For Larry, King, and Greg, thank you. I could not have asked for a better demonstration of the mentality behind buy the name, or for a more revealing look at the mindset from which that mentality grows. My condolences, for you are destined to pay more for guns than is necessary and get less than you expect. Sad, but a choice everyone gets to make.

For wild skies, thanks for the comic relief of your harping on the seven pin 578. You have seen catalog pictures and pictures of any number of 7 pin Arrieta 578 shotguns which your own research turned up. I get a hoot out of watching your mental gyrations to avoid facing the evidence of your own research. Keep up the good work :-)

Getting back to more interesting things, that article (puff piece of the first order that it is) had several interesting things in it. There is a saying that Eibar was born in Barcelona, and the people who actually read the article may now understand why that saying exists and how very true it is.
