    Gopher hunting in Montana highlights

    When I first moved up to kalispell area and heard them talking about gophers, I thought the same thing😂 the species is a Richardsons ground squirrel, to anyone wondering they are not a prarie dog or any version of a "squeak" or "whistlepig" like the ones just west in Idaho. Ton of fun walking...

    AirMaks Arms Airmaks Katran barrel swap

    Of course, it is very simple. I would have to take pics to show but not hard at all.

    AirMaks Arms Airmaks Katran barrel swap

    I do not understand why they say that, because you can simply adjust your regulator. I adjusted mine from the factory 120 bar, to about 145 bar very easily.

    AirMaks Arms Airmaks Katran barrel swap

    I own a katran compact in .22 and LOVE it. I also would like to know where parts could be sourced from. I would love to be able to switch mine to a 177 for plinking around.

    Tuning AirMaks Katran C Power Tuning, Initial Thoughts & Observations

    I never ended up messing with it, Instead I just upped the reg pressure to around 140-145 bar. This made the gun quieter with a nice snappy tone instead of a puff. Also, the power went up while shot count stayed the same. I get 3 mags with 18.13s going 815fps. I have no clue why airmaks would...

    Which semiauto rifle for squirrel hunting?

    I have no experience with semi auto airguns, not a big fan. But I am an avid hunter and love compact guns. I would give the airmaks katran compact a hard look. I absolutely love it, mines in .22 shooting 18.13s at 830 fps. I adjusted the reg up from factory(120 bar) to 145 bar and I get 3 mags...

    FX Wildcat Trigger Pin

    I had linkage pin issues with my wildcat bt and my maverick (basically same gun) . I ended up going to the hardware store and installing roll pins. That made it alot better, they would walk out a bit from time to time but never fell out again

    Hunting Grouse

    Yep, loved doing that when I lived in montana. A notos with a red dot would be an excellent choice.

    Compact Scope for Hunter Field Target

    Optisan cp 10x32 ( or other magnification/objective) and the vector veyron 3-12x44 ffp are great options. Been running both for years for farm pesting and they have been excellent.

    Brocock/BRK American Air Arms EVOL Mini .22 vs Brocock and other compacts questions

    I dont own a mini evol or atomic, but I do own an evol 15" that is phenomenal. The atomic looks like a great choice, here's a few others -RAW micro hunter -pathfinder as mentioned -umarex notos(I own one) -airmaks katran compact (i own) or the even smaller katran pistol carbine I know...

    Tuning AirMaks Katran C Power Tuning, Initial Thoughts & Observations

    I just picked up this exact gun and feel the mods you did are neccessary. It is wasting air imo and can be much more efficient, especially at the current fps (780 with 18gr) . What size spring did you put into the valve body? I considered just upping the reg pressure but my thought is the...
