A gun store near me sells Grulla. They look really nice. I used to shoot skeet with a buddy of mine who had a Kemen. That was a nice gun, too.

AyA's although not the best finished guns in comparison to some others are mechanically and materially wise in the top 3 in my opinion .
Ugartachea's although mainly a plain gun ,are a good solidly made work horse and I have every respect for them .

No, they aren´t.

The question asked by ed good was about Spanish boxlock gun makers.

Yes. I said I realize that now. They do speak Spanish in Brazil, but that specific gun isn't considered Spanish. That is why I originally asked. Thank you!! 😊

If you weren’t ignoring me, Jimmy, you would learn that Portuguese is the language spoken in Brazil.

You ignore a lot of things.

Ignorance, is bliss.

Best,
Ted

And by the way... for those who don't know it- in 2005 Brazilian President, Lula Da Silva, approved a bill to make Spanish the country's 2nd language. 😊 Now can we please get back to the subject, ed started before anyone else makes any silly comments.
