You know he is an honest man, when he isnt affraid to show he used the manual for disassembly

When I grow up... I want to be like Luke at negative airsoft... :) even though I'm already 35... great video!

Luke is like the myth busters but for Airsoft

I will always appreciate your honest commentary. Great work as usual mate. 🤘

"Think about the pain" Literally nearly puked, that now lives in my head rent free lol

This was my first airsoft gun I bought as an adult, I intentionally wanted a bolt action springer because I didn't want to worry about CO2, air tanks, or batteries, but I recently decided to take it apart because it wasn't firing and so many parts are damaged inside. It surprises me how much metal they used except for where they cheaped out on the inside.

I own one of these rifles. I can say that for the short while it was a decent gun! I had a lot of fun with it at my small outdoor field. Then the safety malfunctioned and wouldn't turn on anymore. Then the bolt wouldn't catch anymore. So I bought an upgrade kit and went about repairing it and changing things out. Instantly regretted it. Had to watch a Taiwanese airsofter take it apart and put it back together, even then it wouldn't work. Waste of money now.

Out of the box it's absolute shit, but I have one with the full TNT upgrade package including the barrel and hop-unit, and the SWIT airsoft wood kit. It's now a very decent gun that also feels very solid. Sure, it's not a VSR-10, but it's accurate enough to where I felt confident putting a Zf39 scope replica on it. It's now my main sniper rifle for WW2 games, and it lifts .45's without issue. I can honestly say that with fully upgraded internals (and not partly like in this video), it outperforms any other K98 on the market. edit: reading other people's comments, I see a lot of people have issues with these guns. This is really odd to me. I play in a group of 40+ players who exclusively play WW2 games, and we have 8 of these upgraded rifles. None of them show any issues. Then again, it's usually the people who have issues that vent their frustration on the internet.

I love your style man, detailed, accurate. Keep it up!

I appreciate the honesty. I know there is a lot of paid reviews going around on youtube. I've lost a lot of respect for a few youtubers lately

God bless you mate for uploading this. I just got into airsofting and basically I love to build and use costumized stuff. I'm the type of guy that puts on some music and actually enjoys building something for 6 hours and for me it is relaxing. And I love ww2 rifles like the 98k or the mossin nagant m14 ..ect. in my country there is a full wood full metal version of this alivable. I was about to buy it and put a 525fps vsr10 spring in there with upgraded piston and spring guide. Now here where I was about to buy it there is actually a brand that makes a stainless steel trigger assembly but for like half the price of the gun and they only sell the whole unit. So thanks again if I havent seen this video I would have bought it for tunning porpouses and probably would have blown up.

Here we go again. All the usual straight talking, straight to how it is, live with it or fuck off shit.... AND I LOVE IT! The only airsoft tech / reviewer I would trust with their Ewetube twoddle. SPOT-ON (again) and your time, effort and knowledge is much appreciated... I doff my cammo cap to you sir. Carry on :-)

