I own an AYA No.2, which has a silver action rather than colour, hardened. It is a classic game gun and used as such. Some years ago I purchased this gun (2nd hand) and placed an advert for a position in a pheasant syndicate. I joined a local shoot but by chance a gentleman, who has mistaken my advert for that of a shoot requiring an additional gun, contacted me! The shoot that I had joined was still looking for one more member so I was able to meet with the individual and in turn introduce him to the shoot captain. He fitted in and so was invited to join. As he was shown around the shoot, conversation turned to guns and I remarked on my purchase of the AYA No.2 - its was his own former gun and by pure chance our paths had crossed!! He gave me a full history of this gun and the game he had bagged. As we walked back up a steep incline he lost his breath and needed to pause. It transpired that he has had cancer and lost a lung but was in recovery. He didn't live to start the next shooting season, but I felt privileged to have met the former owner, shared some time and memories and in turn was able to carry these memories forward with this fine AYA No.2 side lock.

The AYA No.2 Side-by-side 12 bore is closest to an english s/s. Sold all my guns but could not get myself to part with my no 2

My father was chief mate in the merchant marines and was in Spain in 1964. He picked up a SXS there very close to a No.2 but with a little better engraving. I have shot it since then (I was in the 5th grade then, it did recoil) Still have the gun, it's not for sale. Always hit where I looked.

AYA No.2
A superb gun all round. If you have ever gone out on a vermin day or a beaters day you would know how much effort it is to carry all your stuff around. And when you have a big heavy gun you feel like your arms are going to fall off at the end of the day. So the AYA if perfect for a general gun have 26inch barrels 1/4 and half choke your well away. I shoot very well with the gun even though i cant stand side by sides. But this gun is truly amazing it will bring the best out in all shoo ...

My AYA No.2 Side-by-side 12 bore was bought by my uncle in the early seventies. It cost him just over £100 new. It is basically a copy of a Holland and Holland Royal. It has 28" barrels choked improved cylinder and half. It handles like a dream, just right for walked up game or rough shooting. Being relatively light, at just under 7 pounds, it is more suited to instinctive shooting, such as a rabbit bolting from a bush, or a pheasant or woodcock suddenly appearing from cover. It is not sui ...
