, from each side.
There are several versions of the Katran available; compact, standard, or extended models, with conventional, slim air cylinders, or carbon-fibre buddy bottles (300cc or 480cc). Finish is immaculate throughout, with crisp, hard-anodised surfaces everywhere, including the 16-slot Picatinny scope rail and the tastefully fluted, chunky barrel shroud. The topical feature which drew all users straight to this particular model is its folding skeletal stock. This unlocks with the push of a sprung button on the left side beside the hinge, then once folded back against the left side of the trigger, it’s retained by a small magnet; perfect both for fiddle-free retention and release.
The Katran is a compact and accurate PCP air rifle.
