Specna Arms Kar98K RETRO Bolt-Action Rifle - Real Wood
A spring-powered historical airsoft rifle with a real wood stock, metal construction, manual bolt action and VSR-compatible internal components.
The Specna Arms Kar98K RETRO Bolt-Action Rifle belongs to the Specna Arms Retro series developed in cooperation with S&T/AGM. The series is intended for airsoft players, collectors and historical re-enactment enthusiasts who appreciate iconic military designs and detailed reproductions of classic firearms.
The Kar98K is one of the most recognizable military rifles in history. Its distinctive silhouette and widespread use during the Second World War have made it familiar from historical photographs, museums, films and video games. This Specna Arms version focuses on authentic appearance, traditional handling and carefully selected materials.
Real wood stock and metal construction
The most prominent feature of the replica is its real wood stock, which gives each rifle a traditional appearance and natural feel. Because wood is a natural material, grain pattern, shade and surface details may vary slightly between individual replicas.
Steel, aluminium and selected plastic components are used throughout the construction. The substantial approximately 3.33 kg weight and 1090 mm overall length give the rifle a solid, historically inspired handling character.
The metal bolt features “byf 43” markings, adding an authentic visual detail to the replica. Mounting holes located beside the receiver allow a compatible scope mounting solution to be installed.
Manual bolt-action operation
The Kar98K is powered by a spring and must be manually cocked with the bolt before every shot. The operating sequence creates a deliberate and immersive shooting experience that suits historical games, re-enactments and players who prefer carefully aimed single shots over rapid fire.
A safety catch is integrated into the bolt mechanism to help prevent accidental firing. As with any airsoft gun, the replica should remain on safe and unloaded whenever it is not actively being used.
VSR-compatible internal components
The internal construction uses components compatible with the widely used VSR system, providing a more familiar basis for servicing and potential upgrades than a completely proprietary mechanism.
The rifle is equipped with a steel cylinder, a steel cylinder-head assembly with nozzle, a steel spring guide and an aluminium piston. These components create a durable foundation for the spring-powered mechanism.
Adjustable hop-up and long inner barrel
An adjustable hop-up allows the trajectory of the BB to be tuned according to the selected BB weight and playing conditions. The replica has a 480 mm inner barrel and an advertised muzzle velocity of approximately 116 m/s (380 FPS) with a 0.20 g BB.
For the best practical accuracy, use high-quality BBs, adjust the hop-up carefully and select a BB weight appropriate for the replica’s power level. Always confirm the measured muzzle energy and local field limits before use.
Practical 25-round magazine
The included low-cap magazine holds 25 BBs. Although this capacity is higher than that of the historical firearm, it is considerably more practical for airsoft and avoids the need for individual ejecting cartridges.
The magazine system allows the rifle to retain its historical appearance while remaining straightforward to load and operate during games and demonstrations.
