jackinbox99 41 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ive got one and love it. Nice solid gun which feels a lot more expensive than it really is. These days you can pick up 2nd hand ones for a very reasonable price. Quote Link to post
mjr88 50 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 +1 for the Lanber , a good all rounder that will not break the bank and will give many years of trouble free use , John Quote Link to post
chimp 299 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 i had one , smart guns for the money and i wish i never sold it Quote Link to post
samearl14 11 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 What sort of money are people seeing lanbers selling for at the minute? I only ask because im sure i saw theyre around the £800 mark new (correct me if im wrong) And iv seen several second hand ones now and none has been less than £600. But then if everyone rates them i suppose theres probably not many second hand ones about hence the high price. On a seperate note though the lanber did feel fairly heavy to me when i tried one out. Similar weight to my 686 with 32" barrels it felt. Quote Link to post
peter osborne 1 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well had police around today to check house and cabinet security said everything was fine but said with only having air rifles for 8 years I would need to go to a clay pigeon range and get some shotgun safety experience so has deferred my licence for 3 months grrrrr. The safety should be the same surely as a air rifle don't point at people broken barrel when walking an so on Quote Link to post
tegater 789 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have not heard that before with shotgun applications, although they often get conditions with FAC applications. I am not sure if they can actually do that, but its just whether you want to pursue the matter, or bite your bottom lip and get on with it. It would have been interesting what they would have said if there were no clay pigeon clubs in your area, and you only wanted to use it for vermin shooting. 3 months means nothing anyway, do you have to go to the club once in that 3 months, or 100 times in that 3 months!!! If they wanted to go down that line, a letter from a current certificate holder should suffice, saying that they have given you a lesson on gun safety. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 ive never come across that before mind id never herd of mentoring for new fac holders either could be something your local force is doing, you could fight that decision, and i belive win, but if its only 3 months why bother depends on you.

COMPO 54 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 a workmate came shooting with me......then wanted his own gun's and to take up shooting when his feo attended they asked to speak to me......basically they wanted to ask why he wanted to take up shooting, explained he would be doing a bit of pigeon and rough shooting and that he had come out with me and told the basics and they were happy I would have just stated you want to do vermin shooting and tried to find someone who could vouch you aren't a complete liability Quote Link to post
jackinbox99 41 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Never heard that before either. Maybe it depends on where you live. Price wise, the lanbers when I last checked seemed to drop in price a lot initially, then hold their value. I paid around 700quid for mine when I bought it a few years back which was full price. But I am sure ive seen them for around the 400quid mark 2nd hand. Check on guntrader and the other usual for sale places and see what prices they are fetching. Quote Link to post
