500Nwhen you say Spanish, care to put more details
- ie a name, a calibre, type of gun - sidelock, boxlock ?
Depends on the price and other factors.
If their is movement now, even after a repair, it will only get worse as time goes on.
It can of course be repaired again, or of course re stocked.

Before you buy any double...
What game are wanting to hunt with your double???
How much money can you afford to spend???

big willThe Spanish double is an Laurona double which i was going to get made into an rifled 12ga. I was only going to used the action which would be monoblock with new barrels.I am only paying 300.00 dollars and would get an new stock in the future,so with some help to make up my mind.

500NWwll, I don't know the action but in view of the fact you said you will get a new stock in the future, the question I would ask is:-
Can you buy another gun with a good stock for a similar price of $300 plus what it would cost to re stock ?
And of course do you want to or do you like the Laurona action ?
Anyway, good luck.
