Sweet looking little airgun. "Snaps like a pane of glass" Steve's verbiage in his reviews is awesome.

Nice review of this very interesting air gun.

 

[jwhayward]

nice looking guns. can't beat cz barrels imo have two taipan veterans I love them 

 

[CaptainBravo]

I watched the whole video, and parts more than once, but I have many distractions today. At the risk of asking a dumb question, will it fire with the stock folded?

...I am still waiting to find out if the magazine body is aluminum like the Caiman...

...I would assume "yes" to both questions...but...

 

[Mangoesbroke]

Pretty sweet

The AirMaks Arms Katran Compact is a very cool folder. I just recently picked up my first PCP air rifle. I picked up the gauntlet ll. Very excited to get into this new hobby

Wow! Thank you Steve for keeping us in the loop of great new products. The Katran looks like pesting perfection! I love it’s features. Built in mag holders ought to be standard on all guns. I’m with you in that they had me in mind when they designed that puppy!

Great looking airgun. Any word on if barrels will be available separately allowing for customer swap? Also in regards to the flex issue in the stock it appears some sort of brace could be made to go from the tip of the bag rider back up to the stock to eliminate this issue. Looks like holes already exist that could be utilized for this.

Great video as always.

I haven't seen anything on the barrels being a swappable accessory. On the Buttstock, I believe that gusseted alloy in place of poly would remedy. Best, Steve

Looks nice,shoots great cant wait to see how the longer versions perform.

Shooter1721 just reviewed the XL. Steve

...the magazine does not look any better than the Caiman magazine, just larger...I find that hard to reload...

...I had one stick and jam up the rifle once...fired empty a few times too with ammo left in the magazine...

...I am sure it has to do with the weak spring but if the spring was much stiffer they would be even harder for old arthritic people, whom I would imagine are the target customers, to reload...

...that said I like how compact and sturdy the magazine for the Caiman is...does the Katran magazine have an aluminum body...???...

Yes, the body is aluminum. Michael and I discussed this in the Vlog for y'all

Great gun for us normal shooters/hunters who shoot at less than 50 yards.

Such a great thing for me to keep in mind with these reviews. Thank you. Steve

No such rhing as a dumb question here. Yes, it will fire with the stock folded. Steve

...I am still waiting to find out if the magazine body is aluminum like the Caiman...

...I would assume "yes" to both questions...but...

In reading your previous post twice, I only saw one question and the answer is yes. The magazines had aluminum bodies. Steve

...thanks Steve...the second question was the one aboot the folding stock @ CaptainBravo...

...I don't get through too many vlogs...

...does the magazine on the Katran prevent one from double loading or shooting empty after the last shot...???...

...I am pretty new to magazine fed pellet guns and did not appreciate the subtleties before they were mentioned on another thread @ the AirMaks Caiman......

...now I appreciate that the easy to load plastic magazine on the Benjamin Cayden does block one from shooting empty but I suspect it will allow me to double load...

...I have not tried that yet with either of my magazine fed rifles but did so with my AP16 and do not recommend this......LoL...
