I have the Airmaks Katran in 22. Fac. Factory set at 40J. Shoots JSB and H&N under half an inch at 50 mtr. Love the trigger, its easy to set and just great. And it prefers the lighter pellets. Did measure the hammerspring adjuster before trying to get it ‘better’🤓 its now back to factory setting😀. Have an very early one. Did buy the wood. Blue. But that, while very nice and well made, is to slippery and to small for me…have now an Ergo DLX-Tactical Grip on it. Have a Helix on it. Love it. Am now saving for an Katran C , the same you have there in 177 and in 12 ftp. And with an single shot adapter. Wanna use it for HFT. Think about putting a Connect scope on it. Gonna try the old and stif geezer style….👨🏽🦯👨🏽🦯 standing with a shooting stick. 🤗
Thanks, I have that problem with most of the AR style grips, they seem to make them all 2 sizes too small, didn't find it that slippery but I only shot it for an hour or so, ERGo grips for me as well, just fit right. Good luck they shoulder really nice should be fantastic for HFT, Thanks for watching.
Planning to order 1 of this next week, but just can't decide between bottle or cylinder, cylinder looks nicer and looks like might balance bit better too but not sure what shot count difference is like? thinking of going with compact one currently
Thanks for another good video, looks like a well made PCP was thinking about getting a agt vixen in the short version, now I'm changing my mind after watching this maybe you could borrow a vixen for a review.Thanks again
The Vixen and this rifle are very similar, they have the same designer, just a different pressure/valve system. They are both nice rifles but for my money I prefer the Katran, another fella has a vixen at the range and I am just not a fan of the bottle at the back, it makes the rifle a little awkward to hold. Thanks for watching.
Very nice rifle Jake (I saw, and handled it at the range this past weekend) I agree, very nice design, and looks very well put together. Excellent review, and technical breakdown as usual 👍
Sir jake. May I ask do I need to take of the hammer spring or empty the air? Before taking out the air cylinder? Need to wrap the air cylinder to prevent scratches.. thanks.
Two different fastenings is for security. I expect they supply the needed hex keys for the simple adjustments but not the torx keys thus relieving the manufacturer responsibility of average Joe digging in sensitive areas. If Joe gets a torx from his toolbox then that's on him.
My money would be on the Katran, spend the left over money on a good scope, they serve similar roles, but because I don't hunt the Katran is better suited to my style of shooting. Thanks for watching.
Hi me again. Was thinking if you threaded the fx liner and pulled it tight between the breach end and muzzle with special made nuts would this not keep it stiff and stop vibration and you would not need a carbon liner. Think this would in prove accuracy. Just a thought you might try. Love videos keep up the good work.
Had a very similar idea a few years back, what I did was thread both ends of an FX liner, one end screwed into the steel joiner piece this was secured in place, then with the use of a carbon fiber tube i used another nut on the muzzle end compressing on the end of the carbon fiber tube, this tensioned the liner, and worked well, it eliminated point of aim shift and the rifle was very accurate, the downside was because of the thread, the liner was not pulled perfectly straight but off on a very slight angle, this meant moderator clipping and I used up most of the windage adjustment on the scope, I do have another idea and a solution that I am very keen to try but we just have on had time to try it out yet, what ill do is show the threaded liner when we get back onto the barrels. The videos are coming I just want to give a fair and accurate assessment of what the barrels are like and how they perform. Thanks for watching.
Hiya bud iv watched your videos now for a while and I think your knowledge is great is there anywhere other than in the comments on your videos I could pick your brains on afew things to do with air rifles
This one is not my rifle so I couldn't do much shooting with it but it was very accurate, easy 5p groups at 50 yards, a little pellet fussy but it liked heavy's and H&N FT pellets, we might be getting one in the near future so we will do a range test then. Thanks for watching.
fantastic looking rifle,Another excellent informative video.
Keep the good work up guys👍🏼
Thanks Jeff, very interesting vid and what looks like quite a tasty air rifle. 👍
Really nice, lots of interesting stuff coming out recently, Thanks for watching.
Looks a nice bit of kit buddy 👍🏽 Cheers 😊

Great video as always Jake, good looking rifle as well.
Thanks, nice little rifle this one. Thanks for watching.
Very nice work. Really enjoyed the video. That rifle is definitely on my wishlist
A great overview there Jake, it might make it on to my wish list too .....
A really nice little rifle, lots of cool stuff coming out of Europe recently, I quite fancy the Caiman myself.
Nice one Jake, yet another interesting watch and informative too
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching.
you're awesome at explaining things, absolutely love your channel, thank you!
No problem, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
That's a nice looking rifle. Thanks for sharing. 😁

Great video yet again Jake
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for watching phil.
Excellent video as always. 🎯🇺🇸

They just keep coming😋
trying to keep them coming, Thanks for watching.
A great piece of information.Very informative. Thanks for sharing. 💐
No problem, Thanks for watching
Torx and metric allen bolts are fine......where are the imperials :-) Another good video, and I agree that its a really nice rifle.
The internal design (hammer ect) seems excellent.
Overall I'm impressed.
Very nice rifle Jake (I saw, and handled it at the range this past weekend) I agree, very nice design, and looks very well put together. Excellent review, and technical breakdown as usual 👍
Thanks Tony, yeah its a little beaut. Thanks for watching.
Sir jake. May I ask do I need to take of the hammer spring or empty the air? Before taking out the air cylinder? Need to wrap the air cylinder to prevent scratches.. thanks.
Per svitare la vite piccola della regolazione di potenza usi una allen key 2. 5mm?
Great review. To the point and informative. That is a lot of work so swap the cocking lever. On their Caiman its is much easier.
Two different fastenings is for security.

If Joe gets a torx from his toolbox then that's on him.
Nice vids 👌 am deciding between this and leshiy 2
Would you recommend one over the other since you have had experience of both rifles
My money would be on the Katran, spend the left over money on a good scope, they serve similar roles, but because I don't hunt the Katran is better suited to my style of shooting. Thanks for watching.

@@sub12airgunners my idea was to pull it between the steel outer barrel think this will keep everything I line
Hiya bud iv watched your videos now for a while and I think your knowledge is great is there anywhere other than in the comments on your videos I could pick your brains on afew things to do with air rifles
Thank you for the video👍👍👍
Very nice what scope is on the rifle please

Thanks for the reply 👍
Where did you get the hex screwdrivers?

Come and listen it's really cool
Will you be doing a range test on the Katran

Could. Nt catch who's selling these in the UK.. Cheers...

@@dgg7377 that's it , Crawley Surplus Store👌 one of the best shops in the UK IMO
As the others said Crawley surplus store, one of the best air rifle shops in the south. Thanks for watching.

What mod do you recommend mate?
the weihrauch mods are very good and work a treat on the katran 👍
What about a SAK?
I've got the new weihrauch sound mod on my sub 12 katran but got to say not that impressed..@@sub12airgunners
Please disassembly all part katran cb
Looks extremely expensive, im i right?
