Zabala Hermanos 12 gauge model 213 Spanish Side by Side Double 3 inch 32 in .684 Full & Full Left Hand Cast Very Good 1993 Production No Steel Shot Eibar Spain

Here is a very well made side by side. Manufacturer was Zabala Hermanos, S.A., of Eibar, Spain. From its M*2 date code, it was manufactured in 1993. Construction is entirely steel metal with exception of the alloy trigger, and Spanish Walnut stock and forend with rubber recoil pad. Type is box lock Single Selective Trigger double barreled shotgun, with split ejectors. Barrels are 31 13/16 inches, nominally 32 inch. Chambering is 12 gauge, for 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch shells interchangeably. This shotgun is NOT designed for steel shot, only an idiot would chamber steel shot in a gun like this. Muzzles are both .684 diameter full choke. Sight system is brass bead front on a serrated top rib. Trigger is .270 smooth faced, pulls slightly two stage at 6 1/4 pounds with minimal felt creep and overtravel. Safety and selector is top tang. Barrel or firing pin transfer is recoil activated, cocking on the breech. Stock drop is 1 1/4 by 2 inch, with 1/2 inch left hand cast. Our photographer is right handed and claims it points well for him. Length of pull is 14 1/2 inches; overall length is 49 3/8 inches. Finish is blued barrels, lever, safety, trigger guard, forend iron, and sling swivels; engraved white steel receiver; and semi gloss walnut. Weight empty is 7 pounds 11 ounces, centered at the front of the chamber. Surface detractions are moderate, principally edge wear on the barrels, toning on the receiver from palm contact; and occasional scouring on the wood. Note that the recoil pad is slightly off center to the right. We rate this shotgun as Very Good Condition, 75 to 80 percent vicinity by our estimate, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Recent importer stamp is inconspicuous on the underside of the left barrel. Bores, chambers, and mechanism are all bright and clean. Since the receiver face does not show any wear or brass residue, we estimate this shotgun was actually fired fewer than 300 times. Replacement pricing on Turkish made double barrels is upwards of $1,000 apiece, and European doubles twice that much. Nobody makes a 32 inch any more. We’re offering the Zabala in the photos, however, for only $ 459.00. 2% discount if payment is with USPS Money Order and Not Credit Card.
