Agree with Lloyd on the weight thing. Comparing game guns, gun for gun, British doubles will usually be lighter than their Spanish equivalents. My Lancaster SLE, 28", goes just over 6/3 on my postal scale. Had a pair of Army & Navy boxlocks, 28", same weight. The only Spanish 12's I've owned in the same weight class were a pair of AyA #4 Deluxes, but they had the benefit of 27" barrels to shave a bit of weight. Lightest 12 I've ever owned--and you'd probably have to do some looking to find a lighter 12ga sxs unless you go to the Brit 2" guns--was a Lindner Daly Featherweight. Just barely over 5 3/4# with 26" barrels. The modern 2" Spanish 12's are nice, but a typical Brit 2"er will weigh about half a pound less.
