dunganick Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Maybe a lighter gun (although notin my experiance) i have found thte 391 to be one of the very best semi auto's at reducing recoil and my old mans one has lots less recoil than my lanber O/U does. (sorry to repeat this post, just making sure you have seen it) Edited April 20, 2006 by dunganick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Not fired a semi for a while, but i dont notice recoil with my Lanber A lady at my local clay club asked my other half if she wasn't bothered with recoil (she shot a 20) i gave her a few shots & she was surprised Fair enough, im built like a brick **** house & don't notice - but i think they take recoil well. I don't even notice any differance when shooting 3"mag heavy loads Tam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have never noticed much recoil on mine, perhaps you should give GMK a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

two-barrels Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 would there be more recoil than a spring airgun, if so a lot more, little more or less ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Two barrels I am surprised to hear that you are experiencling a lot of recoil with a 391. I shoot one and it is the softest shooting 12b I have ever owned or fired. I wonder if you might have a problem with the self-regulating gas system. In answer to your last question, you can expect a lot more recoil than a spring airgun, but the recoil on my 391 feels more like a "push" than a "kick", which is how my side by side feels. I would take Axe's advice and voice your concerns to GMK. All the best Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Apparently these need setting up properly. Wait for Martin, he will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I Have got a 391 extrema and have never noticed any recoil with it and I fire some fairly serious cartridges. 42g is not uncommon. I would speak to GMK or let someone else shoot it and see what they think. Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
