Just a quick update on the Ugarteburu 115 for those who have asked. Picked it up yesterday and thankfully was not disappointed. It is in virtually new condition. It looks like someone ordered it back in 1952, shot it a few times, and then stuffed it in a closet for 75 years. Literally everything on the gun is pristine. I don't have a huge amount of experience with higher-end sidelocks (I'm in the boxlock extractor tax bracket) and for some folks it may not elicit much excitement, but to me it is a stunningly beautiful gun. As an added bonus it even came with a cool old original leather leg 'o mutton case that is also in perfect condition except for the leather on the straps, which is old and cracked and will need to be replaced. But the case obviously has been used about as much as the gun itself, which is hardly at all. Checked function with snap caps and everything works properly. I'll shoot it this week to see how it's regulated and choked, but really happy with the purchase, especially considering prior to this I was 0 for 3 on gambling with Cabela's online sxs purchases. I think the Cabela's clerk was shocked when I said I'd actually take this one...
It does have some cast-off to it, which as a lefty I expected, so after my funds have recovered I'll send it off to have the stock bent and the chokes opened up for quail if needed (which I suspect it does) but as an introduction to Spanish sidelocks, I'm very happy with it.
