AirMaks Katran — Regulated PCP Air Rifle

AirMaks Katran Review — Precision Engineering from the Czech Republic

The AirMaks Katran is a regulated pre-charged pneumatic air rifle built around a lightweight aluminium folding stock and a CZ precision barrel . Available in four barrel lengths — Sub-Compact (694mm), Compact (775mm), Standard (910mm), and Long (1030mm) — the Katran suits shooters from dedicated hunters to benchrest competitors . The rifle features an easy-cocking side lever that switches between right and left sides, a two-stage externally adjustable trigger, and an anti-double feed system for reliable operation . An ergonomic AR15-style grip and adjustable butt-pad and cheek-piece let you customise the fit for perfect shouldering . For shooters who demand accuracy and adjustability in a lightweight package, the Katran delivers.

AirMaks Katran Price — Models and Variants

The AirMaks Katran price varies significantly by model and stock choice. The Sub-Compact model is the entry point, while the Standard and Compact models sit at a mid-range price point . The Katran Pro series commands a premium, featuring an Arca rail with M-LOK accessory slots and Cerakote finish options in Black or Olive . Walnut and laminate stock options add to the base price . Second-hand Katran rifles are available at reduced prices from private sellers, with owners often including accessories like silencers, extra magazines, and hard cases .

AirMaks Katran Accuracy — CZ Barrel Performance

The CZ barrel with a 1:17.7 twist rate is the heart of the Katran’s accuracy . Forum owners report that the rifle is not pellet fussy, with many pellets producing excellent groups . JSB Exact 8.44 grain pellets (4.53mm head size) and H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 grain pellets are both proven performers . One owner achieved pellet-on-pellet groups indoors at 30 yards, while another produced tight 5-shot groups at 50 yards bench rested . The Katran prefers a lighter hold compared to heavier bullpup designs like the Vulcan 3 .

AirMaks Katran Problems — Honest Owner Feedback

The Katran has received constructive owner feedback on UK forums, with several common issues worth discussing. A new owner reported grouping problems that resolved completely when they removed the shroud, though no pellet clipping was visible . The shot count from a 250 bar fill was 73 shots, which other owners confirmed is about right for a .177 Sub-Compact given its 100cc air capacity . Some rifles arrive with the hammer spring adjusted high from the factory, requiring a chronograph to verify power output . One owner noted that the 4mm grub screw securing the barrel has a flat base designed to align with flats on the barrel — when reinstalling, this screw must be tightened first to square the barrel correctly .

AirMaks Katran Stock — Folding Design and Laminate Options

The Katran’s folding aluminium stock is one of its standout features . The design is surprisingly sturdy despite its slim, lightweight construction, and the adjustable butt-pad and cheek-piece let you dial in your fit perfectly . The stock folds compactly for transport, making the Katran ideal for hunters who move between permissions . Laminate stock options are available in red, blue, and forest finishes, adding a striking visual upgrade over the standard aluminium stock . The red laminate Sub-Compact model is particularly popular with collectors .
