I may be opening up a Pandora's box, but I need to get your opinion on the LC Smith side by shotguns that Marlin was selling that were made in Spain. I know the guns were not sidelocks, but boxlocks. Have there been any problems with the guns malfunctioning? I know they come with a single non selective trigger. My reason for asking is that Cabela's Classic Gun Library has some in 12, 20, and, even, 28 gauge for sale in the neighborhood of around $1400, give or take a couple of hundred. They also have a SKB 385 in 12 gauge with 28 inch barrels for $1900. I know about SKBs and seeing as how they no longer are making side bys this may be a much better buy.
