Mike -while nothing "directly" was said to put down Spanish guns, the title and subsequent posts sure set the tone of the discussion. Mr. Glenthorne's comment pretty much says it all.

"I think ol'King has a Spanish bone to pick? ...but I think your right, and will add the Philly Fox to the list."

In regards to the insides of guns, I think these two pictures are interesting. The first is an older Ugartechea and the second is a Fox. Personally, I did not think there was that much of a difference.

And for what its worth, I love Foxes, Parkers, and Ithacas, Elsies, Uncle Dans, and thanks to this board you guys even have me looking out for old hardware store guns.
