AirMaks Arms Katran Compact in .22 - recommended moderator?

[ChickenDumpling]

Seeing what the AN forum members with the Katran Compact .22 are using for moderators. Will be running 14 to 15 grain pellets in general. I did contact UA to see what they recommend as Katran sellers. Majority of the shooting takes place around 30 yards or less. What are you running for a moderator?

I have two DonnyFl Tantos and two 110 0dBs… I like the 0dBs for their esthetics, both brands work nicely on my .22 PCPs.

The long has really good results with the tanto. Can't speak on the C
i'd suggest the "FX" to match the OD of the stock muzzle device.

Are you saying FX has its own in-house or is it the DonnyFL FX Moderator?

The Donny FL "FX" moderator. The tanto is slightly skinnier than the diameter of the stock muzzle device. Using both in conjunction really hushes the gun to a high extent, if you don't mind the gap from the airmaks 3 chamber mod to the tanto, it'll be just fine. I'm somewhat neurotic and it ground on me. The tanto gave me great suppression at 90b running 10.3gr at 890-900 to 115b running 13.5gr slugs at the same or higher velocity. If you plan to shoot at 30 I'd personally leave the reg alone and shoot 10.34s and 10.03 slugs. The gun will be near silent.

edit: keep forgetting "COMPACT". I don't know what velocity they're advertised at, but yeah, thats what the "L" model did.

I won't be running slugs with the .22 compact and will be starting off at 800fps, but I'll verify that upon receipt. No expert - never have been on anything, but 800 seems like an okay spot for the grains I plan to run. I know these variables all have an effect on which moderator works for the users setup.

I had a .25 tanto on a .177, which was louder than the .22's and .25's i tried the tanto on. really did a good job, so I think it's safe to assume at that velocity you'll get ideal results.

Of all the different moderators I have owned, the best in my opinion is the RTI Carbon fiber HUSH model.
