volante Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Tanaka works Kar.98k with Tanaka works replica ZF41. I think it is the best gas powered bolt action airsoft rifle ever made. Cocking bolt feels very realistic, and muzzle velocity is amazing. Also, very accurate. I can hit a cola can from 20m distance without any optional parts. But, this gun made of zinc alloy, so it wears out and that is very annoying for this kind of lovely gun. I strongly recommend this rifle for collectors.

faramon Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Ahhh I would love one but they are stupidly expensive and made with an FPS that roughly kills cows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

volante Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 G&G is going to make tanaka kar.98k's reinforced copy(steel and CNC milled aluminium!). I really hope to buy one of those. That's not gonna wear out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k.a Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Wears out how ?? are the internals soft zinc alloy and wearout ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volante Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) K.a/ Yes. internal zinc sear is also very weak. but that's fine because it does not be seen from outside. But... what i mean 'wear out' is a problem of receiver and bolt. When i cocking this gun, a bolt and a receiver would scratch each other badly. Red marked place is where hard friction occur. And if you tune this gun with harder hammer spring, edge of receiver will be squashed. Edited March 5, 2011 by volante Quote Link to post Share on other sites
faramon Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Oh G&G .. gas still yes? .. if so I am in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volante Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 G&G already made tanaka m700's reinforced copy. G96. G96 has steel bolt, steel sear, reinforced magazine, aluminium milled chassis, and FRP stock side. even that good, G96 is half price of zinc made Tanaka AICS. I think G98k will be same as G96. steel bolt, steel sear, aluminium receiver, wood stock. it will be fantastic,. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pryok poroh Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hi volante! I see you are the happy owner of this gorgeous , so i thought you could help with my problem about Tanaka's Kar98K's. Could you tell me your oppinion about which kar98k model from Tanaka is better? - Mountaineer Kar98k is A LOT cheaper, but has shorter barrel ( also maybe has the adjustable gas valve? ), Tanaka Kar98k G - version has longer barrel and it looks original ( Price over 700 dollars). - Thank you - Pryok Poroh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blablabla Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I couldn't say about the Mountain version, but on the Kar98K you can install a real deal stock, And it makes it look even better ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pryok poroh Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 So the barrel on G33/40 doesnt have much effect between it and Kar98k G - versions barrel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blablabla Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 euhm I don't understand the question Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pryok poroh Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Does any1 know that is it possible to fit a real kar98k scope into tanaka Kar98k? Ps. Blablabla, I meant that does the barrels length affect much between those 2 models? I did some research and found out that VSR-10's barrel is shorter than G33/40's ( 3 cm ) and still you can hit targets easily from 150 ft. away with it so i bet mountaineer version is as accurate as its longer brother Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blablabla Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yes it's possible to fit a real scope, there is a mount that comes with the Tanaka Kar98K, I don't know for sure what type of scope though, maybe zf41, You should ask on a more WOII orientated forum perhaps ? Sure I think the difference between the barrels and related accuracy between the two models is minimal, if you fit aftermarket parts to it, then the difference is almost negligible. At www.gasguns.com is a great topic on Tanaka with people that know a great deal on their rifles Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The effect barrel length has on accuracy is negligible. If both barrels are manufactured with the same consistency of inner diameter, which I assume they are, since they're from the same retailer, I doubt there will be a noticable difference in accuracy between the regular K98k and the mountaineer carbine. Also, I wouldn't worry about the wear on those aforementioned bolt-parts. I've used my Tanaka K98k in alot of games as a primary and the bolt cycles and locks into place like it should after years of using it. If the power limits on your playing fields allow it, I would get the version with the old gas system though. The newer G-system can be regulated, but in my (strictly subjective and personal) experience I've found that the original system is more stable, reliable and will take any gas you'll throw at it.

Joseph Porta Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 ive been using mine for 3 years now, on green gas. 504 fps @ -1 degree C .25bb magazine was in my pocket for 5 mins before chrono bolt and reciver show signs of wear , but nothing to cause the gun to fail. ive got slight distortion on the back of the bolt from ramming the bolt forwards too hard in a firefight, you dont need much force to cock it at all really a great gun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
