My friend wasn't too impressed by it, but I personally don't regret getting it, considering we don't really have much alternatives... He complained about the rear sight wobble, and how it doesn't seem heavy enough. (Although it is 9 lbs with the mag in, which is comparable to an actual kar98k weight I guess)
The ACM one seems promising, but we won't know till it comes out anyways.
If I can get it to shoot under 450 FPS by the end of this week I will definitely bring it to the WW2 game, if not, I'll have to use a stripped down modern gun for the WW2 game T.T |
Maybe I'm just used to heavy guns, Considering the price compared to the current "non shell ejecting" alternatives tanaka kar98. Only time will tell if the ACM Kar98 is any good. But I wasn't impressed with the quality of metal it's a soft alloy.
Magazine had a rough feel to it. Cast alloy with some machining.
Bolt cycle was really light as expected of a gas rifle, Probably 2 fingers is enough to pull the bolt back. I belive Hammer is cocked on bolt open, maybe I'm wrong I only held the rifle for a few minutes. Trigger pull could be lighter but it's passable it's a combat rifle not a target rifle.
Plastic faux cleaning rod ruins it abit. Rear sight has some play to it. Wood is run of the mill soft wood similar to the wood on my Daisy 753 rifle. I haven't held a real Kar98 and am only comparing the feel to a Real Mosin nagant carbine.
If indeed the G&G kar98 is compatible with RA tech Tanaka parts it may be a gun that can be improved via 3rd party modifications. Shims for the Rearsight, Real cleaning rod to replace the plastic one. Steel Hammer, Trigger sear and only hard wearing moving parts.
Aftermarket Green gas magazines would be nice *ACM companines take hint*
I want to weigh that gun, I swear it's lighter than my Type 56, I don't belive in the weight. The gun must be around 5-6 pounds and the magazine is around 1-2 pounds.
