Vintage Firearms Inc is pleased to offer this affordable upland gun from AyA, one of Spain’s premier gunmakers well known the world over for making solid, well finished guns. From the AyA website: The N° 4 has been AYA’s standard boxlock design since 1960. It is modelled on a Westley Richards boxlock action, brought to Spain by the King brothers. The Anson & Deeley action, the most famous of all boxlock designs, was created by two employees of Westley Richards in 1875, and ever since, Westley Richards guns have defined boxlock elegance. This AyA, sn511289 built in 1977, is a fine upland gun indeed! Weighing an easy to carry 5lbs. 11oz. and balanced perfectly just ahead of the hinge pin, you can hunt with this gun all day with little fatigue. The 20ga. chambering is known to be deadly on pheasants, grouse, quail, dove, woodcock and clays. The 27" barrels are of the chopper lump design, long heralded as the very best method of joining the barrels and utilized mostly in “BEST GUNS” from the likes of Purdey and Holland & Holland. The barrels are tight on the hinge and breech face, have mirror bores, tight ribs, 98% blue, and are choked Mod and Full with 2 ¾” chambers, complete with well-timed ejectors. The receiver retains 99% vivid bone and charcoal case color with hand chiseled borders and is in perfect mechanical condition with crisp double triggers, auto safety, perfect screws. The European Walnut has nice figure and excellent hand cut flat-top checkering. Wood to metal fit is outstanding and exemplifies AyA’s dedication to true craftsmanship. These side-by-sides are known to be supremely reliable guns, and this one is nice and light, and a joy to handle. This AyA shotgun is priced affordably, for a hand-engraved, hand-checkered gun-what’s not to like? A perfect gun for the upcoming upland and clays season. Thanks for looking!
