Pic's of my Spanish Shotgun
Sharing pictures of another Spanish shotgun of mine. This one is made by Casa J. of Eibar, Spain. Haven't shot this gun in a long long time and I am thinking of using this gun for pheasant this year. I think Casa J. is a lesser known gun maker from EIbar who is no more in business.

Re: Pic's of my Spanish Shotgun
Nice looking gun,Herb. Eibar is/was home to a lot of gun makers who made guns of varying degrees of quality.Just too many from that place.Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Re: Pic's of my Spanish Shotgun
Vikram - Yes, lot of makers from Eibar from the 40's to the 80's till the DIARM experiment, this gun was made in the 80's and Spanish quality from that period is always suspect. The bores are in mint condition and action is very tight, should be okay for an occasional Pheasant hunt.
ngrewal - Here in Canada sometimes old guns come up for sale by individuals at cheap prices. Since this was a seven pin sidelock, I grabbed it to add to my collection although the quality is so-so.

Thanks guys...
Kasim - No, I picked this gun here in Canada. Bringing a gun over from India is not cost effective.
