3” (75MM) Magnum 12g Side by Side Shotgun by AYA. 30” (760mm) Barrels with a Tapering Concave Rib and Single Front Sight Bead. Stock / Trigger pull measures 13 7/8” (353mm) and combines for an overall length of 46 ¼” (1175mm). Scales tipping at 6 Lb 11 ½ oz (3.05 Kg).
One obvious ‘ding’ to the Right-Hand side, just forward of the grip, below the safety. Otherwise in generally Excellent Condition. Yes, original barrel blueing is starting to show mild wear too. However, I would say this is more from handling than actual use. Just take a look at the condition of everywhere and everything else. Guessing the main mark to woodwork was from a fall or something falling into it. This also has a Definite Cast for a right-handed shot. As such, I suspect not that suitable from the other shoulder.
Bright Finished Action with Automatic Safety and minimal Border Engraving of a wavy line right around. A couple of Additional Small Vignettes too. A bit of ‘less is more’. Highly Decorative Pistol Grip Stock with all Checkering still clean and crisp. Contrasting Blacked Trigger Guard and Bottom Plate. There is also an unused, flush inlet escutcheon plate to the bottom of the stock.
All in all, I think this is actually a VERY NICE example.
THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
Sadly Steve has now given up on the UK Gun Trade and left for the US. HOPEFULLY a major producer will adopt and cartridges will eventually travel back this way.
RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
