Toys galore
I had an awesome long weekend, and got to mix 2 of my favorite things….Food and guns. I spent Saturday making a large batch of seafood gumbo and distributed it amongst the family. When Sunday came around I had some free time so I hung around an unmentionable gun store and ended up sniping a deal from the store’s cash for guns program. At the out of pocket cost of $30 plus a $50 value trade, I ended up walking away with 2 guns. The first was a Heritage Arms Rough Rider .22 revolver, a fun little plinker that depending on its accuracy may be my new small game season gun, and second was a 28" EAA Bunda. This was an interesting piece, I had never heard of Bunda before , but who was I to turn down that kind of a deal on a good condition 12ga semi-auto shotgun? So, after I got home and convinced my wife not to kick me of the house out for getting more guns, I started looking into this “Bunda”….and what did I find (aside from the fact that Bunda is some kind of Spanish slang term)? Nothing. Nada. There is no readily available information on this gun, the manufacturer, parts, anything!
I didn’t give up and eventually I found a PDF of the manual that shipped with it…..from this I learned almost nothing. Yes they had the manufacturer’s name and country of origin as an unpronounceable Turkish scribble. But at least I knew it was made in Turkey. After emailing EAA they confirmed it was Turkish and said that the manufacturer was called Serit San and was imported on 11/7/97 and retailed for $499 in 1997. So at least now I know something….I just don’t know anything that can tell me if it is a good reliable shotgun or if it will blow up in my hands the first time I shoot it.
Anyway, here they are….
The Rough Rider .22/.22mag
And the EAA (Serit San) Bunda
If anyone has heard anything about the Bunda, please let me know.
