Tanaka Kar98k Spring Rifle

Recommended Posts

New product from Tanaka, a Mauser Kar98k only it's not like the carbine you used to know. This one is spring powered featuring a detachable magazine where the real Mausers magazine should be. Prior to this people had to resort to butchering a VSR into a Marushin clone shell ejecting Kar98 just to get a reliable spring powered Mauser. It's still very expensive for what little it does (send bbs down range) but I can see how this will appeal to many WWII guys. And while the gun itself is relatively expensive, about as much as the original gas version, spare mags are a mere $24 each.

Ppl who buy this are stupid, have too much money or honestly believe the money is going for a good cause...

 

Now lets wait for an ACM-clone and some upgrades.

 

Since i live in a winter-country the gas-variant is mostly useless. That said a spring variant is very welcome. Also 98K is THE coolest bolt-lock sniper...

 

OT: how much do the real steel scopes retail for? Any good alternative around?

For the love of God, why won't someone (looking at you, JG) just take the BAR-10 internals and build WWII-era rifle bodies around them? 

 

KAR98K, Lee Enfield, Springfield, etc.

 

It can't be that hard and people have been asking for them for years!

 

A lot of people make custom rifles doing just this, commonly referred to BAR98k's. The issue is the VSR-10 internals isn't a good fit for them and they are always a bit wrong.
