on a side note: Donster 125. IMHO isn't your M14 bascially a sniper already? as nice as a Tanaka Kar 98k is don't waste more money on it, if it breaks replacement parts are a bitch to find. Plus its not really useful on the field unless you are determined to play the role as a sniper.

i mean this in the most un-patronizing way possible but if i come across as seeming false and superficial, forgive me. I really do appreciate your concern on the matter especially considering the fact that, like i said, am a newb. That being said, i plan on joining the WWII re-enactors. So, since i would be an Axis soldier and since i love the Mauser and since i need a sniper rifle down the road, i plan on purchasing one. That being said, i wouldn't make my M14 shoot over 400fps as it is bad on the internals. the mauser will be able to shoot 450 with no strain whatsoever. as for the CA guns. you are most likely right, the newer stuff is generally more reliable (or should i say considerably so) than their old stuff. But just for myself and my own peace of mind, i think i will stick with TM. Besides, im going to purchase the 350fps upgrade from 007 airsoft, so it will be good-to-go once i recieve it. the only thing after that is a TB barrel.
Thanks again for your input on the sniper rifle. I have considered it thoroughly. My main answer is: If my grandfather, along with a vast majority of the soldiers in the Heer, and the SS could kick ass with the Kar98k, then im sure i will manage to use it for sniping. That being said, its obvious shortcomings as a main weapon is why i am so eager to use it as one via the WWII airsofters.
