Vintage Firearms Inc is pleased to offer this clean, delightful, 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 fine upland gun is an early AyA Model 4 built in 1980, it is serial numbered 546319. Weighing well under six pounds at 5lbs. 12oz. this handy side-by-side is balanced ahead of the hinge pin. The 20ga. chambering is known to be extra 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 face, have mirror bores, tight ribs, 99% factory blue, and are choked Light Mod and Full, complete with well-timed ejectors. The receiver retains 99% factory bone and charcoal case color, it has hand chiseled borders and light scroll around the pins and screws and is in perfect mechanical condition with crisp double triggers, auto safety and perfect screws. The European Walnut has straight grain and excellent hand cut flat top checkering and a checkered butt, the furniture features a satin oil finish with very few field marks. These are known to be highly reliable guns, and this one is nice and light and a joy to handle. This AyA Model 4 is priced affordably for a hand-engraved, hand-checkered gun-what’s not to like? Ideal for the upcoming upland and clays season. Thanks for looking!
