Man Kung MK-TCS3BK Sobek 80 lbs Repeating Recurve Pistol Crossbow with Magazine

The MK-TCS3BK Sobek is a rugged, well-engineered machine. It features a durable high-grade polymer body and compressed fiberglass limbs that provide an 80 lbs draw weight. This setup delivers an impressive muzzle velocity of up to 185 FPS (approx. 56 m/s), ensuring great accuracy at distances up to 20 metres. Ergonomics were a priority in this design; the adjustable shoulder stock and detachable foregrip ensure the crossbow feels stable and comfortable in your hands, regardless of your shooting stance.

The standout feature is the modular Picatinny rail system (22 mm). With rails located on the top, bottom, and sides, the customisation possibilities are endless. You can easily swap the standard iron sights for a red dot sight, add a tactical flashlight, a laser, or even an extra bolt carrier. The self-cocking mechanism is reliable and intuitive – simply release the safety on the stock, "break" the stock downwards, and return it to its position. The magazine automatically feeds the next bolt, and you are ready to fire again instantly.

Technical Specifications

Usage and Maintenance Tips

This crossbow is built for dynamic shooting sessions. It is not just about static precision; the Sobek is about the thrill of a high rate of fire. Its primary purpose is to provide an engaging and fast-paced shooting experience that traditional single-shot crossbows cannot match. It’s an excellent tool for stress relief or competitive fun with friends.

Fun Fact: The name "Sobek" refers to the ancient Egyptian crocodile-headed god. This is a nod to its predecessor, the "Alligator," signifying that this model is a more advanced "predator" in the world of pistol crossbows.

To keep your Sobek in top condition, follow these simple rules:

• Regularly wax the string and lubricate the rail. This reduces friction and prevents the string from fraying prematurely.
• Check the limb bolts before each session to ensure they haven't loosened due to vibration.
• Never dry-fire the crossbow! Firing without a bolt can shatter the limbs or snap the string, as the energy has no projectile to transfer to.
• Do not leave the crossbow cocked for extended periods to avoid material fatigue in the limbs.

Recommended Bolts for the Sobek

For the magazine to function correctly, specific bolts are required. The Sobek uses 6.5-inch aluminium bolts.

• Length: 6.5 inches (approx. 16.5 cm).
• Shaft Material: Aluminium (essential for smooth feeding from the magazine).
• Tip: Fixed steel tip.
• Fletching: Low-profile plastic vanes.

Recommended Accessories

To get the most out of your Sobek, I highly recommend adding a red dot sight for much faster target acquisition. You will also need a steady supply of string wax and plenty of extra aluminium bolts, as the magazine makes it very easy to go through ammo quickly. A dedicated padded pistol crossbow bag is also a great investment for safe storage and transport.
