The result: A gun that is itself a work of art, as individual as its owner. – 49 – Making an AYA
Why an AYA? S ixty years ago, in the great age of hand craftsmanship, English gunmaking achieved a standard of excellence which will never be surpassed. While it is the dream of many game shooters to own an English “best” shotgun, the cost of such a work of art puts it beyond reach of all but a very few. AYA has created a range of shotguns that incorporate the very best technical features of traditional English guns, yet have the advantage of substantially lower manufacturing costs. These guns are built entirely at AYA’s factory in Eibar, the birthplace of Spain’s gunmaking industry. Disc-Set Strikers With lesser guns, the striker is an integral part of the tumbler. These are simpler to make, but requires the replacement of the entire tumbler when the striker becomes worn. All AYA side-by-sides are fitted with disc-set strikers. The striker is a separate piece with its own return spring, either of which can be replaced simply by removing the inset disk in the face of the standing breech. This is a feature of all London “bests” – and another example of the quality design and workmanship one expects from AYA. Locks The steel used in AYA locks and springs is the very best available, and exclusive to AYA. Softer steel is cheaper and easier to work with, which is why it is preferred by lesser gunmakers, but AYA will never compromise on the basic quality of its lock mechanisms. – 50 –
