Ah, Larry is indulging in the gun rag writers’ penchant for trying to make the pretentious sound important.
Gentlemen, any fellow who gives preference to a company based on how long that company’s name has been in use is just involved in a variation of “buy the name and not the gun.”

Ummmm.......Kyrie, we aren't a Spanish speaking country, at least not yet. I'm guessing most folks on this forum can't even read this thing. Why post something a majority can't even read?? Are you going to translate this for us?

I don't think it can be cut as finely as that, Kyrie. You can't say "any fellow" is "just involved" in buying the name if he is attracted to a company with a long and distinguished record of producing quality.

James Purdey & Sons, established 1814. Yep another of those "buy the name" deals. I'm sure they have not influenced anything in the shotgun world in the 200 years they have been around, and certainly not in Spain. And this is just one of the many English firms with well over 100 years in business and their guns are still in use today. But, it matters not.

After a century of being in business and distributing to a world-wide market, I find it amazing AyA only built 250 guns last year. Equally amazing is how they and the other Spanish doublegun makers can generate enough profit on their volume to pay their employees and keep their doors open.

Compare that to AyA's historic production numbers published in Spanish Best-that is really scary. It also makes you wonder how many Grulla made last year.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
