- Apologies to my air rifle viewers, for reasons mentioned in this video I'm not able to spend as much time on the range at the moment.
The owner of this replica asked me to do some jobs on it so I took the opportunity to do a review while fitting the parts, more to follow.
I have to say that I'm impressed by this replica, I'd like one for myself. Is it perfect, well no but I did have to nitpick to find fault with it.
Denix - I'm impressed.
Soldier of fortune - these items impressed me too.

![MP44 DENIX - Video review [ENG SUB]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DO0WPbgS010/mqdefault.jpg)
Thanks for the video! Having not seen one in the flesh I was curious as to what one looked like.
Sorry to hear about your back problems, I'm currently suffering from quite severe lower back pain and the prescription painkillers stopped having an effect months ago and trying to get an appointment with a GP is a nightmare.
Take it easy!
Hello, thank you for your comment much appreciated 👍🏻. I'm glad the video was helpful.
Sorry to hear you have back pain too, it has been a nuisance trying to get anywhere with the NHS. If you are in the UK try getting referred to the pain management clinic. You have to go through the usual hoops of people offering "support groups" and CBT, but keep going and eventually you will see a good physio and hopefully get a treatment plan. Hope that helps.
My painkillers stopped working too, I'm waiting for a more permanent solution.
Hola Nick ...una replica .no esta mal ..los accesorios que le has puesto .le dan mas categoria .
Espero que la salud .te acompañe .y te encuentres mejor ...un abrazo ...
hola antonio Las réplicas de Denix no están mal y como bien dices mejoran mucho cuando se les añaden accesorios. Son buenos como piezas de exhibición, pero lamentablemente no son duraderos. Gracias por tus amables palabras, espero lo mismo para ti.
It looks great and all, but 280 bucks is insane.
Hello, thank you for your comment much.
The price is much cheaper than a deactivated rifle and also reduces the deactivated rifle market share - hopefully stopping the need for historical items being butchered.
You couldn't buy a live firing Mauser here in the UK without a licence, most people don't want to go through that process.
I have the same DENIX K98 and reproduction bayonet. I’m in the process of sanding the cleaning rod tip to fit into the bayonet. Wish me luck!
Good luck 👍🏻.
I'm working on mine at present, new video out soon with any luck.
@@nickvending9688 Looking forward it!
Let me know how you get on with yours 👍🏻
@@nickvending9688 Nick I sanded and sanded the end, it’s still too big. I may have to drill out the hole in the bayonet…
@REZNAP I've got a genuine rod that I'll be fitting to mine, hopefully I can get it to work.
Great video m8...where to start?....firstly I'm not a medically trained person at all....but your symptoms are exactly 100% of what I've experienced over the years. I played rugby for 30+ years retiring at 50. Way back in 2004 I was involved in a bad tackle which ended up giving me the symptoms you describe, it is in my opinion bulging or herniated discs in your neck . I to waited an eternity for the NHS to deal with me. I had to be fit for work so on the recommendation of a rugby colleague I was given the number of a manipulative therapist, (not necessarily a physio or chiropractor), she basically stretched and massaged my neck back into place over a year or so.....when I first went to se her I was in a chronic state, suffering from 'winged scapula' due to my injury, (you'll have to Google it). The upshot was after a couple of years, despite being told by the NHS never to play rugby again , I played for another 12 or so years. I do have relapses now and then but nothing compared to the first time, apparently the discs shrink as we age so they impinge less on the nerve, currently now I'm having a bit of manageable pain due to having the flu and sneezing a lot, so aggravating the neck area....anyway just a thought m8, I've been there. So the denix k98, looks good, a solid piece. I've a couple of repro bayonets , a k98 and an m1 garand and I like the quality. Regarding the sling , I've two deac k98s one with a repro sling and one with a genuine one on. Yes that keeper for me gets on your nerves when you shoulder the weapon. When I got my 2nd deac k98 I thought 'oh there's only one leather loop on the sling', ergo it must have lost one....I've read somewhere and I stand to be corrected that a genuine ww2 k98 only ever had one leather loop on itand its the repros that are incorrect 🤔🤔🤔. Everything leather repro is always hard to get into place, maybe work some oil into it?. I own two denix guns and they always seem to have 'something ' irritating about them, as you said the mag well?.....why not put a piece of plate in it, or paint it. They can be good value for money especially if the deac equivalent is out of a collectors pocket. Anyway m8 long comment so sorry for that, look forward to the next video on the rifle 👍👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻.
The pain is from my neck down to between my shoulder blades, radiating out down my left arm. My thumb and forefinger are numb, my middle finger is loosing sensation and the other two fingers are painful.
I've no idea how I did it, but it is likely connected to a workplace injury that I should have pursued but didn't have the claim mentality.
Glad yours improved, I'm hoping something can be done to sort mine out. I've contacted a chiropractor that I used to go to, waiting for them to get back to me.
I will have to ask the owner what he wants to do about the loops, I think he will stick with two because it makes it more user friendly.