I bought this rifle in 2020 and put upgrade kit into it the same year. It was not TNT, one of the domestic airsoft shops in my country, Czechia, had made their own upgrade kit. It's even cheaper than TNT, it costs equivalent to about 50 USD, however the quality is questionable as I had a problem with tolerances on the piston which I had to file down in order to not get it stuck in one position (and another guy I know who bought it had problem with tolerances on the angle sear or spring guide stopper, I can't remember, basically the trigger wouldn't let go of the spring for him, he solved it the same way, he just filed it down a bit). That being said, it gives me more or less the same performance as the more expensive TNT. After that, the bolt was a bit sticky, but manageable and it shot pretty well (it didn't have the greatest range, but it was still more than range of AEGs I encountered on the field, and it was extremelly accurrate, like... I once was able to shoot someone's boot sole of which only 1cm was out of cover and I shot it at about 15 meters). That being said, I replaced hop up rubber recently and it improved the range dramatically, but unfortunately the rubber twisted inside so now it hops sideways and I will have to readjust it. In fact I watched this video only because I was searching for the disassembly video (just to make sure I won't fuck up anything, I did disassemble it before, but it's better to be safe than sorry). At any rate, I'm no airsoft reviewer, but I would say this for a review. It's a decent gun for the money, and it's usable if you use the upgrade kit which is also relatively affordable. For WWII airsofters of Heer and SS it's a go-to weapon, because it's a K98 that's relatively cheap, available in large numbers (PPS K98 was always available in like one shop, they restocked it to 5 pieces, those were sold out in about two weeks and then it took about a year to restock the same amount, the rest of K98s were either unpractical or too expensive), doesn't require as much maintenance, is cheaper to operate (no gas needed) and works better in winter than gas rifles. The only flaws in the design I encountered are that magazine acts like stuck if the last round bolt open kicks in. because of that you need to use a bit of force to pull out the magazine and it really feels like you're gonna break something (don't worry, you probably won't). Oh also, it can can lead to unsecuring the spring of mag release. This isn't a fatal flaw which would break something, but it means that operating the gun afterwards is a bit tricky (you have to be aware of loose mag release) or it requires you to disassemble it and put it in place which is not ideal in the field. And the second flaw is that there is a lot of friction between the outer body of bolt and the receiver. This is what makes the bolt sticky (surprisingly it wasn't the uneven filed down piston which I was worried about), but if you use enough lubricant or if you use it enough times, it will get better. Basically: if you're doing Heer or SS rifleman loadout, this is probably the best choice for you unless you have pockets full of money. For any other airsofter, unless you really really want K98 and use it in field, buy something else.

hiya Negative airsoft, I know you mentioned the flamingo rubber, by chance have you worked with the Maple leaf MR silicone and MR silicone hotshots on gbbrs? I say this as I have had actually quite a great experience using those in my gbbr builds, and I pretty much exclusively gbbr.

Hey Luke, have you ever worked on/had experience with the Specna Arms SA-S02/03 (so the Specna Arms M40). I've heard it's TM compatible, not TM compatible and partially TM compatible. I haven't been able to find a lot of information which truly confirms how TM compatible it is and was wondering if you maybe know the answer.

I love the honesty. So many people think stuff is good because someone else said it is. Or because it has a logo on it so they look all tacticool. You show if it is dog shit or not without caring a toss what is stamped on the outside.

So what is the best replica of Kar98? As realistic as possible for wallhanger and some backyard shooting?

I was waiting for u !

Always a pleasure to watch. Spoilt with more KMFDM, though only a remix this time!

Always wondered if your channel name was inspired by Type O Negative (the green color scheme and all), and then noticed the Life Is Killing Me tat. Great taste in music man.

Tbh... Half the time I didn't even know what you talking about, but that's just because I am not actually into airsoft, I just a k98 for collection. But it is a very detailed video :)

Would be good to see you airbrush some age onto a faux wood stock at some point. What paint do you use Luke?

Hi do we need to modify the gearbox when installing gate aster v2 on krytac mk2? Love your videos keep up the good work and say hi to your snakes for me

@negativeairsoft luke I've a well mb03 would the flamingo hop rubber be the best one to use please

Luke have you any experience on the S&T SVD?

I have this gun what would you actually recommend to upgrade it or at least give it a little more range

I'd love to see you make some dedicated videos to review some guns.

I can only imagine "Timmy" screetching at his Monitor: "reeeeee! He insulted my favourite Airsoft youtube channel! Mom, can you write a angry letter for meeeee?!?!?!?" :D another great video, thx for that man!

TNT... I have a TNT barrel in my VSR10 and I think it might be ruining its performance. They basically tried to jump on the Tanio-Koba twist barrels train but made the rifling straight. Ignoring the fact that twist rifling basically ruins the hopup effect, what TNT did with their barrels is equally bad. They market them as 'tightbore' 6.03s or whatever, but they really aren't. You get so much air leaking past your BB in the grooves. Don't buy TNT barrels kids.

"Flamingo Rubber" is my new favorite phrase... 🤣🤣🤣

Can u make a video about gbbrs and what to Upgrade on them? Especially on WE guns, u seemed to like them in your know your airsoft Brand Video. Much love

What do you think of the Wolverine MTW? Would be awesome to see a vid of you going through one of those.

Is that Kittie I'm hearing in the background?

