New AYA No.1 Anniversary
      #168169 - 22/09/10 12:52 AM

Hi all, I thought you may like to see some pics of my new AYA 2008 50th anniversary model which I got today. Ordered in 2008 (surprise !) it arrived yesterday. I am very happy with it, swings nicely and weight will be good for live pidgeon shooting. I will try it out on Heliz (ZZ´s) on thursday. Maybe a bit too open choked but with modern 32-34 gram loads should be good












best
Mike

Magnificent, Mike! Like all your guns, I must add! You are a gentleman, sir, and here's wishing that you find many more treasures and enjoy hunting with them!

Thank you for sharing these lovely pics!

Glad to see they have not included a tang safety like the new Purdy hammer guns, (a bit redundant in a hammer gun). What are the barrel lengths and how is it choked ??? Enjoy

Don't you think if you want the Purdey without the tang safety they will oblige? It's a bespoke gun. (Not that I could afford one)

Mike, nice addition! There's something really enchanting about exposed hammers. It's no wonder there was so much resistance to the onslaught of hammerless guns in the late 19th Century.
