    Skiff 3000 air leak?

    Evening all.
    I don't usually visit this part of the forum as I only have one of the new Webley Typhoons and I gather they don't really qualify as pistols?!

    Anyhoo.

    My brother has a .177 'Skiff 3000' CO2 pistol. Smart looking thing with a twenty odd shot magazine. However it leaks all the CO2 out within a few minutes. There appears to be a neoprene seal up by the 'spear' which penetrates the CO2 capsule.
    From having a quick look, it doesn't look very user servicable.....

    Is it worth messing with?

    Where could we send it to get it repaired ?

    Am I right in thinking 'Anics' Skiff ?

    Any help much appreciated as it does seem to be a fairly well made thing..

    I like the DIY approach
    Try these for the seal

    If you still want to send it out for repair, Niel's Reputation is fantastic

    PhantomSniper,

    The UBC all looks like a real laugh and I might be sorely tempted.

    Watch this space (you never know, i might actually beat my HFT score )
