After requests to display test results of the K98 springer, I have done a quick range test.
Im not going to review it as such,(im crap at writing up things) also guiness has done an excelent review already here
http://ww2aa.proboards45.com/index.cgi? ... 1197008859
im just showing grouping, and a video on the features and functions of the rifle.
here they are.
Grouping.
I was fireing useing a table as a rest, at a A4 piece of paper @ 25m range (hits marked with a black ring), cold day, light swirling wind. .25 marui bb ammo
I fired 25 rounds at the target.
First five were "rapid" from standing positon, unsupported. these are marked with an X through the black ring.
3 "Hit" the paper, 2 went over the target by two inches and dented the wooden fence.
i then fired 4 x 5 rounds (20 total) all from kneeling , useing table for support
1 BULLSEYE
15 "hits on paper" (marked only with black ring)
4 misses 3 over the target, 1 below
see picture here
This was using the Rifle "out of the box" no adjustment at all 
im confident of 80% hit rate at 25m on a normal game day.
Tonight , i hit a pidgeon at 40 - 50m on the second round, 1st hit low by 6 inches, second hit, for definate, he twitched and flaped and he flew off 
I would skirmish this gun
heres a link to the video , showing loading , ejection, bolt removal and safty catch

Hope this helps people to decide if this gun is for them or not

John, must agree- with shell ejections - they fall at your feet so not bad for gathering the spent cases
airsoft news . eu have also done a review:
Nice vid Anthony, certainly opened my eyes regarding the shells ejecting, I had visions of them flying 3 foot away. 
Ooo Great vid mate. Really helped answer those questions about how it all works. Seriously thinking of getting one now
Oh and its "Safety" 
No longer involved in airsoft.
I've gone for one. Ordered a wooden stock and a supply of stripper clips and cartridges to go with it.

HOLD ON A MINUTE!!!!! No one told me you could get hurt doing this Airsoft thingy.....I quote '3 "Hit" the paper, 2 went over the target by two inches and dented the wooden fence.'
Dented a wooden fence???? Might invest in some body armour...or due to lack of funds plenty of rolled up newspapers!!!
Heh... yes it can hurt. I have lost a tooth... but that's once in 5 years airsofting... and I airsoft quite a bit!
But its not usually that bad...
... and you have lots more teeth anyway...
It really is a shame they don't grow back... gah!
Would it be remiss of me to wear a full suit of 16thc plate armour????
would make a great 'ding' sound when hit 
Tommy and airborne helmets make a loverly ding.
What always gets me though is with a tommy helmet when the bb hits and then travels around the outside of the helmet and you get a very odd "shing" noise around your head.
Its happened twice to me now... no idea if its real or imaginary, but its very odd!

the fence was waney lap fence, and the dents were only 2/3 mm deep
the only time you get hurt is real close up (under 10 feet) , or hit in the teeth
and most CIA player do use common sense, there isnt much overkill at cia games

Loading one round at a time into shells... Sounds like my revolver! lol
I wouldn't bother with a speed loader, they kick 4 out at a time... Just take a handful from a bag and pop them in by hand.
I seem to remember Josh AKA Gunman had a load of shell he wanted to get rid of too. Might be worth a PM.
