Really got my eye on one of these, the guys on the stand at the BSS were very enthusiastic and I was very impressed with the build quality. Nice video thanks mate
Nice review Jake, and what a lovely little rifle! I know Chris is very happy with his, and they really do appear to have gained a deservedly growing following. It's nice when something just works straight out of the box (a rareity these days) Very much looking forward to the improvements that you'll be applying. Honestly, if the manufacturers of the various rifles you've fettled over the years arent watching your channel, they should be, and asking themselves 'Why can't we do that...' ;-)
Very impressive little rifle to be honest, not much around its price point that competes, I would have one of these over the maverick or dreamtac any day, and I like FX rifles. Thanks for watching.
Nice one Jake, they are supurb little things right out the box aren’t they. Looking forward to your journey with this Katran and any changes along the way 👍🏼
I am interested in this rifle because I have a short LOP (12 inches) and looks like this would fit me and it’s adjustable. Look forward to seeing the upgrades you’ll be doing. Think I better start saving up for this Katran C compact.
Great vid and info what head s size and weight pellet did you settle on in the end? Watching this with interest And will be making a long trip to crawley surplus shortly, i think Thanks
@@sub12airgunners when you get around to lapping video, could you mention thoughts on fire lapping as I understand some people like it and others won't touch it.
I watch all your stuff but excuse me for not always commenting- your technical knowledge is just the best but you don’t need people blowing smoke every day I’m sure. I’m hoping to buy the .22 version even though the transfer port sleeve isn’t available yet. I expect it will be more air efficient than the .177 but I can’t find any reference to the actual shot count of .22 @ sub 12. Do you have any idea? I like the C as the fore end is a better place for a bipod. I know you can throw £150 at the CB and fit a rail but with the sleeve I think the C is the better end product. Cheers Andrew 💨
Thanks much appreciated, not sure on .22 shot count, you could be best off contacting Chris at CDR guns, I am pretty sure that the sleeve is now available from the factory, as it makes such a difference, I much prefer the look of the C over the bottle but its all personal preference. Thanks for watching
Question for you. Why is it not advisable to shoot below the regulator pressure on an FX impact or any other quality pcp. Just curious as to what damage may be caused . Thanks 👍
Most regs wont get damaged by under pressure, but when you shoot the rifle below the reg pressure at a point there will not be enough closing force on the back of the reg, so after a while the reg will let go and dump the air from the bottle. Thanks for watching.
Hi there sorry not really same subject as vid, is a smooth twist x barrel far much better than a regular smooth twist barrel in your opinion? Regards phil pinkney
The smooth twist barrels were the older version of the liner system, they can be good. The STX is the liner system, both can be good or bad, there is not really a better system, but if I had a choice I would have the newer STX liners. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunners thanks for reply. So is it possible to retro fit an stx barrel to my mk1 wildcat and if so is it something you could do. Regards phil
Love it 👍🏽 when you gonna try Something AGT and tell us what’s the best out the two 😜 I’m sure the bendy Wendy boys are going to love this 👍🏽 what’s not to like 😎✌🏼
AGT on the radar for a little while now, just have not pulled the trigger because of the bullpup design, I am fairly tall and usually bullpups are miserable to shoot off a bench for me, but we will definitely be picking one up at some point. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunners Thanks Buddy 👍🏽 If I needed a new Toy this would be the one I’d go for 👍🏽 It’s AGT FX Impact Bendy Wendy all it one 😊 I think they’re gonna sell well 😎 Keep the Vids Coming mate 🤟🏻
They are made in Czech republic, so I don't think it will be a problem, Edgun stuff might start to become a problem but for the moment I think Arimaks will be fine. Thanks for thatching
Hi Jeff, not sure if you have been following my thread on AirGunForum but I have made a good bit of progress on the shotcount for these so would love you to get in touch and we can compare notes 👍

Thanks, they are a nice bit of kit, accurate, slick and it looks like Airmaks are really trying to do it right. Thanks for watching.
Great video, thank for a well biased review,....i shouldered one at Crawley surplus and fell in love with it, and am saving for one as we speak!

Very nice little rifle, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for watching.

Lovely compact rifle, look forward to the upgrades.... I almost felt sorry for you when you said people don't give you anything....almost :-)
Cheers Tim, no freebies yet, but we do have a very generous air supplier. Thanks for watching.
Great vid and info what head s size and weight pellet did you settle on in the end? Watching this with interest
And will be making a long trip to crawley surplus shortly, i think
Thanks
Well worth the trip, we settled on the JSB express 4.51, to be fair it shot most pellets well, but the express just had the edge. Thanks for watching
Excellent little video,I'm thinking of buying the compact bottle version in.22 but it can't seem to find the shot count?
Too be honest not sure, your best bet would be to have a chat with Chris the importer Facebook link below: Thanks for watching.

do you have a video on polishing the barrel? really enjoy your videos btw. keep up the great work. 💪🇬🇧
I don't yet but it is on the way, little list of things still to do with this rifle. I do have on on the Akela though. Thanks of watching.

@@andrewmcnulty0 Good idea, ill try and cover that. Thanks for watching.
Are you still making the swivel cocking lever for this rifle?

I know this rifle until now as a Edgun Leshy ! Or am I wrong - is this a different gun?
This is the Katran from Airmaks, very similar looking but different rifles. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunners ...oh yes that´s right. Thanks for the reply!
Which gets your vote Katran or Krait compact?
Katran standard the compact is nice but the standard is the one for me

another good video. Being made in Russia is it going to be stopped from being allowed to buy

@@jeffhello1444 AirMaks arms was developed in 2009 and based in Prague, Czech Republic . Why do you think that our rifle made in Russia?
