The AYA Nº 2 HAND DETACHABLE SIDELOCK is the pre-eminent “affordable” sidelock double gun, and the most famous model in the AYA line. Since its introduction in the late 1950s, tens of thousands of Nº 2’s have been sold in the United Kingdom, the United States, and everywhere that shooters value the superb balance and handling characteristics of a fine double gun. Mechanically, the Nº 2 is identical to the Nº 1, AyA’s flagship best model. Like the Nº 1, it was originally modeled on the time-tested Holland & Holland system.  When looking at “BEST GUN” features, the AyA No. 2 has them all, and wraps them up in a very well made, well respected, affordable gun.  Features like finely struck chopper-lump barrels, hand engraved sculpted action with beaded fences, hand-detachable sidelocks, articulated front trigger, removable firing pin bushings, long-tang trigger guard, finely figured European walnut stocked to the fences with drop-points, hand-checkered stocks all combine to make a very elegant gun.  This gun was built in 1977 and remains in 99% factory original condition, with 99% deep rust blue on the barrels, 99% blue on trigger guard, 99% case colored action, and 99% finish on the hand-rubbed oil finish on the wood.  The gun is mechanically excellent with 26” chopper lump barrels choked IC/M still tight on the hinge pin and breech face like a new gun, the ejectors strong and well timed, trigger pulls crisp…all in superb condition.  The wood on the gun is solid, with no cracks, most all the factory original finish, excellent checkering, and terminating in a 5/8” black ebony wood buttplate.  (WE CAN INSTALL A PURDEY STYLE LEATHER COVERED PAD WITHIN 5 DAYS OF PURCHASE IF YOU PREFER FOR AN ADDED $675.)  Weighing just 5lbs. 14oz. and balanced perfectly on the hinge pin, this No. 2 is ½ pound lighter than most!  You could not ask for a nicer gun for your upland pursuits or forays on the clays course.  This gun was built for the grouse and woodcock hunter, pheasant chaser, quail enthusiast with the perfect balance of 26” barrels and IC/M chokes.  The price for a new AyA No. 2 in today’s market is over $11,000 MSRP!  We considered adding the leather covered pad and increasing the price but thought that maybe someone would rather get a bargain on the gun just the way she is now.  We have priced this gun to sell so please don’t hesitate to call or she will be gone!  You can see all the specifications below.  Thanks for looking.
