K-98 bolt?

Gustloff Werke from 41? Is that a "bcd" code?

The safety tab looks REALLY tacky.

TWI--what variety of K98k (factory/year) did y'all base your model off of?

As a representative of 99,90% who don't care, next topic...

....

Am i the only who can't even tell the difference?

...but if you are, it might be better to post pic of the real thing from the same angle as the one in the screenshot.

yes, BCD is the one. Also I do believe there was an earlier number code too.

I also have a BCD 41. Very cool!

some of the later war safety tabs are like that....but I can assure you, the machining on my example is excellent.

That's cool! I've got a bcd45 k98 that's my pride and joy.

Can a brother get a red circle highlighting the parts in question?

What exactly are you trying to point out?

The safety tab is a bit blocky but that's got nothing to do with the bolt's mechanisms.

You guys would not make good investigators would you! The bolt is wrong because on the underside of the round part of the cocking piece the metal that engages with the sear is flush with the end of the piece. Rather then inset like on the real K98.

In real life you can barely see this piece.

Should be apparent here:


The biggest problem with the cocking piece is that it protrudes too far. Plus it's all wrong when you fire it, and have an empty chamber.

Also while we are nitpicking, all of our K98's are cupped butt-plate models, there would be a large number of flat butt plate rifles floating around in 1942!

you guys noticed the cocking peice is wrong but you didnt notice the front and rear bands are wrong? if you havent noticed the front band is a H type band, which is correct, but behind it a bit of the wood texture. This is wrong, there needs to be metal behind the H band because the bayonet lug was there. Also the rear band is wrong, the rear band in game is the later war stamped and welded type. those didnt show up untill late 1943. I needs to be the correct earlier war milled type.

Cocking peice looks fine to me besides the cutout on the bottom of it like you mentioned. Im surprised they even left the end of the firing pin in the white, which is correct.

Flat buttplates, cupped buttplates, walnut, laminated, all are correct for 1942/43. However the bands need to be either milled or speed milled.

the animation is totally wrong though. after you fire your last shot, the bolt should not be able to close and it should stay open as the follower prevents it from doing so. only after have you reloaded the 5 rounds will you be able to close the bolt again. Also another thing that erks me is when you fire your last shot and you hear a "click" signifying a dry fire, this is impossible because you never even recocked the bolt!!! Firing pin animation is wrong, it should be near flush when fired. only when you pull back on the bolt and recock it does the cocking peice protrude when its ready to fire.

one more thing, they went through the trouble to add the serial numbers and waffenamts to the MP40, MG34, G41, etc. but they didnt add serrial numbers to the bolt root, cocking peice, shroud and safetly?

I did notice the H band, we should also have Flat butt plates in attendence, seeing as the cupped came in about 41.

I have a huge list of bugs here in terms of weapon animation including bolt follower, cocking piece etc etc etc

You are not.

German mausers are overrated on belgian militaria fairs, what they dare to ask for a K98.....i can get myself 2 very nice other rifles for it

but i did noticed the same on my Czech VZ 24. it was issued to the waffen SS and it has a K98 bolt.

What is next? The distance between Pavlov's house and Zab's house not correct? Of by 2 meters?

Rivetcounters "to ze rescue"..!

Oh that. I made a post about that a while back in one of the beta preview reactions threads.

It doesn't seem to stick as far out as it did though.
