Smile Joseph Aguirre 1811

Hello fernando k. Thanks for that information , I do not have copies of these to look up , the Aguirre double gun is 48 3/4 " long with 32 3/4" barrels and is half stocked , the ramrod passes right through from the forend and between the locks touching the buttcap , possible because of the stronger stock and external mainsprings and the minimal stock removal compared to an English double gun , hoping to do some research on this gun including the possible link with aya guns which includes the Aguirre name ( Aguirre y Arazabal ) the gun has definitely survived in a great condition , I have not stripped it down yet or cleaned it at all . Best regards. Shinyblades
