Gun Stores to check out in Buenos Aires, Argentina?

Spending some time there, soon. Any interesting stores I should check out? More for the novelty of buying an accessory (holster, etc.) from Argentina than anything, I suppose. (I'm not interested in jumping through hoops to try to take back an actual firearm to the USA...)

Argentina had excellent steaks so I'd imagine they've got a lot of leather.

See if they have a nice bandolier

There are a lot of antique shops in BA, and lots of old gaucho stuff for sale (Chaps, spurs, holsters, that kind of stuff). And the leather shops are fantastic and making custom stuff - so it might be a good opportunity to have a custom holster or rifle scabbard made. You'll need to have either the gun or detailed dimensions.
