The guns of Martín Ugarteburu (MU) are seldom seen here in the USA, other than the occasional 10 gauge box lock or the model 108 entry level side lock. That’s a pity, since he did some really nice work

Like just about all of the Spanish, pre-DIARM, artisanal shotgun makers MU made shotguns to every price point at which a market existed. As with all the makers, his higher price point guns ran from outstanding to stunningly beautiful.

When I’m scanning the auctions for Spanish shotguns Martín Ugarteburu is a name at the top of my “most desirable” list. Unfortunately it’s also one of the names I’m least likely to see, as relatively few were imported into the US.

Congratulations, you have just scored a Good One.
