    Airmaks fill probe dia?

    Modern marvels of Supply Chain! My father does have a lathe in his shop, which hasn’t been touched since he passed years ago. Maybe I’ll get a bit creative… I’d really hate to waste an open 30 acres and a 12 yo niece who really wants to learn.

    Airmaks fill probe dia?

    Drats. I ordered the same one this morning for delivery tomorrow. I'm only on vacation till Saturday, so I had to give Amazon a try. UA won't make it on time. Live and learn!

    Airmaks fill probe dia?

    Thanks Jim. I'll see what I can find. Very helpful measurements. I'm feeling pretty foolish having gone through packing it up and checking it into the airline, renting a scuba tank, hauling it all and setting everything up.... only to be able to take 4 low pressure shots.

    Airmaks fill probe dia?

    Hi All, I brought my Airmaks Katran on a trip with me and forgot the fill probe. I ordered a couple from Amazon with 1 and 2 day shipping, but both are too large to fit the fill port. The first one said 9mm OD. The second said 8mm, but when it arrived it was the same as the first. Must be...

    Where to purchase slugs online?

    Have you tried them? I haven’t seen many good reviews on sizing and quality. And their return policy states no ammo returns. I would love to use a local, family owned business and I hope they grow. But I think I’ll wait a bit.

    Where to purchase slugs online?

    Thanks Qball - I’ll give them a try. Their grain weight seems a bit unstandard, but who knows.

    Where to purchase slugs online?

    Hi All. I do not have any local buying options for most anything airgun related. Where do you have the best experience with purchasing slugs online? I’ve used UA for gear and find their customer service to be fantastic. However, I’ve compared a handful of online retailers and when it comes...

    AirMaks Arms Airmaks Katran barrel swap

    Agreed. I wanted to play around with a larger caliber because this gun is so nice. But not $500 worth of playing.

    AirMaks Arms Airmaks Katran barrel swap

    Based on what you shared, I decided to go ahead with the swap from .177 to .25. I reached out to UA to broker it, and AirMaks had a similar reply as last time. With the added disappointing news: a cost of +$500 before shipping. "Hi Mike . The customers needs buy not only barrel , probe and...

    AirMaks Arms Airmaks Katran barrel swap

    Update: I emailed Mike at UA about this question and like everyone has said, he goes up and beyond. Thank you Mike! He messaged Airmaks and they responded that they DO sell barrel swaps. However, Katran’s are build specific. Meaning, if you purchase a .177 you can swap the barrel to a .22...

    PCP Rifle WANTED: Airmaks Katran (standard, C, CB, SC)

    FOUND. THANK YOU FOR THE INTEREST. Have my sights set on a Katran, and would prefer a CB or short barrel with bottle OR Tube. But any reasonable Katran is welcome! Have a great holiday weekend.

    AirMaks Arms Airmaks Katran barrel swap

    After using a few PCPs at a show, I think the Katran will be the first quality quality rife I add to my collection. I’ve found a few used models with various accessories, which is the route I prefer at this early stage of my entry into the sport. The commonality seems to be that they are all L...

    FX "NEW" Appreciation of my .25!

    The Royal 500 in Black Pepper is one of the most beautiful PCPs I’ve handled. I haven’t had an opportunity to hunt with it, now I’ll have to add it to the list.
