Up for your consideration is a very handy and nimble AYA No. 2 hammerless sidelock SxS shotgun in 20 Gauge in gorgeous condition. Q1 date stamp indicates a manufacture date of 1972.

This 20-bore is perfectly suited for the upland field with 28" barrels, 2-3/4" chambers, great choking (IC/Mod), great dimensions, and comes in at a very light 5lb-14oz!

The stock is an English style straight stock of nice straight-grain figured walnut with checkered butt, nickel stock oval and splinter forend.

The gun also has a Rolled edge, long tang trigger guard and Hand detachable locks.

The receiver boasts deep full-coverage intricate scroll engraving which was done by hand, typical of the No.2.

Metal condition is excellent with exceptional case color and bluing. Only very light finish wear on metal edges, typical of very light use. Bores are also excellent and bright.

Wood condition is very good with some minor handling marks, but no cracks, deep gouges, etc. Wood finish is intact.

LOP: 14-3/4" (front trigger to checkered butt)
DAC: 1-1/2"
DAH: 2-7/16"
Cast: Neutral
Barrels: 28" chopper lump barrels with game rib
Chokes: IC/MOD


$3750 shipped to your FFL.

Offers are certainly welcome, so please do not hesitate to reach out!

Happy to provide additional photos upon request as well.

Very nice shotgun!
 
In the style of Nash Buckingham, I can visualize getting off a horse to honor my dogs point on southern quail fields with this gun in my hands.
Dreams!
 
I’ve heard that the AyA factory has been shut down so these will likely become increasingly scarce over time. I have one and wont be selling it. Awesome double!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
