Hi all, IMO lower price point guns imported from Spain in the 50's thru the 70's should be looked at with a bit of caution. Cosmetically, they may look great, but the internal parts should be checked. A lot of them had parts that weren't hardened properly, crudely finished and slapped together. Not all Spanish guns from this period can be called fine works of the gun making trade. Not saying that all are bad, the Spanish gun has taken a big hit in this area. But there is a reason for that, cheap guns are just that, cheap. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. It's too bad that Spanish guns have gotten a bad rap which they still have to some extent today. The Spanish can and do make some very fine guns, I'm the proud owner of some very fine Spanish guns, excellent workmanship and quality pieces. I have also owned some dogs of Spanish make, these are the guns that have given Spanish guns a bad name. So just be careful, looks can be deceiving.
Good luck in your quest for a 10ga gun, as Jagermeister said, Uggies and AyA would be the ones I'd look for, JMO.
Best!
Greg
