Never showed this one before.
It is a 20 Ga. SxS made in Spain by Zabala Hermanos. ( The Zabala Brothers) It is kinda crude, but it works and shoots well.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's because The Zabala Brothers build working guns for killing rabbits, not pretty guns for breaking clays at the fancy country club. Very nice

Re: Never showed this one before.
Looks like a fine rifle to me!!
Re: Never showed this one before.
That is why I got this one. If it falls into the river, I am out $275, and not an Auto 5. Plus I love the double triggers, and the instant choke selection.Junk Yard Dog wrote:That's because The Zabala Brothers build working guns for killing rabbits, not pretty guns for breaking clays at the fancy country club.

Re: Never showed this one before.
Reminds me of my Brazilian Boito 12 Ga side by side. A real thrill pulling both triggers at once.

Looks good! I love doubles
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown
1943 Izhevsk
1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

The modern era equivalent of the old 1900's American Gun Co offerings and the Belgian imports.

Re: Never showed this one before.
I have a real soft spot for shotguns. Especially ones like this. Side by side double barrels have always appealed to me. It's the old time feel of them and the thought that besides the 30-30 and 22lr, shotguns have probably put more meals on American tables than most anything else.

Re: Never showed this one before.
There is just something special about a double. I don't have one, but keep wanting one more and more.
