On a slightly different twist to this, I bought two Spanish boxlocks via Britain in the last year for very little money. An AYA and an Uggie. I wasn't looking, but the prices were irresistible.


I have been shopping for a Spanish sxs and was amazaed at the relative pricing between the Spanish guns on the UK market and here. Even after factoring in exchange rates, importation fees, etc., there is a 20%+ discount for the same gun selling in the UK vs. in the US. Anyone looking for a reasonably priced Spanish sxs should check out the UK market. The only downside is a bit of a what to get the gun into the US.

It struck me as odd that the Brits discount these guns so much, given that many of the UK makers are importing Spanish guns under their their own labels now.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
