Thanks to all for your much valued replies.... I have been given a full refund for the Lanber no questions asked by A Branthwaites in Cheadle Manchester, I have now bought a Browning 725 sporting from them and got an exceptional deal. For the record, The Lanber factory in Spain is now closed and GMK cannot guarantee a replacement gun.... If you are ever wondering where you can get a truely honest opinion for buying a gun to suit you the go to Branthwiates .... A+++

Thanks Guys, this was copied from the link above from aris...... Do you want a full refund? While you may want a full refund, you're not always entitled to it if they can fix the problem.... I think that's what I'm asking, how long can the problem be "fixed" before I can reject the gun for a full refund? Also do i need to buy from the same dealer?

Hi All, Thanks for all the replies but seem to have gone off topic slightly.... not really my question about Lanber going bust, was really asking for some possible legal advice on my rights to a faulty gun..... Thanks.

Hi, I bought a new Lanber Sporting Deluxe 2 months ago, Since then it has been back to GMK's for a new bottom ejector and for re-timing. The problem was a shell was passing the bottom ejector when loading the gun and once passed it was difficult to get out especially with it being a live shell!! The gun came back 2 weeks later and seemed ok but had developed another problem The barrell selector was flicking across when firing the gun, consequently every time i went to fire it I had to keep checking what barrel was firing ? (not good when you're supposed to be concentrating on the clays!!) I took it back to where I bought it and the Gunsmith checked it out and says there is a faulty spring in the selector and also the action was very "Springy" for a new gun.. ( Its only had about 750 shells through it) So now it's back at GMK for more repair work. MY question to all you knowledgible people is this... What are my legal rights with rejecting the gun?? do I have to keep getting it fixed under warranty or can I ask for my money back or a different gun? ( Not another Lanber!!) Thanks...... Howard

I've just bought a new Lanber sporting deluxe from Arthur Branthwaite's in Cheadle and they assure me that GMK will honour the warranty as they have enough spare parts for many years to come. First gun of my own, first comp on Sunday...... :unsure:

Hi to all, my name is Howard and I've just received my shotgun certificate courtesy of Greater Manchester Police.... Can't fault them, only took 3 weeks from application. I've only been to Worsely (Manchester Gun Club) as yet and I have a lesson booked for weds, but hoping to join Altrincham Gun club where a good friend of mine is a member. Not yet got a gun, borrowing his Miroku at the moment but got my eye on one of the following....Winchester select sporting II..... Bettinsoli De-luxe side plate...... Fabarm STL VS...... Fausti Pro Comp or Windsor. Any advice on which one to choose would be greatly appreciated or Indeed any other guns within a £1500 budget.. Cheers for now, Howard.
