Buying used is almost always the better option. Advantages are numerous. Obviously cost, often quality. One often overlooked aspect is that it’s unfortunately not uncommon for a made to order item to not end up exactly as you want. Another is time when a bespoke gun can take 2-10 years to get built. Most of us are at an age where “time counts”.
The other side is that as we get older and more experienced, our desires get very specific. Some of the guns Ive had built have simply never been done before.
I’m not commenting regard Spanish guns specifically as I have little experience with them. Owned a few but not much use of them.
I will say that except for a few experienced gun traders, guns should not be considered an investment. Experienced gun traders don’t have guns built.
