Then like a lot of importers they got access to Russian Capture (RC) Kar98k's that were real Nazi Kar98k's that had been captured by or surrendered to the Soviets. HERE you can see my review of the Hawke Airmax 6-24×50 Compact rifle scope.ĭo you already know my international YouTube channel? HERE you will find videos of more powerful air rifles in English.They used to advertise Yugo M48 Mausers as "98 Mausers made with German machinery" blah blah, and fooled some people into thinking they were getting Kar98k rifles. I am looking forward to your first impressions! I have to make room in my gun locker.īut now I wish you a lot of fun with my video! But I’m afraid there’s no way to avoid Mauser. The precision meets all requirements.Īt the moment, I am still struggling with myself and our household budget. For me, the design is very consistent, and the quality absolutely justifies the price. I like the PCP version of the Mauser K98 air rifle even a bit better than the underlever one. Does anyone here have a suggestion for me? My conclusion

You should use one that looks better with the rifle. Of course, the Hawke Airmax 6-24×50 scope doesn’t fit the design of Mauser K98 PCP. Since I shoot the air rifle with a scope anyway, this doesn’t bother me. Especially if the rifle is transported in a bag or if the rear sight gets caught somewhere, there is a risk that it will get misaligned. The only thing I don’t really like about it is the rear sight. The dark beech wood stock is very nicely finished. Material and workmanship of Mauser K98 PCP It is a real pleasure for the ears, especially when shooting indoors. The shot is quiet thanks to the silenced barrel. The trigger has a precise trigger pull and an estimated trigger weight of 500 to 600 grams. The pellets can be inserted into the barrel without resistance using the lever. There is no jamming while repeating, and it works very smoothly. In the end, the hole in the target measured only 6 to 7 mm after 12 shots. I performed my first tests with H&N Field Target Trophy. I have mounted Mauser K98 on my new gun rest, so mistakes caused by shaking during shooting can be easily avoided. This doesn’t happen with Mauser K98 PCP.īoth the single-shot and the 12-shot drum magazine can be easily placed in the guide from the left. Other rifles have often the problem that pellets get slightly damaged during loading. This procedure works absolutely reliable. The pellets are inserted into the barrel while repeating. There is no adjustable cheek piece on the stock, but the target can be aimed comfortably with the rear sight and front sight as well as with a scope on a high mount. The front sight is surrounded by a front sight tunnel. It can be adjusted laterally as well as in height. In comparison to the original model, the rear sight is located a little further towards the end of the barrel. You can mount a scope on the 11 mm prism rail, or you can shoot Mauser K98 PCP using the rear sight and front sight. The safety catch is located directly above the trigger. Once the drum is loaded with 12 pellets, it can be shot completely blank without the need to use the safety mechanism again.
#Mitchell mauser k98 review manual#
The Diana Improved Trigger (DIT) has a manual safety mechanism. But due to the missing regulator, the performance drops quite a lot towards the end, so I recommend refilling the cylinder starting at about 120 bar. The capacity of the cylinder (200 bar -> 80 bar) was sufficient for 136 shots. Right in front of it is also the Quick Fill connector, which is not visible at first glance. The manometer is located on the bottom of the front stock.


This cylinder is completely hidden in the real wood stock. Mauser is a pre-charged pneumatic air rifle (PCP) and is equipped with a 100cc air cylinder. Technical specifications of Mauser K98 PCP I took the opportunity and got myself a test model. Several dealers have had it in stock for a few weeks now. It was introduced in 2019 but was not available on the market until recently. The first time I saw a Mauser K98 PCP was at IWA in 2019.
