Parris bolt action rifle toy to Karabiner 98k modding (part 1)



I plan on repairing and modding it to make it look like a Karabiner 98k.


The toy gun is a 1:54 gun scale and i found it broken in half with no striper ammo clip and the wood smells like a fir tree.
The other half.

The first position of the bolt.


The second position of the bolt.


A ,,third,, position. A metal wood screw was inserted, so this ,,third,, was not posible this way with the screw inside the toy (the bolt action is a bit far away on the back this way to be normal).


On top of the other (the left hole goes over the right one) the parts where pined with a metal wood screw, scratching the wood inside.


Two cilinder places for mounting a telescopic sight are available, but the telescopic sight is missing. I may do a post-apocaliptic Karabiner 98k.

The trigger guard and its area is made from a metal or metal alloy.  The cartridge magazine will have to be hidden, to become a Karabiner 98k toy.


The trigger is not a metal or metal alloy.


Metal barrel with orange plastic tip removed, no iron sights. Rust was found inside, but you can clean it with machine oil and than protect it by painting it black. You can use oil base paint.


The front of the orange tip.

A cleaning rod my brother made, with a soft (some sort of bottle brush for hobby projects) and a hard surface (hot glue) on its ends. Another one will be made later on.


The soft end.
The cleaning rod hard part.


The upper bolt action areas is detached from the main wood frame.


The lower view.



My brother came with the idea that i may use a string and not the orginal (maybe original) wood screw. The wood screw moved inside until it reached a diagonal position (cartridge removal bolt position).
In the end, it doesen't hold for long. The string became loose.

I didn't find its original cartridge magazine, so i will try to make one from a laundry tong with a nerf ammo on top. On it and on the laundry tong, bits of magnets will be added to hold it on place, but the bolt action extractor will get and trow the nerf ammo away.

If i will choose not to use the laundry tong, i will put a small magnet on the nerf ammo on either ends, so the extractor (with a magnet) will extract it.
