AyA #2

[Paul Stafford III]

I own an AYA #2, and depending on how old the gun is determines how they are engraved. Older models are all done by hand similar to the #1. Also depending on how they are ordered your gun can have upgrades. My #2 has gold turned internals that only the #1 has, also I have extra fancy wood. When I spoke with the gentleman from AYA at the Shot Show last year they said the new models would be machine rolled and the hand chased engraving. Once you hit the #1 grade and up it's all done by hand.

Last note: They are a very high quality spanish gun. You wont be upset.

[C.O.B.]

Russ the odds are that it's a #2 gun as there are more of them around. I passed on a #1 10 years or so ago because it was a 20 and I was looking for a 16. I still regret that one. The #2 should be under $4K I would think.

That statement gives the impression that the new #2's going forward from last year's Shot Show would be machine engraved. When in fact, the standard engraving has been machine applied for about the past 20 years, or so.
