Were they better than 8s or 9s -- not to my unscientific leanings, but when you can't make up your mind, indecision can make you do funny things.
I have a couple of AyAs with 27 inch barrels. When I bought them I asked the dealer why 27 inches. He essentially said that AyA was trying please those who wanted 28" AND 26" barrels. Not sure that works.
Chalk all this up to the large category of "the irrelevant."
I guess it's like finding a unique Parker with some feature or configuration not seen before. As I often read in this Forum, "Never say never." |
The “Bill Hanus Bird Gun” dimensions specify 27” bbls. And you see lots of english guns with 27” tubes
