Lantac where have all the rifles gone?
As anyone been on the Lantac website recently as it seems to be missing all of their rifles apart from the competition one? As Paul moved to the States as it seems that everything is focused for the American market?

Is there also any word on that system they were supposed to be making also? I thought moving to the states was supposed to make doing that for the uk and restricted states like CT and NY more easy and cheaper? And plus your'e right. Maybe they're winding the uk operation down to an extent and its just gonna be a place for receiving stuff imported from the US?Zilberbak wrote:As anyone been on the Lantac website recently as it seems to be missing all of their rifles apart from the competition one?

Re: Lantac where have all the rifles gone?
Last time I spoke to Paul he had quite a lot of new things in the pipeline and seemed reluctant to want to built new rifles on the old parts, but was in no-mans land with them... they were designed and tested but yet to be built as I recall.
It could be that he's making way for new offerings, or as you suggest, he might just be swamped with the amount of work and interest he's getting in the States. The dragon has given Lantac a HUGE name and a massive piece of the market over there, as you can imagine, UK market is small-fry when you're up against the yanks who'll buy anything gun related :(

True, was the system he was designing for jurisdictions that can't have semis but be able to have something close mentioned at all?TattooedGun wrote:Last time I spoke to Paul he had quite a lot of new things in the pipeline and seemed reluctant to want to built new rifles on the old parts, but was in no-mans land with them... they were designed and tested but yet to be built as I recall.

Haven't spoken to him in a while, and I think I covered everything that was mentioned in previous threads... basically don't hold your breath but there is something in the pipeline. probably best to forget about it and when it arrives it'll be a nice surpriseSixshot6 wrote:True, was the system he was designing for jurisdictions that can't have semis but be able to have something close mentioned at all?TattooedGun wrote:Last time I spoke to Paul he had quite a lot of new things in the pipeline and seemed reluctant to want to built new rifles on the old parts, but was in no-mans land with them... they were designed and tested but yet to be built as I recall.

Re: Lantac where have all the rifles gone?
True, from what I hear, a good few different ones are coming (a well known RFD confirmed one he's going coming and said call back for more info in a few months). Sometime tell's me we're gonna go from having two systems to a bit more from different companies in a while, but competition is good at the end of the day. Glad to hear the move has done them well. is the dragon brake really that good though?TattooedGun wrote:Haven't spoken to him in a while, and I think I covered everything that was mentioned in previous threads... basically don't hold your breath but there is something in the pipeline. probably best to forget about it and when it arrives it'll be a nice surpriseSixshot6 wrote:True, was the system he was designing for jurisdictions that can't have semis but be able to have something close mentioned at all?TattooedGun wrote:Last time I spoke to Paul he had quite a lot of new things in the pipeline and seemed reluctant to want to built new rifles on the old parts, but was in no-mans land with them... they were designed and tested but yet to be built as I recall.

Re: Lantac where have all the rifles gone?
Well its good enough for full auto, it'll be good enough for what systems we get. Also why are handstops like the Odin works thing and the like starting to become popular. One minute it was VFG's, then AFG's and now Handstops. What gives?TattooedGun wrote:Go look on youtube for yourself....

Lantac might make great products but it's their marketing that's really second to none.
