The simple yet refined scroll and border engraving on the case-colored action pairs with an ultra-light 5 lb 3 oz build, offering effortless swing and pointability for quail, grouse, woodcock, or light clays in a compact, fast-handling package.

The 27" barrels deliver dense Full & Full fixed chokes for tight patterns on small, fast-flying birds, with 2 3/4" chambers accommodating standard 28-gauge loads comfortably. Stock dimensions—14 5/8" LOP, 1 1/2" DAC, 2 1/4" DAH, and 9mm cast-off—provide a quick, instinctive mount ideal for right-handed shooters, while the straight grip walnut stock and checkering remain in superb shape. The engraved oval initial plate marked “CRC” with “2000” adds personal history and character without detracting from the clean, classic lines.

Condition is excellent with only slight handling marks from careful storage/use: vivid case colors and engraving preserved, metal finishes strong with no significant wear or damage, bores brilliant, and overall presentation near-mint for a 2000-era AYA No. 4/53. Mechanically flawless—smooth operation, tight action, and positive ejectors reflect the model's renowned durability and quality craftsmanship.

This AYA No. 4/53 is a standout shooter and collector's piece—rare in 28 Gauge with such light weight, excellent preservation, personalized engraving, and late-production status. This lightly used gem with year-marked history offers exceptional appeal and value for the discerning small-gauge wingshooter or AYA enthusiast.