Still can't get my head around the keeper, just seems to be in the wrong place but thinking about it I do have big hands.
I usually apply Neatsfoot to tight leather items, I thought about using it on the sight protector but it will darken it which may not be to the owner's liking - another discussion point.
As you say the Denix prices versus deacts far outweighs the small annoying bits, nothing that can't be sorted at home.
Don't apologise for the long comment, all must appreciated 👍🏻.
@@nickvending9688 thanks and best of luck with the project and if course the neck and pain problem.....my guess is you've got bulging discs in the 'C6-C7' vertebrae area, because that was my exact symptoms, pad of my ĺeft thumb went numb. I think but can't recall exactly but the main nerve being affected is the thoracic nerve.....I did do a lot of research when I was injured and I listened to how the medical people explained it all . I'd be curious to know your outcome....all the best of luck to you...👍👍🙂
Thank you, much appreciated. The GP mentioned thoracic, the MRI will be neck and upper spine. I know from a previous MRI that I've got deterioration in that area. The previous MRI also mentioned "disease" but I was fobbed off and told it was nothing... 🙄 I'll let you know 👍🏻
All the best.
@@nickvending9688 👍👍👍
I placed two 7.92 rounds in mag well to hide wood doesn't prevent you pulling bolt back and looks like mag loaded
Thank you for your comment much appreciated 👍🏻.
Did you dismantle the gun to put the bullets in there? Many thanks
@@nickvending9688 no they just dropped in two of them with a drop of clear glue looks good
@@robertrobertson4207 nice one, thanks 👍🏻
Would you say its worth buying? I want a bolt action but not a huge fan of the Lee Enfield, even tho the Enfield accepts real magazines
I've heard alot of complaints about the bolt
Is that the bolt on the Enfield or the Mauser? The bolt on my Denix Enfield has an issue with the cocking piece.
@@nickvending9688 So its borh of them then...hmm.. sad. Really wanted a bolt action denix replica
@@nickvending9688 what do you mean by problem with the cocking piece btw? Maybe you could do a video of the Lee Enfield denix?
@@nickvending9688 What kind of issue?
Have I missed something but what is it , is it .22lr or a pellet gun .
Sorry I just don't get it .
Hello, thank you for your comment. It is just a replica, it doesn't actually do anything except look like a K98. Apologies for any confusion. It is aimed at reenactors, collectors, museums etc.
@@nickvending9688
I've had several k98's including a .22 trainer single shot.
But like you say the cleaning rod , safety catch etc doesn't work.
But thanks for explaining.
No worries, apologies again for any confusion. I like the K98, just a shame about the trigger. It is a shame that Denix cast in some features like safety catches etc. but it would cost far more to make the various features work.
I have a soft spot for.22lr conversions of service rifles, always wanted a .22lr No 4.
@@nickvending9688
Should never have sold my k98 in .22LR it was in lovely condition but it needed a period scope on it .
Same reason I sold my SMLE .303 their a young man's gun .
Have subscribed.
I'm in the process of applying for my licence, would love to find a .22lr like that but will probably have to settle for the inevitable Ruger or CZ.
Period scopes, I'm constantly looking for that kind of thing for myself and for others but the prices of anything that even vaguely looks right have gone through the roof, they are usually knackered too. I'm now looking at dressing up modern 4x32 scopes to look right, almost perfected but still not quite there.
Thank you for subscribing, very much appreciated 👍🏻.
Can i put a bullet inside the rifle, even if didnt shot?
Hello, thank you for your comment. There is no chamber so no, a bullet cannot be loaded. You could maybe modify the wood under the bolt and glue a round in there.
Bought yourself a Christmas Present 🎁 then ???🤔🤔🤔
The slippers? Nah, they were last Christmas from Mrs V.
Those slippers 😖
I know, but hey they keep my feet warm. And they are made from recycled materials, so Greta is happy.
@@nickvending9688 Nice video, btw Greta is only happy when Soros gives her a check.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I am ashamed to admit that I had to Google Soros 😂😂.
Denix are awful.
They have their moments. Must confess though that their products are preferable to spending a fortune on a current specification deactivated rifle that has been completely butchered.
Just my 2 pennies worth.
@@nickvending9688 Did you ever get the bayonet to fit the K98? What sort of 4x4 did you have?
@@grahamthebaronhesketh. Still in the queue unfortunately - life has taken all my time and money away from my hobbies.
I had a MK1 Toyota RAV4. Sadly it had to go, there was nothing to weld to and the list of work made it uneconomical.
@@nickvending9688 The Rav4 was a good 4x4 in it's day, I am ex RCT and we always said Toyotas were way better than the Land rovers. Here in Gibraltar they convert Toyotas for the UN in Africa and wherever.
It was great, I really liked my time with it. Just a shame it decided to dissolve at a spectacular rate.
I tried looking for another Toyota to replace it, couldn't afford anything decent at a sensible age and mileage so I ended up with a Suzuki S-Cross All-Grip.
