When it comes to Spanish shotguns, older doesn't necessarily mean worse quality. I recently picked up a V. Sarasqueta sidelock 28ga imported by Stoeger back in the 50's. Bushed firing pins, chopper lump barrels, fine checkering. Used but not abused. She weighs just under 6#; triggers trip at 5#. That's a little heavier than ideal, but they're also very crisp, don't cause me any hiccups when I'm shooting clay birds. I'm going to leave them alone.
