G&G's new guns

[BoGrain]

Great news indeed, the only hick is that they will take 8g CO2 powerlet instead of 12g. So, they might be a bit harder to find but I ll take that anyday

Oh. Didn't register that. That could be harder, I agree.

They can be bought online 150$ for 360 8g powerlet from a canadian dealer

so its not too bad, I would have prefered propane but a Kar98k with available replacement parts is worth it.

The 8g CO2 cartridges are used for whipped cream and carbonating water. They are more common than you think, but not as common as the 12g. I would rather take a smaller mag with realistic proportions over a huge mag just so it can fit a 12g cartridge.

Yeah I'm leaving my job for school, gotta start selling stuff to afford it

As for the mag, it seems I was wrong. It's just disassembled. It's held with 2 screws. EDIT : eeeh, no screws, but still, I doubt it's top loaded. It's like Tanaka system I read.

Bah, it's still better than shells.

I don't know enough about K98s to discern this for myself, so hopefully some of you ww2 fans can help me out. Does the G&G K98 have the mounting bits for a scope? And what type of scope would be correct on a K98? (This last one i could have googled but I was posing a question anyways so I figured why not!)

yes, there is a scope mount near the front sight due to the long eye-relief of the ZF41 as well as to not obstruct the movement of the bolt and access to the safety; but the ZF41 is more suited for a DMR role due to 1.5x magnification (mounted on a shorther version of the Kar98k known as the G40K)



There is also the ZF39 with x4 magnification; however, it requires extensive modification of the receiver to mount it; I seriously doubt that G&G will be able to produce a mount for it (Out of the 14,643,260 Kar98k produced during WW2 Approximately only 132,000 of these were to become sniper rifles due to the complexity of the tasks which could only done by a skilled armorer)



There is also the ZF42 with a magnification of 6X which as similar issues as the ZF39

Much better than shells indeed and you can always use Gewehr 43 mag pouch to hold your magazines (there is a similar problem with the tanaka magazine) - it is also a bottom loader as seen in the presentation at the shot show (around 13:38)

That was incredibly informative, thank you very much.

Yeah I just wished the "CO2 part" was bottom loaded, but instead the BB holding part would be top fed.

Guess it would be too good to be true :P
