However, given that we are encamped then there is no reason not to have an alternative weapon in your armoury - take the K98 out on patrols, use the M...

As with others what makes it for me is all of the above with the exception of the long duration & in field camping- they're optional. Guy is right...

That was my thought as well. Although a bolt action should give you slightly better performance than an AEG at the same power having a little extra po...

Just leave it out in the sun, it will soon start to fade. Mine has gone from a dark olive (was darker than my uniform) to a sandy yellow and that was ...

US truck drivers etc used them into the early 1990's in the gulf apparently! An ex US tanker friend of mine told me he was issued one in the 80's, I...

Looking good smelly pocket. Are you planning to get a Hohenstaufen cuff title or are you staying as generic as possible? Btw I have a pair of green...

I can live with that. The other ones I saw had red borders. It does say various shades so hopefully it will turn out like yours.

Given the monsterous size of my camp bed I think I'm going to have to rig up some sort of shelter with my plash (might get another) and hope its a war...

Of the SM whole ones in general or mine specifically & how it fits?

Yes. What is it with the 'stonewashed' look alot of manufacturers seem to be going for at the moment? It doesn't make stuff look old or used, just cra...

Yeah pretty much. Although mine is a G33/40 not a K98 so the shorter barrel will make some difference. The tightbore, M700 rubber set (has rubber seal...

Just for reference mine was doing around 460fps on green at the same time. Although what ammo did you use to test yours? As we noted before there is a...

SM Wholesale tan FJ K98 bandolier. Soooo much nicer than the sturm one I have. It doesn't pull my belt up to my nipples and tanaka mags fit in it with...

You could try here. They print their own peadot so may be able to help. It won't be cheap but it will be very good. http://www.zeugmeistere...

Well the real ammo capacity is the same, the airsoft one is whatever you make it!
