Cameron gets his hands on the Diana Mauser K98. This beauty is modeled after the famous WWII German made rifle of the same name. With all the key features you'd expect from a high quality Diana rifle, the K98 will make a great addition to any gun collection.

Thats a damn good looking rifle.
What the fuck
Just bought the pcp version in .22. I absolutely love it. Mines shooting the H&N 21gr slugs highly accurately at 25 yards open sights. This is going to be my new pest control rifle. Really hoping to see a Garand, Mosin, G43, Arisaka, Enfield and even a 03 Springfield in a pcp soon!
I just wish i could hold that real one.....ok i am nostalgic. I will buy the replica. Nice explanation. Good vidéo.
An UMEREX P-08 Luger BB Pistol would go with this rifle perfectly.
Guardmn 7315 Yup, & the umarex mp-40...
Very nice Video! Hope i can get one for a review...
Great idea. But lacking the bolt. Diana should have done the g43 instead.
"authentic wwii mauser replica"? I wouldn't even consider it as a faithful reproduction.
Mauser disagrees.
Yeah
Its disgusting
It needs a faux bolt handle for cosmetic purposes. Otherwise, great idea.
frankly I loved the looks of this air rifle. it's based on the K98. reasonable price too
You are a great man keep up .good job
Best described as a nod to the original I would like one but keep hearing they are low on power
Dude! I've been into firearms half my life and I never knew about the fact carbines weren't considered military arms. I second the faux bolt handle.
Saying carbines were not considered military weapons is actually incorrect. Carbines were long used by artillery and cavalry arms of the military since the creation of shorter firelocks in the 16th century.
The distinction came from the fact that they were classed differently, and the Versailles treaty only allowed the Germans to have carbines.
The Gewehr 98B was Germany's answer to the Versailles treaty, and was a full length (for the time) rifle, it was defined as a carbine on a technicality.
The adoption of a shorter rifle like the k98k came from doctrinal changes in the German military.

@UCmopfdUxat_eFIAbvEJOy5w fair enough! It's interesting to see how carbine's were viewed in the era tho. They were understood to be defensive firearms, until the mechanized era came about.
Milsurps are fun, tho I can understand why you're not in them anymore. It's definitely a time and money intensive hobby to aquire a genuine piece, let alone restore and maintain a piece that is so often damaged or otherwise showing its age.
It is a genuine GI bringback, but has commercial import marks and a Mauser banner (also commercial) Something does not add up. Looks like one Mauser sold overseas before the war, don't deny was made in 1934, but the rest of the story is sketchy
Very cool Cameron ... what base Diana rifle are they using ??? would it be some thing like the 470 ???? I would like to see a more proper review of the rifle .... What I mean is spend some time with it on the range with different pellets and such to show its true potential as it seems to look like a great gun .... what would also be fun is to find a scope that looks period correct for it that could handle a spring gun recoil ....
Based on the 460.
Working on it! I love this gun so I really want to do it justice. I have a full review planned for the next week, but I only had the realy K98 for a few hours so I had to get this video out fast. Ill see what I can find on the scope. I think I know where to get something that might work. Thanks for your comment!
Great !!! Thanks Cameron
Sooooo... any chance of your full review?
We're still waiting for a full production model to come in. The one we filmed with is a pre-production model. In order to give an accurate full review we'll want to wait for that.
I don't care if it has the bolt since it would be none working but does it have the same length of pull of the real Mauser? I not sure if it was an optical effect but stock seemed shorter
is there a bayonet lug on this to put on an original k98 Bajonett?
I don not believe so, couldn't find anything that says yes.... that would be amazing though!
Hello, what sort of scope would have been use?and is there a replica out there to use for the Diana Mauser k98
As for the BB gun, I am sure it shoots very well, being from Diana, but it is certainly not a replica of anything
It's not a BB Gun.
I've both calibers on back order. Hope someone makes a reproduction issued scope for the rifles.
Im hoping the same thing. It would be cool to have one set up like Ed Harris' character in enemy at the gates.
Did he shoot his eye out?
Where itu sell..how much a price,, of unit,,???
what pellet u shoot at 1000fps in this rifle ??? 9.7 grains??
Price ?
Sorry but I think $400+ USD for a lever action, "single shot", caliber .177 pellet rifle is insane, even if it does look somewhat like a German Mauser. The whole bolt action assembly missing on the replica really hurts it in my opinion and that one thing alone would keep me from buying the gun. Now, if they went to all the trouble of making the bolt action assembly, even if it is only cosmetic like my Winchester M14 replica, I might spend $400+ if I truly wanted a Mauser replica however, with the entire bolt action assembly missing... it just doesn't resemble a real Mauser to me at all, sorry.
It's based on the K98. Price very reasonable. I wouldnt want an old club original K98
the price does seem ridiculous
will you post if you get the slings
We got the slings in! - www.airgundepot.com/german-wwii-authentic-replica-mauser-k98-leather-rifle-sling.html
We are over her mate👋
What distance was the "accuracy test" done at? I hope those were at 50 yards.
Yep, 50 yards, open sights, off hand. Im working up a full detailed review with 25 yard and 50 yard scoped groups. Hoping to have it up in a week or so.
Open sights, offhand - Pretty good shooting! Were you wearing a shooting jacket, and did you use the sling?
Look forward to the next related review! Thanks!
Wrapped the sling around my arm national match style.
Did you wear an NRA jacket?
Cool rifle and a trying knockoff yes, an authentic replica definitely not, Diana didn’t even try hard to copy it. Umarex or Gletcher should make a real replica of K98.
Umarex would do it up right
How much does it weigh? 15 lbs?
9.5lbs actually
I was in airsoft player like you but then I took a BB to the eye
World War One reenacting and history lol
You tryna be funny
No bolt no sale
This air rifel not hunting rifel only traget shooting and show pice only sir Have wait air rifel 5 kg
Hello,
I bought a Dina k98 (.22)
i finaly shot it last week but, it shoots to the left up to 15 cm ! (+-30 meter distance)
Is this "normal" ???
#Diana quality :/
Thanks in advance, Jan
Have you adjusted the rear sight at all? It might be way off which would explain it shooting that far off
I only adjust them for elevation (brought them down a bit)
The rear sight is put all the way to the left. It was like that when i bought it
Jan From Belgium it probably moved to the left in the box?
LOL, Yeah.. that will be it :D
Who had the dumbass idea to replace the bolt with that shitty rod? The only reason I would ever buy an airsoft K98 or Mosin is if I couldnt get a real one, but I would only get an airsoft version that is almost 1:1. That means that it HAS a bolt
Disgusting
Dont you just love the Yanks - A Diana 98K compared next to a rifle that isn't a Mauser 98K....
I am a Yank zippy, but I have to agree with you on this one!!!! LOL
Looks like a 98b to me?
whats up with your eye
Im partially blind in my right eye, so it just kinda hangs out and does whatever. Its great for scaring kids or messing with police officers when I get pulled over. lol...~Cam
These are complete crap
