Item Description

Reluctantly selling this one, as I am funding a new build and this simply doesn't get used anymore, despite its excellence.

Bought this a few years ago from a seller who purchased it new, upgraded the hop, weathered the whole rifle, and then left it under his bed for a few years un-skirmished, until I picked it up.

Arguably one of the best Airsoft K98s out there, being based on the renowned Tanaka system, however vastly improved with the addition of a gas regulating screw in the bolt nozzle, that allows you to adjust the FPS right up to 500 on .2s (I have it currently set in the 350-400 range, but very easy to tune to your needs).

This was the rifle that convinced me, that when done right, gas can be better than spring. Its incredibly accurate, powerful, smooth as hell (no spring tension to contend with of course), and very very quiet. I've measured accurate shots right out to 70m, with the hop adjusted correctly, using the right BBs. Its all a very simple system as well, meaning there is not much to go wrong beyond the bolt or mags, and if they do its generally an easy fix, such as tightening the tension screw in the bolt allowing it to hit the mag valves with its fully intended force. Its not had a hard life, only being Skirmished a handful of times by me, and is in very good condition with hardly any dings or scratches. As mentioned before it has been artificially weathered by the previous owner so don't let this fool you for it being worn out and overused.

With this also comes a rare Tanaka ZF41 1.5X, long eye relief scope, the absolute best of these replicas, and an item which on its own, is worth a fair bit. There are many cheep alternatives to this but none come close, and despite it only being 1.5X, it actually works very well on the rifle for Airsoft use. I believe it also has all the correct WW2 markings. It may not look like much, but trust me, its a excellent little scope,.

I have 4 magazines for this, 3 of which are fully functional, the 4th is missing a spring that holds up the plate which releases the gas upon firing. However I must point out that even if the spring is replaced, I believe this to have issues releasing the gas. Its probably an easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing (I am not), and it is a leak free mag so should be mendable. Each mag holds around 10 shots, and you can also buy CO2 versions if you so desire.

The guns replica cleaning rod sadly snapped off when the previous owner was packing the rifle to send to me, however it is included and I am sure someone can find a way to fix it back on.

Also included is a replica K98 sling on the rifle, a gun bag for it, and my remaining .45 Longbow Sniper BBs.

You can still find spare parts for this around, and thus I would recommend getting a spare bolt if you are going to use this regularly, as that is the only major moving part on the rifle and is a good way to future-proof it, keeping this excellent rifle going indefinitely.

This is a truly exquisite replica and Airsoft gun, one which you don't see come up often and one which I hope someone else can get many years of good use out of.

Drop me a DM for any further inquiry's on this.

Many Thanks.
