Well, I guess I am the ignorant fool who is going to come out in defense of Spanish guns. While I like American doubles and have owned a Fox or two, I think (like many others) that the Spanish are capable of making very fine guns.
So, what puzzles me is why there are some who feel compelled to bash Spanish guns in order promote American doubles (which I also like). One thing that is "good" does not mean that another thing must be "bad."
So, why the comparison? As some one once said (and my memory escapes me as to "who" and I bet "he" would prefer it that way):
"Pensar'an vuestras mercedes ahora que es poco trabajo hinchar un perro? Pensar'a vuestra merced ahora que es poco trabajo hacer un libro?"
to which I would add...
"Y pensar'an vuestras mercedes ahora que es poco trabajo hacer una escopeta?"
Well, do you?
Finally, if the "gentlemen" on this board are "bothered" or "confused" by the use of another language other than English in this post, might I remind them that those very "lowly" Spanish words come not from across the Rio Grande, but rather from the book that the English government chose as their official ambassadorial gift in the late Eighteenth Century and early Nineteenth Century.
Here is your "ugly" Spanish Lady made from "soft" steel of course...
