Uh. Already posted?

yes i saw that, but i guess i was mistaken because i thought that when i read it, he was only referring to the mountain version. That being said, is it better to have the G-version, or is the regular version adequate?

[Krieg]

With the regular version you can't regulate the velocity of gas emmited during firing, thus you will be in the mid 500's with .20 bb's. Maybe higher.

This is awsome but some fields might not allow you.

[Donster]

well id rather spend less and just use a heavier BB. especially after you recommended them (i saw your post on the WWII website.). The problem is that i have yet to find a heavy BB brand that can be used with TB barrels. I did find the KSC .30 BBs. they are supposed to be good with TB barrels. I also found .36 aluminum coated BBs, but that cant be safe IMO. Unless it is too difficult to do so, i plan on putting a TB inner barrel in the Mauser when i eventually get it.

On and aside, i have never actually handled a real steel version of the gun. The rail that the tanaka scope mounts to, is that where a scope would be mounted on the real steel version? cause all of the pics ive seen, it doesn't look so, but i could be wrong.

The Real deal K98 had some ways of mounting a scope.

Some are mounted on the receiver


some are mounted on the rail on the left side of the rear sights,



or there were some scope mountes that mounted into the place of the rear sight, which required the removal of the sight.


Yes the Tanaka mount is historically accurate, but the scope itself sucks.


I wouldn't use Aluminum coated BB's. Metal on metal can wear your barrel out faster even if its lubed.

i personally have no experience with heavy BB's. I just bought a bag of .36 Straight brand BB's. Uncoated, we'll see how it works.
Also don't buy the graphite coated stuff, apparently its bad for the hop-up rubber.

[hattrick]

noone have exp with the spring powered (shell ejecting?) marushin k98?

[Krieg]

I read about those a while ago.

Apparently they were worse performers than the 8mm Gas version.

[Donster]

so just so i know, it IS possible to switch out the inner barrel of the Kar98k with a TB barrel. i was looking at those 6.01mm from DB Custom

[Krieg]

I personally don't know.

[Krieg]

Im drunk, but still can tell that with heavier BBssfg the gun performs very well.
Well, it perfomrs good enough .25s still have to try .36's though.
It will be mid 300-ish FPS wise but sti;;l perform really accuratees/.
good nitghs

Does anyone know where I might possibly get a Manual for either of the Mauser 98K airsoft rifles offered? I have a chance to pick up one of the better Tanaka ones but with no manual. I like the idea of Whermacht markings on the metal and true wood stock.

Thanks for your help

[sortie39]

this one is really the king of the 98k world,it shoots as a nasty shit up to 700FPS!!!

[Drunk_Albertan]

If you don't buy it, tell me where it is and I'll sure as hell pick it up, manual or not!!! (It's all in Japanese anyways!)

*edit* nice necro btw.
