There was a Sarasqueta floatin' around up this way a couple of years ago that was well known as being a "clunka".
It was a Holland style sidelock and apparantly looked a million bucks.
I have never seen the rifle in question.
I was told about it by a man who was very well respected regarding his knowledge on doubles, and this guy had actually once owned the rifle.
He told me that while the gun appeared to be well made when looking at external parts, the locks were in fact a complete disaster.
The tumblers were not alligned correctly with the strikers and he spent a fair amount of money getting a smith to try and make the thing work and there were also more problems with soft sears.
There was some problem with the barrels as well regarding a section of rifling land going awol.
I don't know, maybe this is the only lemon that Sarasqueta made and all the others might be fine.
Before I'd buy one though I'd want to have a real good look at how well the locks were made and also how well all the other metal work has been fitted.
