Good Points

Good looking.
Powerful (It will rip through 200 sheets of the Yellow Pages - I have tested this).
Accurate when sited correctly.
28 shot magazine.

Bad Points

It JAMS ALL THE TIME!
It JAMS ALL THE TIME!
The double action and single action is very stiff.

General Comments

As with the other JAM reviewers, I read great things about this Anics Skif A-3000 F1 pistol (shame I had not found this site first) and bought it. In the space of using 3 C02 cartridges and about 3 magazines of quality Bisley Pellets, the pistol jammed 11 times. Each time I had to release the magazine to find a pellet had become locked in the magazine somewhere.

I tried different pellets, and I was very careful to load the pellets correctly using the little loading pin, but still it jammed.

Whilst using the last CO2 cartridge the pistol jammed in a cocked position, the magazine would not release, and when taken back to the gunsmiths they could do nothing with it except send it back to the importers for repair.

Yes it's powerful, Yes it can be accurate, but what's the point if it annoyingly jams all the time? From the other reviews here it seems there are lucky and unlucky people.

It seems odd that some experience excessive jamming whilst others do not mention it....

When I get a replacement I will add a comment to this review if possible to let you know if there is any improvement. I was told by the gunsmith that in his opinion the Russian made pistols are not made to such fine tollerances as those manufactured by the Germans.

Thus far I would not recommend this pistol.

   “Yes it's powerful, Yes it can be accurate, but what's the point if it annoyingly jams all the time? From the other reviews here it seems there are lucky and unlucky people.”
   
   I don’t think it has anything to do with luck;
   
   Some pellets that are loose fitting WILL jam, but the gun will work flawlessly if using tight fitting ammo. When I first got the Skif I loaded it with Crosman Pointed pellets, which were loose fitting, and yes jammed about 5 times per magazine. So, I just tried a bunch of other pellets and now stick to the ones that work well. That’s pretty much it!
   
   
   When you get the gun back don’t EVER use the same pellets! Try Milbro Caledonian or Diabolo pellets (from CZ). When loading push in the pellet so it’s cantered in the magazine, because what really causes jams are pellets that fall out of the magazine. (also the gun does come with a barrel rod designed to ‘free’ the barrel of any obstacles.)
   
   Hope that helps.