I picked up one of the swit upgraded k98s they do. With the tnt vsr hop unit it's a world of difference add the steel sear and its performance is quite nice. A vsr or my hpa striker still out performs it but it's consistent enough to do 250ft 10/10 on a human and can lob 280 290 with about 5/10 on a human. The hardest part about these is getting a good scope. The 1.5x scope g&g makes is aweful and it's very hard to use sense its such a small sight picture.

I've just put a flamingo in my ssg10 today but it seems to have the worst air seal of any at the nozzle 😭

I love these videos.

Do you know Reapers Airsoft Channel? Best reviews out there.

Thank you for this video. I’ve been trying to look at kar98ks but I don’t know what one to buy.. as I want something good

what's the best way to contact for work to be booked in?

New video! Time to grab some snack and enjoy the show...

Got to love the kittie background music.

Havent take my on the field yet after i upgraded it. But i got som nice part from airsoftpro. They also had their own uograde kit. Like a new hop unit with aeg barrel. But can agree its not easy to disassembly. SW scope for the gun is a joke. It tries to be a Z41. But they used a garbage cheap scope that have so short eye relief. And the Z41 is a scout scope with a loong eye relief.

The Gordon Ramsay of Airsoft!

My only complaint with this rifle is the safety on it, 2 games and now it can no longer go into safe... as in won't even move, tried fixing it but no luck

Negative Airsoft can you help me I am trying to upgrade a gun and no matter what I do it does not work

Upgrading a Well MB10 thinking its VSR-10 compatible was a massive pain, had to change pretty much everything inside and file down the hop up chamber etc...

Damn this song rocks..

I watch this upsidedown and didn't even notice

That kit actually came with a proper trigger shear. The customer probably lost it. TNT also make a hop + barrel upgrade kit, though tbh I think the barrel is worse than the original one. As for reviewers saying its VSR compatible, maybe they 're mistaking it with the new S&T Kar98 that according to S&T is, though in actuallity that is not either. As for the take down, TNT have published a take down guide on their youtube channel, and as a novice that litteraly used to only own this very gun, taking down and putting back together again was not hard, especially by the 5th time I did it. Hell I even did it during a game day once, in the field on a piece of Zelt. Just my 2 cents.

Well said just caught this blog just placed a wood stock on my snow wolf only really use it for photo ops really looking for a good alternative kar 98 for playing serious game play

Is there a decent firing, reasonably priced, sniper out there ?

is this the real or faux wood version?

lovely looking rifle, never trusted any youtube reviews, love your rips of whats real though. would still buy tho looks lovely :)

Looks good!

5th

I'm curious as to why you dislike the ares striker so much, I've owned a couple and had no issues another than the cylinder, but that's an incredibly easy fix and pretty cheep fix.

"breaking pretty quick" Me after I rip off receiver "no shit"

I bought a pre upgraded snow wolf 98k for about 400$. After i had it for a while i sold it for 450$ and bought a real 98k for 200$ and used the remaining 250$ to buy ammo.

Quality as always!

Is the G&G G980 also wank?

What do you think about bolt action rifles by Novritsch?

What about the MG42 from G&G? That one looks fakkn sick don't lie

When there are no bullets in the mag, my mag keeps stuck in the gun. Any help?

7/10, you need to call out the spunk-trumpets who are lying about it by name to get the drama over 9,000 though.

Kar98 looks so good

I bought this just because I love the k98 and mostly use it as a wallhanger

Thats f*cked up , I completely understand why you are heated. Just think about it , you are only one of the hundreds of people who were fed false knowledge thus making you out to be an asshat because you’re getting a good, paying customer’s hopes up. To hell with those “know it all” you tubers. Even though I’m 99.9% positive that that rifle will still be a beast of a gat after your fingers do their thing ! It’s still not tm compatible. Thanks for the quality content , keep up your reviews and staying true ! Cheers from Los Angeles

KITTIE - safe..... good song!!!!

so i owe a cyma thompson m1a1 is that also a bad ww2 gun?

It's only compatible with AA and TNT parts AA doesn't even have a hopup unit. So if you want a full upgrade it's TNT parts only: Hopup unit, barrel, piston.

