Bobble Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi my nice shiny new lanber let me down about 3 times today when firing the top barrel. bottom barrel fires fine then top barrel failed now and again, it did dent the primer but not as much as the bottom barrel did. only shot about 500 rounds thru it and its still guaranteed just dont want to take it back yet! any ideas? thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterwolf Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Funnily enough my used Lanber sporting started doing that last week. Just dropped it back off at the gun dealer I bought it from to sort since it had a 3 month warrenty on it. Should get it back in a week, will try and remember to let you know what the outcome was once theyve had a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterwolf Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Gee! Lots of help for the guy with that thoughtful contribution! Must have taken quite a while to come up with that epiphany. Or is it because you perhaps own one yourself so thats the most sensible choice for everyone else ... Why not a bespoke gun from Boss & Co while he's at it?

deershooter Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Lets Just get things in perspective, Sorry but its true how menny people post on here that "my Berretta or Mirouko or Browning is playing up" you say that you cannot wait3 weeks to have it fixed? as you dont have time if a gun is that important to you you need to spend some more money and have some thing more reliable I have been here and got the T shirt I had problems with 2 Lambers,a Parkerhales and a Lincoln, in the end all three fell to bits bit by bit because I was putting 20000 shells a year through them. In the end I took the advice of the other people at my clay club who all owned better makes of gun and purchased a Berretta 687 silver pigeon. Its now had over 140000 shells through itand is 23 years old IU and has never had a part replaced I probably spent 1 1/2 times the cost of the Berretta on the other guns and repairs cheap is not alwas good If you purchased a new car and it let you down in the first few weeks you would be on to the garage like a shot You might do more damage using it, then the supplier might not offer a warranty repair. If its as new as you say ask for your money back the sale of goods act says it must be fit for purpose and of merchandisable quality, and match the sample as yours does not work you shuld be intitled for a refund do you not have a mate who could lend you a gun untill yours is repaired ?

TheHunter Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I can see deershooters point, if a tool is that important to you, you should have bought a higher quality item or have a spare. IMHO TH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I had a Lanber from new for 10 years and it never let me down. It is on its third owner now & still going very strong. I did not put 20,000 shells per year through it though ! Your problem sounds like a weak striker or short firing pin. Either way, a warrant repair job. Sometimes new guns have too much grease on the internals or something needs to bed in properly, which eases off after a few shoots.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobble Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 If I had the money I'd have alot of things but I aint. Its going back at some point but I'm going to see how I get on with different cartridges for now because I have lots of shooting to do over xmas. Lesson went well and the gun never missed a beat so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deershooter Yeah i can borrow a gun no problem but i like mine! It is a second hand gun but came with a 5 year warranty as GMK replaced everything on it but the stock due to a loose forend or somet like that. If i could afford a Browning or Berretta or both I would, but had read almost everywhere how a Lanber was a reliable, affordable alternative. 20000 a year? your spending 4k a year on cartridges! haha screw you recession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson went well and the gun never missed a beat so who knows. Some bettinsolis have this problem,random miss fires and its normally down to the rebound springs being to strong,a weaker spring tends to cure the problem,but yes take it back if a change of carts dos not improve things.The is nothing worse then a miss fire you feel like throwing the thing in the pond.
