VSR kar98K Springer -Marushin & Dboyi Conversions

[Boshman]

In response to the numerous PM's and enquires I get regarding my Marushin conversion, I have decided to post so more pictures detailing the construction. I hope these are helpful to any felllow builders. Enjoy!

Gun broken down into its component parts. the two rings on the inner barrel are actually O-rings which act as barrel spacers.

The two main receiver parts after painting

These pics show how the upper handguard is retained by the front reciever section. also note the grub-screw in the outer barrel which sits in a small hole in the stock. this retains the outer barrel and stops it from rotating. Also note the cut-down hop unit block.






here you can see how the tail of the reciever is held in place with a small section of the original Marushin stock




Bolt end assembly. the very end section is held on with a grub screw so it just acts as a cover rather than having the main screw go all the way through and out the back.

This is an absolute work of art Bosh! You have inspired me! Thanks for posting details. Your work is outstanding, full of passion, and you pay attention to detail. Could you put some captions with picks explaining some of your methods? Again SPECTACULAR WORK. When mine is complete it will top off my SS impression. Thanks Bosh!

[Boshman]

Thanks for your kind words, I'm happy be of assistance! I have added some captions as you requested but just give me a shout if you want any more info.

BTW, I am currently working on a new version using a Dboys as a base which is going to have some nice new enhanced features

I have recently completed another Kar98 springer conversion, again using a JG-bar10 but this time using a Dboys K98 as the donor gun.

This was built as a commision for a friend and I went all out with this to try out some new ideas and to try to make it as realistic and close to the RS as I possibly could.

This includes turning down sections of the BAR10 receiver and adding an extra jacket to the breach section to make it the correct size, enlarging the ejection port and re-shaping the rear of the receiver.

I also added some authentic makers marks for a 1937 Kar98k from the Mauser-Werks AG Berlin Borsigwalde factory!

Fantastic job as usual. The receiver is looking mighty good! That must have been such hard work to complete.

This was the results of my conversion with a TM and Dboyi. Never got around to getting that rear site on, sold the rifle almost instantly after getting it in the state you see in the pictures.

Nice work you two. I didn't see this thread before. Looks like with D-Boys stocks and parts a VSR-10 adaptation is very possible and close to RS.

Boshman - your work is clearly a notch above. Nice tutorial as well. No reason any German can't do a Mauser now with a little patience and some modeling skill.
