Horse Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Right... To solve your nozzle woes, get an $18 replacement 'PCS' nozzle from Tokyo Model Company. To remove the rear sight, you will need to get to the point where the top wood section is able to slide back and forth along the top of the rifle, but not come off; do this by loosening the forward sling attachment point. Lift the slider part of the rear sight up, use a screwdriver or similar to push the springy metal under that down, then pull the adjustable bit towards the bolt, it should click out. You can then move the wood part back and forth enough to reveal the screws at the base of the rear sight unit, front and back. You might have to attack them at a slight angle because of the wood, so take your time! EDIT - P.S. Shame on you for even considering putting a weaver mount on a Kar98... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Xeres - thanks! Ill try that asap. The gun is a G-version, but the actual brass nozzle with internal threading is severely necked down towards its base. I chose this style of mount so that it would look just like the tanaka scope but actually be usable (read: have magnification) and that it would cause no damage to the rifle. I need the gun to be as period correct as it can be half of the year (for reinactor stuff) as I need it to be a useful sniper the other half (regular ol airsoft games).

xerxes Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 No worries dude. My G33 is also a G version, came from HK but the nozzle is pretty damn wide and even all the way down, both the stock one and the new one are identical. You could always drill it out, or just splash $18 on the new nozzle... As for the Weaver comment, each to their own, as usual! I prefer irons myself... Link to post Share on other sites
xerxes Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 By the way... Just found this on the Best Gun site, looks like a rail mount for Kar98 / G33/40 rifles? :S http://tw.f4.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auction...5823?u=best6689 Link to post Share on other sites

The Chef Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have made a side mount for mine. took a bit of work, and isnt pretty at the moment, but it works. and yeah, seen that scope mount from BGS. lovely looking, from the price I think they work out about £40 though, which is a shame. but I may still get some at some point. Just getting through to Best Gun is proving harder than a hard thing at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
xerxes Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I got an e-mail reply from them in less than twenty-four hours! I'll be sticking in an order at the end of the month, if anyone wants to hop on. Link to post Share on other sites
Matthais_31 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I am tempted by the prospect of BGS hop-rubber...how much do they charge for them Link to post Share on other sites
xerxes Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Here's an excerpt from the e-mail I got: 1. Prices are in USD, e.g. 1. 98K-01 HOP UP S. X 1P. -------52USD 2. BG-T04 HOP Bucking X 1 P.(3 P.in one packs) ---15USD 3. 98K-02 Magazine Steel trigger piece X 1 P. ---18.5USD 4. 98K-03 Scope Mount X 1 P. --------61.5USD 2. You send the remittance includes the cost of products, transports and the procedure fees of bank or Paypal---- so 52USD(S.P.)+12USD(Postage)=64USD+ 4%(Paypal)=66.5USD EMS Postage is 0 - 0.25KG-------12USD - 0.5KG--15.5USD - 1KG----19.3USD All the other prices are available on the site.

The Chef Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Xerxes, I had got as far as the quote from them, but the details they sent me for their bank account were incomplete (no account number). I have requested this, and thus far, its been quiet. Do you have details of their paypal address at all? using paypal is a lot cheaper and infinitely more stress free than trying to do a wire transfer through the bank. Link to post Share on other sites
xerxes Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Just waiting to hear back now, sent the e-mail a minute ago. Will let you know if I get an address... My guess is it'll be the Yahoo one they use, but I'll wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites
Matthais_31 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Just to make clear - the BGS hop up bucking is $15 and comes with 3 buckings in one pack? We are talking about the blue, AEG style bucking here, as that seems like quite the bargin if I am correct! Cheers Matthais_31 Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 It would appear so. Its somewhat better than the ones I ordered from Evike a few months back, which worked out at £9 each (after shipping). Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 FYI (sorry this is a bit out of context): I own an M700 Take Down version and a while ago I bought the King Arms Silencer Adapter for Tanaka M700 ( 14mm- ). I took the front end off the barrel, when to put to the silencer adaptor on only to find it way to big for the barrel Minus a lathe I stuck the damn thing in my pillar drill and put a file to it - finally managed to get it to fit but I had to take quite a bit of metal off. Though the Take Down version doesn't seem terribly popular for some reason (or is that just my impression?). Link to post Share on other sites
Dist Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 how much is the m700 hopup kit (the one that comes with the extended nozzle and a correct sized part to go around the hopup rubber) from that site? since evike is out of stock for quite a while now (that that i would trust them anyway so i wouldnt get it from them) and firesupport cant source that BGS hopup kit from any of their suppliers either im hoping the place in that link that was mentioned a few posts up is reliable and cheap (ive no idea how much it costs in £) Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 From the list that I have - 2000NTD (taiwan dollars), which from XE.com converts to £30.92p thats before any shiping/tax etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Matthais_31 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Which to my mind is somewhat expensive! Take the risk, modify your unit and reap the benifits Link to post Share on other sites
Dist Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 i dont want to modify the standard parts with the gun because if i ever sell the gun on i want to to be able to say that it has been upgraded but it comes with all the stock parts too, plus if the BGS hopup ever fails, i can go back to the standard hopup rubber without any modificatonis or buying new parts, which wouldnt be possibel if i drilled out the standard part to fit the BGS rubber.

The Chef Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 You could always buy a new hop housing from WGC (or the like) for about $9. Thats what I would advise. Link to post Share on other sites
Matthais_31 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi all, After the first skirmish with my AICS, ive decided that it is, unfortunately, not firing with a regular and consistant power output - what do I Need to fix this? Can I simply get a knock-arm and plunger set, or do I need to get the complete power pack with the reinforced spring? Thanks in advance Matthais_31 p.s. If I do need the spring as well, is it true that it wears down the stricking plate significantly? Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 if you get the power pack (which IMO, is very good value), the spring has a much more positive hammer effect on the magazines. The plungers (which you get 2 of) are slightly longer and actually negate the need for the impact plates (the bit that suffers the wear). They are also much harder wearing. I have put countless rounds through mine with only minimal wear to the plunger ends. Have you done a crono test on numerous shots, because if its just shot inconsistency, then it could be other issues, rather than the gas variation. Link to post Share on other sites
Matthais_31 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I have not had a chrono done as I do not have one - but I cant understand what else it could be! I have had new and old hop rubbers fitted, with both the stock and a bic cartridge as the hop-actuator and still the same thing happens, some shots fire short as is no-hop is being applied, and then without chaning anything, the next shot will fly up into the air as if far too much hop is being applied- leading me to conclude that is must be a power issue causing the variance. Also, with no-hop applied, the bbs also seem to travel different distances, again pointing towards power. Does my conclusion sound reasonable? Cheers Matt Link to post Share on other sites
