Well now, these are a bit over my head, but...back in the day, as they say, I bought an AYA 20 ga, from of all places, Sears-Roebuck. It was marked either Sears by AYA, or AYA for Sears, or something along those lines. It was a 20 ga, with 28" barrels, mod/full, and 3" chambers. I was told at the time that AYA apprentences made them for Sears as part of their training.

The Sears store I delt with at the time had two of them in stock, a 12, and a 20. The 20 was by far the nicer of the two, with really nice wood, and some simple, rather understated engraving. The receiver IIRC, was color case hardened. I paid, IIRC, $199.00 for it about 1978-79 or so. A very nice gun, and one of the very few I regret selling. It probably was the nicest gun I've ever owned.
