Czech manufacturer AirMaks is coming to the market with a hot new product for 2021, named after the Black Sea shark – Katran.
The HP (High Power) version offers a larger volume of Power Plenum and its choke-less barrel (barrel constriction) is specially modified for slug shooting. Of course, you can still shoot traditional pellets as well.
AirMaks Katran, despite its overall length of 1210 mm, excels in lightness. The weight is just over 3 kg. The lightweight stock is machined on CNC machines. By pressing a button, it can be folded to the left side. The stock lock against accidental opening is cleverly solved with a magnet that reliably holds it in place. The butt plate and cheek rest are made of durable ABS plastic. There is also space in the stock for attaching two magazines.
Loading is fantastic. Hats off, the manufacturer really put thought into this. Reloading can be done quickly, with one finger, and without the need to remove the aiming cross from the target. The biathlon lever has a short and incredibly smooth action. Many bullpups can only dream of this. The charging lever can be placed on either side according to the shooter’s needs. The cherry on top is the protection against loading two pellets into the barrel.
The barrel, made in the Czech Republic, measures 700 mm (1/17.7) and is ideal for firing slugs. It ends with an effective cup-shaped sound moderator. For those who want the weapon to be as quiet as a summer breeze, additional cups or any 1/2 UNF threaded sound moderator can be added.
The air supply is maintained by a duralumin cartridge with a capacity of 300 cm3 and a maximum operating pressure of 300 bars. The cartridge is encircled by a tactical forearm with KeyMod slots. This shifts the weapon’s center of gravity slightly forward. A 22mm rail is prepared for mounting optics.
The magazine holds an impressive 14 rounds in 6.35 mm caliber. A fully adjustable trigger is a matter of course.
The pistol grip made of soft plastic complies with the AR15 standard and ensures a comfortable hold. The manual safety is located on the left side of the body and can be operated even with the stock folded.
The AirMaks Katran air rifle is delivered in a nice padded case.
Newly included with the air rifle is a short Picatinny rail on the underside of the handguard, allowing easy bipod installation.

Well where to start................. After purchasing the Katran X HP
6.35 I was thrilled with how awesome it was to shoot at 50m and 100m. But my
enthusiasm lasted approx a month. Then something happened to the rifle and
I don't know what????????? It started to change the shot groups on its
own!!!!!!! I shot with it again and after a few shots it changed again approx.
4–5cm and so it went round and round. Anyway I contacted Balistas and they
told me to send it to them and they would send it to the manufacturer for
repair. I assumed there was a faulty regulator which was confirmed. So the
manufacturer replaced the regulator and they sent the rifle back to me. And what
happened? The rifle does „hold“ the grouping in one place. However,
it's impossible to achieve a smaller group than 8cm diameter at distance of
50m??????? The rifle goes to the complaint again and now I am very curious how
it goes. I firmly hope it will be fine again , because if it doesn't come back
fine now I'm returning it to the dealer. But of course I am aware that these
problems of mine are not the fault of the dealer but of AirMaks Arms and its
service department.
