In the end of these problems for potential buyers who want k98 here's my recommandation:
Are you going to skirmish with it?
Yes -> Tanaka
No -> Yugo M24 Mauser 7.92X57mm (firearm)
Are you going to shoot someone with it and expect they come out relatively unharm?
Yes ->Tanaka
No -> Yugo M24 Mauser 7.92X57mm (firearm)
Do you have a firearm license? PAL is sufficicent
Yes -> Yugo M24 Mauser 7.92X57mm (firearm)
No -> Tanaka
Are you willing to pay big bucks for a k98?
Yes -> Tanaka
Maybe ->RC (Russian Captured) Mauser k98 7.92X57mm
No -> Yugo M24 Mauser 7.92X57mm (firearm)
Here's the price list for those who don't know:
D-Boys k98: $375-425
Tanaka: $1000
RC Mauser k98: $600-1000
Yugo Mauser:$350
sry gotta say this.
Back on topic. Shells will dent really easily. and apparantly the real 7.92X57 shell casing is more solid than the D-Boys one..conversion is gonna be near impossible.
Shell extractor is crap, it wont always eject, basically when you recharge the gun, pull the bolt back half way, if no shell is coming up, push it all the way in like you would to close, and let it loose as the spring would push it back. Let it slide back to 1/2 way, see if its out, if not repeat. (some shell will take 10 times to get it out) as for the piece holding the bolt, email RSOV they can sell replacement for $6, I purchase it before from them. Finally, the shell needs to be lube or it will jam, use silicon grease, lithium grease works too. Appply enough to get the slipperly feeling, but not visable.
