Description:
General Specs: AYA, Year 2018, 28 Gauge, 6lbs 1oz, Chokes IC/LM, LOP 15", DAH 2 3/8", DAC 1 7/16"
Serial Number: 16-03-055-18
The AYA Nº 2 round Action is the pre-eminent "affordable" sidelock double gun. Mechanically, the Nº 2 is modeled on the time-tested Holland & Holland system.  Sidelock guns are made with either a standard action or a rounded action. In the former, there is a raised ridge surrounding the lock plate, and on finer guns, a drop-point carved into the wood behind the lock to give it a finished look. The underside of the frame is squared of where the bottom meets the side of the action…a bit uncomfortable to carry. Purdey is an example of such a traditional action.  In a rounded action, these features are eliminated. The underside of the frame is flushed with the wood and rounded for comfortable carry and graceful looks. There are no drop points, and no squared edges in either wood or metal. Thomas Boss of London is famous for its rounded-action game guns.  General Specs are:  Side-by-side hammerless sidelock ejector shotgun, forged steel action with double underlugs and beaded fences, fitted with gas vents, hardened steel intercepting safety sears, gold lined cocking indicators, double triggers with hinged front trigger. Finely struck chopper lump barrels with concave rib, engraving at breech.  All English scroll engraving is done by hand.  The stock is English style with a hand-rubbed oil finish, highly figured with a silver oval for initials.  This AyA No. 2, sn16-030055-18 built in 2018, appears to be unfired, with no primer rings around the firing pin holes, no sign of being shot or carried afield.  There is no wear on the barrels, triggers, trigger guard, checkering or wood finish.  All is 100% factory finishes without flaw.  There are two tiny handling marks nearly invisible on the right side of the butt stock.  The action is tight as new, bores are perfect as are the screws.  Weighing a delightful 6lbs. and balanced dead on the hinge pin with its 28” barrels and 15” long stock, this is a fantastic buy at nearly $2000 less than the same gun from an AyA authorized dealer.  With its IC/M chokes, she is the ultimate upland gun that would do well at sub-gauge sporting clays warming up for the fast-approaching hunting season.  The gun is cased in a top quality Rizzini hard case.  Thanks for looking and don’t miss out on this fine little 28ga. work of art.
