Skiff A - 3000

MrMarvin has these for sale, any comments from someone who has one or has shot one? Pro or con, feeding reliability, accuracy, fit & finish, etc.

If everthing went smoothly, just think how boring it would be.

Hi you cant gor wrong with it shoots good built like a tank like marvin said , not bad on the C02 either , only thing that took me awhile yo get use to was the trigger long pull on it but after a few shots you will be okay . I chrony it at 500 FPS plus with a fresh C02 , Personaly I think it's one of the harder hitting pellet semi's out there , also I heard that they will be hard to come by soon so don't wait to long.

If you live in the brampton are your more than welcome to try mine out :D but since you are going to get the gun from Marvin then you are in great hands.

I have one of these Russian 28 shot pistols. Bought 2 just over a year ago. It shoots better than my CP99(better groups) but has a heavy trigger. I have an extra clip and preload the pellets. All the talk about jamming is due to incorrectly loaded pellets. I use RWS hobbies as my main Skiff food but its been fed, cp's, beeman's, daisy's and others. NO jams, just care taken to seat the pellets into the mag as described in the manual.

I've shot it over my crony and mine shoots 400+ for the first mag and a half.
The fit and finish isn't up to par but its got a good combat feel and is loud.

Mine's a keeper but my friend is selling his (too loud for basement shooting at his place)

Any other questions, ask away.

We had one at work but couldnt sell it. It came to us broken from North Sylva many a year ago. No one knows who actually ordered it, so it was well over 3 years ago. We also couldnt sell it because it said it was rated at 520fps. So they higher management through it in the trash compactor. But wow, it was built like a tank.

Bought mine a year ago.

Apart from the relatively hard trigger I have no complaints.

No jams if you load the magazine properly.

Powerfull and lots of fun with the 28 round magazine.

It is built very strongly and is supposed to last a long time.

I have seen them lately at $ 199.-
