ANICS Magazine

[Josie & John]

I recently picked up a 1996 advert for the ANICS 101 that mentions a 26 shot magazine in addition to the standard 15 shot unit.

Has anyone seen or have one of the high capacity versions?

It may well be the company never went on to produce the 26 shot version but I thought it worth asking the question.

Hi John

I had a couple of the ANICS 101 never saw anything but the 15 shot mag

There is a Russian chap on that Auction site called izzygear Had a few seal sets from him , might be worth asking him if he has ever seen one

I know who you mean. I was wondering if any hi cap mags made it to the U.K.?

Thanks for your reply.

I wonder if the 'hi cap' mags were actually produced or were just a marketing idea that never came to fruition.

It’s possible, maybe it just made bb fall out more with high cap mag as I know they was prone to bb falling out if pointed down whilst firing because when you press the trigger, it pushes the barrel forward loading the bb

I believe you can squeeze 17-18 in standard mag

Had no idea there were so many and see you must be an 'expert' on the Anics . Had more than one from this list over the years .
The bb repeaters are ace . My A-101 was brilliant fun but went some time ago . I did like them but obviously not enough lol
Was over on The Bay earlier today and saw some wood grips for these .
Never knew such a thing existed or I might have kept mine back !

The wood grips are hard to find for the A101 I always found wood grips to be a bit bulky I prefer the standard grips

The rarest of the list now I believe would be the A201/202 revolvers

I actually missed a few off the list, list updated

I must admit I am a fan of the LB - Long Barrelled variants. Mine will generate just over 500 FPS with copper coated lead ball and accurately too.

Yes the extended barrel models have much better accuracy & increased FPS

Which extended barrel model do you have I like the A-101m & skif 3000lb

Atm I only have A-9000s & A-3000 skif

I have the A-111LB

I'm looking for a nice A-112 ATM.

Kind regards,

I used to have an Anics A3000 Skif back in the day. As I remember, the 28 shot mags took ages to load, and were pretty unreliable.

Had one too was well used and very much likewise in terms of functionality . Still pretty unique . The A9000 was a step up , tiny frame looked half the size , but not much loss in pellet capacity . Really nice and now so say very rare . As for the Anics Grips mentioned earlier went back to TheBay for a look-see . Am really tempted even though I don't have an Anics anymore ! ! ! Sort of airgun I'd find at a car boot fair for a tenner if only for this Covid . Then again Mak 654k used to sell for £65 quid new so maybe not a tenner anymore Oddly was on another thread here in Air Pistols section re grips . There used to be quite a few guys able and willin to make up a set of grips in exotic woods for air pistols . Have one , no two pistols with nice grips made by somebody . Facebook used to be a good place to ask . As for thicker grips , not on mine , really comfy slimline . That TroubledShooter has some on a Crosman 600 . Saw a HW45 with really slender exotic wood grips that looked utterly amazing . Missed a Schimel year before last that had wood grips on ! .

I have two A-9000s great little pistols, one is also very unique as it has “Made by JSC ANICS group for Umarex germany” etched on the top slide whereas the other one doesn’t I’ve only ever seen one with the etched lettering on top slide

Notice how the wood grips are a bit larger than the original grips

Sweet lookin grips them on the Anics . Look almost identical to the ones on TheBay .
The A9000 etching , I have seen this on some older Crosman and or Daisy . Same / similar UMAREX logo branded etching . Am guessing that this is for import and sale within Germany as UK gear does not have this . Over the years I have seen this sort of flash logo appearing on other overseas imported kit in Germany . Plus although not a HW man , am sure Hull Cartridge did the same with their UK imported German guns .
