Any Opinions on the Bell Kar98k?

[Diemaco]

Looking at this on Taiwangun. Realistic enough at close quarters? 

Are they any good?  I'm mostly planning on using it in the back garden, but I'd still like it to be reasonably durable, and not fall to bits after a month.

My son has one. He loves it for the authenticity of cycling with the shells.

(Its NOT suitable for skirmishing)

Well made and nice wood.

Doesn't hold much gas but OK since its only 5 shots.

He can get around 10-15 shots from a fill

Should last fine as long as its well maintained (lubed & cleaned)

It's the spring version I was thinking about.

Ah ok.

Can't give specific help with that one but they seem well made. (Not exactly realistic)

Ok, so not really suitable for hanging on the wall then?

Just watched the Airsoft Mike review of the Double Bell KAR98 and it definitely would look good hanging on the wall.

The Snow Wolf or S&T one is better.  Doesnt have the shell ejection though which makes it skirmishable if you wish

The Double Bell is better made than the Snow Wolf.

I believe the G&G is the most accurate for looks but you'd have to be quite a nerd to tell the difference.

The Double Bell is certainly good enough as a wall hanger unless you're really crazy about having everything perfect.  Then you'd be better off getting a real deac

If you are going to have one, make sure it's a real wood one.

It will break.

They are not skirmishable.

They are completely inconsistent.

They do make a fantastic donor for a bar98 conversion.

I've had one, I re did the wood and re finished all the metal. It looked fantastic but it was still just a backyard gun. 

The spring one, btw is a push to cock bolt which is a little odd.
