Lanber Model 200 28 Gauge Side-by-Side Shotgun, 26-Inch Barrels, Fixed Full Chokes
This discontinued Lanber Armas Model 200 offers an uncommon 28 gauge chambering in a traditional side-by-side configuration. Built in Spain for Richland Arms during the late 1970s–80s, it features a color-case-hardened box-lock action, factory scroll and sunburst engraving, and double triggers. Its pair of 26-inch blued steel barrels are chambered for 2 ¾-inch shells and wear fixed Full chokes, giving the gun a tight, consistent pattern that appeals to upland hunters and small-bore enthusiasts alike.

What’s Included
- Lanber Model 200 28 Gauge side-by-side shotgun (matching serial numbers)
The Model 200 uses an extractor-only Anson & Deeley box-lock action proven for reliability. Manual tang safety and double, non-selective triggers provide straightforward operation familiar to traditional shooters.
Fixed Full chokes in both barrels, confirmed by markings and gauge, deliver dense patterns ideal for longer-range clay or game work. The barrels carry Spanish CIP 1 100 kg/cm² proof, exceeding standard SAAMI service pressure for added margin.
The color-case-hardened receiver displays simple scroll work along the flanks and a sunburst motif on the fences, lending visual character without excessive ornamentation. Matching blued furniture continues onto the 26-inch barrels, while a brass front bead supplies a clear reference point.
Oil-finished walnut furniture shows checkering on the pistol-grip wrist and forend for a secure hold. The aftermarket ventilated recoil pad extends length of pull to 14.5 inches and softens felt recoil from the lightweight 28 gauge platform.
