    Unhappy Help please.

    My Anics skiff 3000a, you know the one, the one that jams, has jammed dramaticly!

    Can't do anything with it. It's cocked and cannot get the mag out at all!
    All I managed to do was make it safe by blowing the CO2!

    Have tried and tried.

    Have no idea what to do yet. Bought it on here and have PM'd the seller. Don't know what he can offer or is duty bound to do, or if he is duty bound to do anything. I only had two shots.

    I would rather just try and fix the problem myself, but don't see a way of taking the thing apart, to get at the mag.

    All I can think of is that if these things have a reputation of doing it, it must happen to others too and someone may be able to give advice.

    Ta in advance.

    Ahh a jamming skiff

    A chap had exactly the same thing the other week , try to push and pull GENTLY on the magazine whilst pulling the trigger as most jams will free this way . Please make sure you point the pistol away safely if it still has a capsule in !

    Failing that, the "Armourer" on here seems to know a great deal about the Skifs.
    He may be able to help.

    Hi again,
    I have sent you a pdf file with the schematic of the a3000.

    It appears to be held together with pins rather than screws. Have a gander and see if it helps.

    Angry Ahhhh!

    Am trying everything. God knows there must be something!

    I'm just getting so frustrated now. I know if I could just get that damn mag out I could try a tighter pellet and I probably wouldn't have the problem again!

    But I'm nearly at the stage where I just want to throw the damn thing through the window!

    Dunno what else to do other than sitting here making the slide go back and forth to work on the hammer to try and wear down the stuck pellet.

    Problem is without xray vision I can't see inside to locate the fault.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    Talking Oh god yes I've done it!

    I've done it, I've done it, I've done it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank god for that, and it doesn't seem worse for wear either! (The gun that is and not my mental state!)

    Can see the offending little blighter of a pellet too!

    Good job I didn't throw it out of the window after all.

    Right next job. Empty the mags. Put em back in the tin and never let that tin of pellets near my skif ever, ever again.

    I heard RWS Hobby is good for a skiff. Suggestions anyone?

    Thanks so much for help by the way. Really appreciate it.
