Description
This highly realistic replica is very reminiscent of the Tanaka Works model from years gone by, and is the closest replica to a Mauser Kar98k available to date. The weapon accepts either Green Gas or CO2 powered magazines, and comes with 2 x Green Gas magazines in the box to give you a decent start. Also included in the box is a replica K98K sling which is attached realistically at the front of the handguard and at the stock, making it easier to carry. The bolt action is much lighter than the D-Boys spring powered equivalent, leading to fast follow up shots and an overall less-tiring experience. The Green Gas magazines were tested on ASG Ultrair and resulted in an average of 300-328FPS over the full magazine, and rounds were hitting consistently on the iron sights on our 15m indoor range.
The magazine is loaded with gas by removing the feed lips to access the fill valve hidden underneath. The feed lips are removed by pulling back on the silver tab on top of the magazines and sliding the feed lips vertically. The CO2 magazines are loaded in the same way by removing the feed lips and unscrewing the base plate. The HOP is adjusted by pushing the wheel through from the left side of the receiver, and turning the wheel on the right side of receiver to adjust.
This replica K98K features a realistic "ZF-41" side rail for mounting a proprietary optic to finish the look of this rifle, especially if you're wanting to replicate the more 'elite' ranks of the Wermacht. The built in iron-sights are adjustable for elevation as you would expect, and the front sight post can be removed with ease.
It is worth noting that whilst this is a highly realistic replica, it will be mostly useless for skirmishing (dependent on how brave you are) thanks to the low capacity magazines, and the way that the model has been constructed to prioritise authenticity over functionality. We cannot recommend this weapon for Airsoft Skirmishing at all, and would suggest that it is used as a display-piece or for serious re-enactment only.
