Hello all,
I am thinking of getting an RC K98 to do a 'replica' turret sniper (this will be for my display only, not to be sold on as an original like many others do!). I do want it to be as accurate to the original as possible in terms of configuration, so I was thinking of getting repro mounts, but hopefully an original scope!
My questions are:
1) Would it be easier to do a high or low turret sniper, and what manufacture/year of K98 would be needed for each type of mount? Is it byf for LT and ce for HT??
2) Repro mounts, where to get good quality mounts?
3) Scopes - would it be easier/cheaper to find a scope for a LT or HT - or is there no difference?
4) Safety/bolt - does this have to be changed/modified so the scope will fit?
Thank you,
Patrick
