AirForce Airguns is announcing a new member of the Texan family of big bore air rifles for 2019, the TexanLSS.
The TexanLSS combines the power of the original Texan with the sound suppression technology featured on the integrally suppressed Texan SS.
AirForce says that the LSS sound reduction system will be available as a complete rifle as well as an upgrade kit for existing Texan non-suppressed Texan rifles.
Since its release in 2015 the Texan has continued to be the most powerful production air rifle on the market, says AirForce. With the 2018 season substantially increasing the number of states allowing air rifles as a legal method of take for big game, the Texan has seen more success in the hands of hunters than ever before, the company tells HAM.
“With the sport of airgun hunting growing at an exponential rate, the amount of feedback Airforce Airguns has received from hunters in the field has been nothing short of astounding” said AirForce Airguns Director of Marketing, Cameron Brinkerhoff.
“We have been listening to our customers and found that hunters loved the sound suppression benefits of our existing SS models. But they wanted to achieve the same power levels as our non-suppressed, long barrel models. The TexanLLS and accompanying Big Bore Sound-Loc upgrade for existing Texan rifles fulfill that need without the end user having to make permanent modification to the rifle.”
The TexanLSS and Big Bore Sound Loc Kits will be available to dealers by late 1st quarter, in plenty of time for the 2019 hunting season.
AirForce says that installation of Big Bore Sound Loc kits requires minimal tools and can be accomplished by the end user. Alternatively, Texan rifle owners can send their rifle to AirForce to have it installed, for a small labor charge in addition to the cost of the Sound Loc Kit.
The TexanLSS and Big Bore Sound Loc kit will be available initially for .457 models with .357 and .30 caliber kits to follow shortly.
