I remember seeing an Arrieta catalog that had a heavier SXS, for competition. It may have been a #601?. Has anyone ever had any experience with these?. How much would they weigh compared to a #578?

The two AyA mo. # 56 I've handled have been very nice as heavy pigeon guns. I think WLM had a 601 Arrieta about a month ago, but cannot recall much about it.
You might contact Jack Jasma ( wingshooting adventures), I'm sure he can give you a complete rundown on Arrietas.
- best regards,

KMcMichael,
If you are after a heavy sxs for competition, the AYA Nº56 is the one that come first amongst the Spanish hand made shotguns. There are five AYA distributors in the US that might help you.
Regards, EJ.

KMc,
Read my post on the AYA topic about my friends experience with his mod 53 he bought for clays.
IMO, if Arrieta has a heavy gun by form them not AYA.

Gerald, I understand whay you meant now. I did post to your other thread. I must disagree with you on my extensive experience with my AYA. I understand that it is only one gun but it has been great.
I believe all Spanish guns are the same if you pay the same. I like Arrieta because of many of thier free options is what I like, so I have purchased more of those.
I did check with John Boyd regarding the 601. He replied that it is only 4 ounces heavier. That is not heavy enough for me. I am restocking a Sterlingworth at the moment and hope that is will suit my needs.

Would they make it heavier if you requested. Noticed on another board where Arrieta made a 7 1/2 pound Model 570 in 20 gauge when requested to do so.

I have a friend who is having a 3" Arrieta duck gun built. It is a three fastener gun and he's hoping to take delivery in June. This is a one off gun.

I know that Grulla makes them as well if you ask. I had a Grulla and it was a very well made gun. It impressed a couple of English smiths that examined the gun. There is a great article on them in the latest DGJ.

Unless humble beginnings of this Co. bother you (in 1970s they made O/Us for subsidiary of Mossberg!)  why not pay extra and get Kemen 'Paralelas' with 32" tubes and removable trigger group. These can be seen both at Fieldsport and Armas Kemen site. It's put together like an American car of the 50s.

My pal Bob had a heavy 3" duck gun built by Arrieta. Arrieta got the action forging from Arizabagala (sp ?) as they didn't have one that would work. It is quitely beautiful an it's only engraving say, "Au Train Lake Special" It kills ducks.

I have a Garbi 103A Special, that was made for someone as a Live Pigeon gun, I believe. 30" tubes choked .030 and .040 with crosshatched rib. It is on the heavy side but handles well, with dense well figured wood. I found it at Champlin Arms, so they are out there.

SRH, the Garbi weighs 7 lbs 10 oz and yes it does have a safety. It has a15" lop to a wood checkered butt. Adding a recoil pad would add a few ounces

Thanks, Nitrah. That's getting real close to true pigeon gun weight.
Nice configuration.
Best, SRH