Oh gnarly! Cool

no wonder I had a customer asked me if I would work on one of his recently. He said it wouldnt shoot for crap. this would require some custom barrel work to get it to work right. maybe some lead tape around the piston ir a custom machined heavy weight piston. dont think it would be worth the money. The only Kar98, if I were so inclined, I would own would be the gas (c02) powered. Hey hey now.,..my striker is a beast..of course lots of custom parts...

Snowwolf are the ones telling them there vsr 10 compatible I got sent a review unit from them and that's stated in the talking points packet provided by the manufacturer I found it's only comparable with there vsr 10 not others

when i put the mag in the kar98k, the bolt wont move foward, anyone knows what the problem might be?

Gordon Ramsay of airsoft

Finaly, some honest salty review. Instant subscribe.

i got a double bell k98k and its pretty cool

Wait, the Striker is bad? Aw, damn...

Please review GAndG G980

i can confirm, the sear is absolute trash the one from TNT is too.

Same “iT’s Tm CoMpAtIbLe” with the Ares Striker. Neither AEG not TM bucking window in the OEM barrel. It pisses me off so much!

I'm from germany and here is the problem, that there is a SW Kar98K and a S&T Kar98K. Yes, there are the same guns... but no. Everybody here on YT is saying, that S&T and SW is the same company, so the guns have to be the same. But the S&T Kar98K is a new gun, which is TM compatible. the SW one is not (it's the one in your video). It's so hard to find any infos, because everybody thinks "oh, it's an Snow Wolf, so it has to be TM compatible."

This guy is the Gordon Ramsey of airsoft

I'll have to check out the flamingo rubber, been pretty happy with the new maple leaf autobots(the clearish ones) but it's also fun to mess around with guns I still like my striker though 😭 although I've changed everything fuckin on it to get it to work right 🤣

"Known" shills........can guess who THAT might be...... Negative Airsoft. Giving us the straight gen. Any chance of a quick(ish) video on airbrushing wood-effect to make it....more......wood effect?

I have one thats stock and it shoots really nicely. QC on these cheap rifles varies massively so this guy may have just got a lemon. I am happy with mine. Also, there is an updated version that may have fixed some of the issues raised here

I like ww2 guns, the problemis if there are airsoft versions out there they are limited with internals. WinGun M44 Mosin has a beautifull co2 mag bit it has a fixed hopup, but why. The S&T Kar98 springer is also solala, the triggerunit looks like a tm but it has somediferences also there is no 90° trigger for it, even the hoppup unit is not tm compatible, the spring and piston are tm comp but you have a smaller air volumen. The AGM Stg44, how i wanted that one, the problem, the internals are crap, total crap. I would love to get my hands on a good upgradeble ww2 airosft, preferebly the Mosin.

Nice Video👍 dont thrust on upgrade , do Not believe everyone upgrade recomendation ... i hade issues ( Other rifle ) on tm too. But to many fu.** words, i didnt count them 🤣🤣🤣

okay but whats a GOOD airsoft k98?

Yeahh Kittie!!!

*cough* airsoft Mike *cough*

I know that you really know what you are doing. But boy you hurt my engineering hart when I saw the way you just kinda randomly put the parts on the mat when disassembling. but hey you do you

The piss is on a rolling boil with this one 🤣

A quick overview of this rif after spending about a month trying to get it sorted. There is two version. The old one with a scope mount under the iron sights will take tnt parts. The new version with reciever scope mount will Not take tnt parts as far as I'm a aware. If you plan to upgrade the old version. The piston and trigger is easy. However the hop up is a pain. Mine kept shooting to the right constantly. It's an issue with the hop up arm and the outer needing to be positioned perfectly whilst you screw the two Allen keys together. If you plan to upgrade this be prepared to have to take a good deal of time to get it all working. When it does work, it's decent little rifle however. It feels great in hands and once weathered honestly looks very nice. Even though it's stressing me out to get it working. I'm still glad I got it.

My Missus says be sounds like Will from The Inbetweeners 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just @ them!!

yikes one of my buddies wanted this thing, super glad he didn't get it

oof new glitch in intro hella SLICK

Who dat

Real Lee Enfield, yeah, good laugh, cheap to get and as long as it's rechambered for .308/7.62 and not .303 it's easy to arm...airsoft Lee Enfield? Jog on mate. Unless it's a full WW2 skirmish you would get shredded
