I'm not a fan, but some seem pretty well made. Garbi, AYA and the old Arriettas come to mind, but to me the list pretty much stops there. But then I have not had the best of luck with them.

When did the Spanish guns get their bad reputation? I have seen literature from the 50s when the Spanish guns were well thought of. I believe some of the problems came during the embargo's of steel during the Franco reign. But I don't know the good years and the bad years of Spanish guns. I know they have gone though an up turn. I would appreciate any thought out help here. Thanks and please no praise for Ugartacheria I've had my fill of those.
