Gunshop Barcelona

[Dewald]

Good afternoon,

Can any member recommend a gunshop to visit in Barcelona. I’m still here until the 30th. Going to jump off a high building if I have to go along one of the wife’s food or cooking tours again.

Ps. On the train from Barcelona to San Sebastián they confiscated my spyderco pocket knife in check in luggage. Seems quite extreme here. The X-ray fortunately missed the leatherman…

I can’t recommend a gun store from experience, but I can recommend architectural sightseeing.

I found online an “Armeria M.Roca” not far from the upper end of La Rambla that has some Westley Richards and other doubles in stock.

@Nyati may have suggestions, but I believe he lives in Madrid which is a fair piece from Barcelona.

Thank you,

Its exactly 1 mile from me. I’ll go look at that WR Drop lock. Not sure the .458 Sarasqueta will be much to get excited about, but maybe there are some other gems

Right, I cannot recommend anybody in Barcelona

Do I detect a whiff of Castilian impressions of Catalonia?

I found the place 30 min before they closed. Speaking Zulu for three minutes to the dear Spaniard behind the counter is also the best way to convince him you are not a British or American tourist and beg you to speak English…

He did briefly show me a WR boxlock with southgate ejectors and disc-set strikers (not the one on the website), but it definitely met a buffing wheel in it’s life and I wouldn’t be surprised if the barrels were also honed out. I’m not enough of an expert to tell if it was a Spanish knock-off but I wouldn’t buy it.

Sorry, not worded correctly, just came back from RSA after a 24h+ trip and in need of sleep.

What I meant is that generally I would hardly recommend any gunshop even in Madrid, so much less in Barcelona where actually I don´t know anyone.

I did have some good contacts in Barcelona when we started IPSC in Spain, but that was decades ago.

It's ok. I have some friends who are Yankees.
