I was over in Spain a year ago visiting gun and ammo makers. My impression was that gun sales volume has fallen quite a bit since 2008. The major shotgun makers are now concentrating a bit more on their higher end offerings where they have more margin.
The big question is the Euro situation. Within my personal memory, the cost of an AyA 53 boxlock has increased six fold. Some of that is due to inflation, some to reaching more up-market and some to the adoption of the Euro.
It will be very interesting to see what happens if Spain drops out of the Euro zone and readopts the peseta at a 50% haircut (the only way they can manage their national debt).
