I ordered a Arrieta back in 1990 that was plagued with soft metal. That experience cancelled any interest I had in Spanish guns.

I shoot skeet with a couple of fellows who shoot Garbi guns and have no problems with them. I see some nice looking Spanish guns for sale at attractive prices. I am starting to reconsider my attitude concerning these guns. I suppose even with the cost of putting them right I still could be money ahead compared guns manufactured elsewhere. Would be a hassle though and destroy my confidence in the gun. Not sure if I can get over my bias.
