Alabusa Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 My father has a side by side 20ga he bought in the 1960s made by G. Zabala.Has always functioned perfectly until a few years ago one of the firing pins either broke or lost a spring. Now that side won't fire.Is it worth fixing? I have read they are a lower end shotgun but my father loves it. Any info greatly appreciated.

Cougar_ml Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 worth paying someone else to fix if you plan on getting rid of it? Probably not. Worth fixing for sentimental value? probably. I don't know that much about them but it doesn't seem like it would be all that complicated to repair. If both sides use the same firing pin and mechanism, you have a good one to use for reference and a decent machinist should be able to make a new part in relatively short order, provided the shotgun isn't impossible to take apart without destroying.

It's always good to get to know your local gunsmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windowasher Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Shooter or wall hanger? I'd fix a shooter, but I don't own any guns I don't shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Tiger Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Was googling an image of this shotgun and I found this: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/zabala-spain/side-by-side-zab It looks like they sell some parts for these.
