CWI Airsoft announced that the ROC Chiang Kai Shek Shell Ejecting Rifle will be available by August 2012. This is a 6mm, Gas Bolt Action in metal and real wood materials. It’s  also called the Chinese 98 Short Rifle or Chinese Type 24 which is based on the Mauser Standard Model 1933 which evolved into the Kar98k. When the Communists won in China, they later renamed this as Type 79 or the Zhongzheng Rifle and removing the ideography of the Generalissimo.

Collectors and Chinese Nationalists (and airsoft players belonging to the KMT), can get this for US$706.86. Photo above showing a Chinese soldier guarding American Flying Tigers' P40 Fighter Planes with the rifle during World War II (Photo source: Wikimedia Commons)
