If you want an out of the box K98 worth gaming, Tanaka is the way to go.
But for the $1,000 price range, lack of cold weather gaming and spare parts availability, I would personally say get the Dboys and mod a VSR-10 in there.
Mags are around, so are spare parts for the VSR-10.
I haven't heard of anyone breaking something on the Tanaka K98, but you never know in that odd slim chance something does...
Then what?
