Well Kyrie, you didn't provide any links either. But to save the folks the trouble of looking at some of your treasures, I'll mention things you apparently missed in the descriptions . . . or chose to gloss over.

Zabala Hermanos, 12 gauge, ejectors, SST, factory cut for (Beretta) choke tubes, $500.

Aha . . . a BSA with a single trigger. Be still my beating heart! A decent old British name. Buy the original, with DT and extractors, and you'll be far better off.

12 gauge, looks like a 1960s gun, $425.

Also looks like it has a 12 1/2" LOP. A Spanish gun for a midget.

Ugartechea, 12 gauge, English stock, toe repair, $560.

Ah yes . . . the Elmer's glue repair.

Zabala Hermanos, 12 gauge, ejectors, 1960s gun (tax salvage import), stock showing some cracking at the action, $275.

Some cracking . . .

AyA 12 gauge, SST, FI gun, toe damage, $610.

Not only toe damage, but the typical Matador SST . . . which, if it's not the worst ST in the business, it's certainly in the running. The trigger usually works, but also often has creepy, crappy pulls. Old AyA's . . . stick with DT's.

Another AyA 12 gauge, SST, $499.

Same trigger as above. Same comments.



I stopped there . . . enough Spanish crap for one day. As for the comparisons to a W&S 700 . . . seems to me that would be more like bumping heads with an AyA 4/53. Care to do a price check on them, Kyrie? Kinda like cars . . . no problem finding a Ford Focus that's cheaper than a Lincoln Continental. But if you want to compare apples to apples, then you need to stick with apples. If you want to buy a BSA rather than a W&S 700, be my guest. And you'll get what you pay for.
