manchesterpete Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Just wanted to say hi to everyone, thought it would be a good starting point rather diving straight in with the questions that are sure to come. Live in Manchester and recently caught the clay bug by going to Worsley for a little taster and ended up going for lessons and before I know it I had my safe and SGC aquired. Purchased my first gun Saturday just gone, I did a bit of research on here before I did and went with tried and tested 2001 Lanber Sporting Deluxe 12G, 28 inch barrels, multi choke, 3 inch chambers with steel proof barrels, fits well and i'm pretty chuffed. Not so chuffed on the initial outlay for the everything, all the gear and no money left for cartridges Still when end of month comes ill be back down worsley with a few hundred cartridges, cant wait to give it test run. Been selling everything in sight, still got an umarex walther cp88 and a beretta 92fs nickel to sell to put some money back in the kitty so might be down there sooner than i think.

manchesterpete Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Thanks all, not been on for a few weeks. Cheers Mikky I will keep that in mind always up for meeting new people and learning more. Andy1968, i got it from Chesihire Gun Rooms in stockport, paid a bit more than i would through private sale but fully expected too, well worth a visit and nice guys. Another good place i went ot yesterday was the Dog And Cartridge in Standish Wigan, a fair old hike for me yesterday (I dont have a daily driver so go everywhere on bus, im fortunate enough to live within walking distance of work) but well worth it, quite a good selcection of second hand ones, if you like side by sides they have a range from £100 upwards, very nearly purchased a couple of these but stayed strong.

manchesterpete Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 And a corection for the first post, its a 30" barrel set up not 28", as was evident when i compared it to another 28"er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
