Clone K98 at RSOV

With that information come to light, its a copy of Marushin's first generation K98 - before they went all Gas powered!

I`d heard a while back that the chinese had tried to turn the Tanaka 98 into a springer but had hit problems, which would explain why they went for an earlier non gas model, just a shame about the cartridges

how did they work in the earlier version? hold more than 1 bb? eject afterwards? etc

I`m assuming the cartridge holds 1 bb and the shell ejects (like the original) which makes it a pain in the arse for skirmishing, much like the marushin gas model.

youch ok not so great then. shame. but for £40 bearable. warrens kits still a better bet me thinks

Or make your own.

after the 1903 i'd rather just buy one. making two of those was enough for me hehe

K98's are a bit easier than Springfields, I've done 2 myself.

hrmm tempting hehe. reminds me i need to get the 1903 out and sort out the final bits that need doing to it.

As has been said before, many times, the shell system is a pain for skirmishing purposes but the Marushin gun looks lovely and firing it is an absolute joy - it 'feels' and looks a lot more authentic in terms of its operation - I'm very happy with mine and will be taking a look at the new Dboys one now that I know about it -

can it hold more than one shell at a time at least?

can it hold more than one shell at a time at least?

Yep, you load the five shells just like the real steel

ahh has a nice grin factor then hehe

Lovely weapon for the price I've got a mate who runs a site based airsoft shop, "Andy's Airsoft" I've asked him if he would import them from Gunner in Hong Knog, and he's willing to do it if we can get a few orders. If anyone is interested, as I am, put your name down and he'll order them up for you, I'll get a full price asap and could bring them to the next event.

Definitely interested, price depending.

why is it that the chinese make stuff that i want, after i want it, never before. i would have had one of these but having spent weeks and hours making my own "damn you chinese manufacturers"

AND if the chinese are reading this I AM MAKING A PPSH41

No, honest I am
really

PLEASE I REALLY WANT ONE

OK just got my own UKARA number sorted out, still waiting for a final price from Andy, but it should be at "mates rates" so that's me, Steve D and Sgt Heide up for one of these. Going to put a wooden stock on mine and Steve rekons that there might just be a possibility that a VSR 55 round mag could just fit in so doing away with the shells, worth a try for the cost involved.

let me know what the price is maybe interested. especially if a vsr mag will fit

I was thinking of shoehorning a whole mp-001 or VSR-10 in to one, retaning the 98k stock & front end, juat an idea, don't fancy loosing all the shells,

Kind of looks like these are pics of a prototype... the bolt finish is not as nice as on the RSOV pics.
