S&T Armament Mauser Kar98K – Spring Bolt-Action Airsoft Rifle, Real Wood

S&T Armament Mauser Kar98K – Real Wood Spring Bolt-Action Airsoft Rifle

Genuine wood, substantial metal components and traditional bolt-action operation. A legendary military rifle recreated for historical airsoft enthusiasts.

The S&T Armament Mauser Kar98K is a spring-powered airsoft replica inspired by the famous German Karabiner 98 kurz, one of the most recognizable military rifles of the Second World War.

Combining a genuine wooden stock, metal outer barrel, functional bolt-action mechanism and traditional iron sights, it delivers the appearance and handling characteristics of a classic military rifle.

Unlike modern electric airsoft guns, the Kar98K operates entirely through a manually cocked spring mechanism. Each shot requires the user to cycle the bolt, creating a deliberate shooting experience that appeals to reenactors, collectors and historical MILSIM players.

Inspired by the Historic Karabiner 98 kurz

The original Karabiner 98 kurz, commonly known as the Kar98K or K98k, was adopted by the German military in 1935.

Based on the established Mauser bolt-action system, it was chambered for the 7.92 × 57 mm Mauser cartridge and featured a five-round internal magazine.

The Kar98K became the standard German infantry rifle during World War II and remained in widespread service until the end of the conflict.

Its distinctive wooden stock, long barrel and manually operated bolt have made it one of the most recognizable military rifle designs of the twentieth century.

S&T Armament recreates this classic appearance in a 6 mm airsoft format.

Genuine Wooden Stock

One of the most appealing features of this version is its real wooden stock.

Unlike imitation wood finishes, genuine wood provides natural grain, texture and a distinctive feel when handling the rifle.

The stock features a protective finish and is complemented by a metal buttplate.

Natural variations in wood grain and colour give individual rifles their own character.

For historical airsoft enthusiasts, the genuine wooden furniture is an important part of the replica's authentic appearance.

Metal Construction and Historic Details

The Kar98K features metal components throughout its external construction.

These include:

• Metal outer barrel

• Metal bolt assembly

• Metal trigger mechanism

• Metal trigger guard

• Traditional iron sights

• Metal buttplate

The front sight assembly is secured with steel pins, while the metal components feature a matte black finish.

The combination of wood and metal creates a convincing representation of the original military rifle.

Spring-Powered Bolt-Action Mechanism

The rifle operates using a manual spring-powered bolt-action system.

Before each shot, the user must cycle the bolt to cock the internal spring and chamber the next BB.

Pulling the trigger releases the spring-driven piston, creating the air pressure required to propel the BB through the barrel.

This operating system offers several practical advantages:

• No battery or charger required

• No Green Gas or CO₂ needed

• Straightforward mechanical operation

• Traditional manual reloading

• Deliberate single-shot firing

• Authentic bolt-action handling

The manual mechanism encourages careful aiming and thoughtful shot placement rather than rapid automatic fire.

Metal Bolt and Steel Cylinder

The bolt-action mechanism is one of the defining features of the Kar98K.

S&T uses a metal bolt assembly combined with a steel cylinder measuring 24 × 201 mm.

The internal mechanism is designed for repeated manual cocking, while the metal trigger assembly provides a solid foundation for the spring-powered system.

VSR-10-Style Internal Components

The Kar98K incorporates selected internal components based on the VSR-10 system, including elements of the piston, spring guide, barrel and Hop-Up arrangement.

This design offers practical options for maintenance and replacement parts.

However, the Kar98K is a distinct platform, and aftermarket parts should be selected specifically for compatibility with the S&T model.

480 mm Precision Inner Barrel

The rifle features a 480 mm inner barrel with a 6.03 mm bore.

Combined with the adjustable Hop-Up system, this provides a solid foundation for consistent BB flight.

High-quality ammunition and correct Hop-Up adjustment are important for achieving reliable shooting performance.

Adjustable Hop-Up System

The adjustable Hop-Up controls the backspin applied to each BB, helping optimize its trajectory.

Proper adjustment allows the user to adapt the rifle to different BB weights and shooting conditions.

This is particularly valuable in a manually operated rifle, where accurate single shots are an important part of the shooting experience.

Traditional Adjustable Iron Sights

The rifle retains the classic sight arrangement associated with the original Kar98K.

It features a front sight and adjustable rear sight, allowing traditional aimed shooting without additional optical equipment.

The sights also contribute significantly to the replica's historically authentic appearance.

Functional Safety

The S&T Kar98K includes a functional mechanical safety.

The rifle operates in single-shot mode, requiring manual bolt operation before each subsequent shot.

20-Round Polymer Magazine

The package includes a detachable polymer magazine with a capacity of 20 BBs.

The magazine is designed for standard 6 mm airsoft ammunition.

Its capacity provides practical airsoft use while preserving the traditional external appearance of the rifle.

Sling Attachment Points

The wooden stock incorporates attachment points for a compatible carrying sling.

A suitable sling makes the rifle easier to carry during longer events and complements historically inspired military equipment.

Realistic Dimensions and Weight

The Kar98K measures 1100 mm in length and weighs approximately 3175 g.

Its substantial construction and traditional proportions give it a convincing military rifle appearance.

The combination of genuine wood and metal components makes the replica particularly attractive to collectors and historical airsoft players.
