Was there any Spanish company that made a 10ga. on a 8ga. action?If so which one? Also what year did they make them?
A5guy said:The question was, "Is there a Spanish company that made a 10ga on an 8ga action?".
I know of two such makers, Eusebio Arizaga and Carrero y Astela, SA.
Other makers in Elgland such as Purdy and Holland & Holland also made 10ga guns on a heavy frame.
As to the years of production, I really can't tell you but Arizaga was making 8 and heavy actioned 10 gauge guns up until, at least 1972. As for the English makers, the 8ga pretty much disappeared when smokless powder came along.
