This AYA No. 1 16 Gauge side-by-side is a true best-grade Spanish sidelock—hand-finished case-colored action with border/scroll engraving, double triggers, and lightweight straight-grip walnut stock deliver classic London-style refinement in the sweet-spot 16 bore. At just 6 lbs 7 oz, it’s built for fast, instinctive pointing on walked-up grouse, woodcock, quail, or light driven birds—perfect balance and minimal recoil.
28" barrels with Full and Improved Cylinder chokes offer excellent patterning versatility for field loads. Double triggers and tang safety provide traditional control. Checkered walnut straight grip stock fits beautifully—14 1/8" LOP, 1 1/4" DAC, 1 7/8" DAH, 10mm cast-off—with a blank oval initial plate in the toe line for a personal touch.

Excellent condition: vivid case color and engraving, bright bores, tight lockup with only minimal light handling marks from very light use. Mechanically flawless—smooth, reliable AYA craftsmanship. A rare and desirable AYA No. 1 in the classic 16 gauge—best sidelock performance, lightweight, and outstanding original condition. Ready for the field or as a high-quality addition to any collection.
