rabbitstopper Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Just added another shotgun to my list and got a Landber Deluxe 12bore m/c. First impressions was what wounderfull wood it had on it, also seems nice a solid and not too heavy either only put a few shots through, but chuffed to bits with it. Can't wait until i have a proper shoot with it James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Are you building up a private arsenal, or selling a few guns as well ? You always seem about to/or just have, bought a new gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstopper Posted September 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Only 2 shotguns, the SKB deal the other day fell through, was going to get the winchester but was a little too expensive for me. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstopper Posted September 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 In fact taking of building an arsenal, i fancy a nice .410 , anyone know of cheapish good ' uns James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Secondhand .410,s use to be very common, but I don,t see so many in our local Gunshop. 1)I have owned a single shot bolt actioned Webley. 2)A very nice s/s, ejector model,Spanish gun. 3)A 3 shot automatic, bolt action, American gun. 1) Nice gun, but all the problems of a single shot gun. 2) Far too nice to use, should have spent its life hanging on a wall. 3) One of the most useless guns I ever acquired. After firing the shot in the chamber, the "feed" would jam and you couldn,t fire the second (or third) shot. Following numerous trips to the gun repairers, the conclusion was that the action was incorrectly aligned. After I sold them all onwards, I realised that I never really had a need for a .410. I did shoot a spectacular "tower bird" partridge with the Webley .410. I was walking around the edge of a wood, next to a cabbage field, looking for rabbits. I flushed a small covey of partridges and shot one. It flew straight up in the air until it was almost a dot. Then its wings folded and it fell down, stone dead. Apparently, this happens when a piece of shot hits a certain part of the birds brain. The upward flight is all reflex action. Really weird to see.

rabbitstopper Posted September 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 I have had a similar experience to you Cranfield was with a crow though, which i shot with my old Falcon .22, right in the brain box, it knocked it off the branch fell for a little bit, then started flying with its head drooping for about 20yards then just suddenly stopped and fell James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 I have a Lamber also, it's a nice gun, more importantly was fairly cheap. The gun performs great..........but sometimes the bloke behind it don't..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 James I bought a new Lanber last year for clays - it's the 30" mc O/U and it's a great gun. I've out about 2,000 carts through it and expect it'll do for another few million, it just does'nt want to stop! One important thing though I had it fitted for me by a gunsmith - who also happens to be a retired cabinet maker who took 3/4" off the stock and shaped it for me. The difference was unbelieveable. I bought a S/S Sarasqueta ej. second hand, at the right price - 300 euros (less than 200 quid) and it's great for pigeons. I also had it fitted for me. I bought the cheaper gun for field work as I felt the Lanber may have been too heavy to lug around fields and I didn't want to damage it! Good luck with your new gun and do think to have it fitted for you. Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstopper Posted September 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 What size camber does the webly .410 bolt action have then, also when u open the breech after firing the shot does it eject like a normal bolt action rifle, or do u have to pull the cart out manually??

Cranfield Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Idon,t have a clue what the "camber" of the Webley .410 is. I don,t have a clue what the "camber" is. The bolt action was a basic..... bolt back, chamber opens, drop cartridge in, push bolt forward and turn. Fire gun, lift and pull bolt back,cartridge ejects. The safety, is the rear of the bolt action. After the gun was loaded, to diengage the safety it had to be pulled back against a spring, twisted slightly anti-clockwise (I think) and eased forward.

highdowns hunter Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Cranfield I think James meant to say CHAMBER not camber Please William can you add a spellchecker to this form fourm forum it will make life a lot easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meandassey Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Rabbitstopper, have you seen the new Sporting Gun? It features a Turkish .410 boxlock sbs which retails at 375, got a good write up too. Not cheap, but its brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Aha, thank you O,Wise One from the Desert. The Webley .410 was chambered to take the 3" Eley Fourlong cartridge. The bore was fullchoke. If William put "spellchecker" on here, I wouldn,t be able to understand a word BigDave posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
