Handled one at the Wheeling Cabelas-16 ga. Great gun, I think they were asking about $5900.

Yes, I have hunted with a 28ga and bought a 20 ga for my nephew. I like them a lot and I think they are a great shotgun for the price. At least they were when I was using them about 10 years ago. I especially like the #2.

I shoot a #2 28" .410 rounded body and think it is a great gun. In the last few years the prices have gone over the top, but we can't do much about that. My .410 was a gift from a friend and I never would have paid the retail price at the time. In the last few years, the retail seems to have gone up about $2000. If I ever buy another, it will be on the used gun market.

They are a quality gun by a very well established firm. If an AYA filled the need I was looking for I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

Since we are on the subject of AYA ,is there a specific way to tell the Grades apart from one another ? The used ones I have run across " which are few " ,,I have never been able to tell the #1 from the # 2 and usually the Gun shop owner has no idea and the couple guns I have recently found have been on consignment and I am not sure the owner even knows what Grade they are !

shotgunworld.com has a Spanish Guns subforum where that question has been addressed. You might bring it up again. By the way, NECG is now asking $6295 for my rounded frame #2. When I worked in a gun store a few years ago, we bought #2s from NECG for $2500 and retailed them for about $3100.

The top pic is an AyA #1 which is hand engraved and has a higher level of finish to both wood and metal than the #2. The second pic is an AyA #2 which is mechanically (rolled) engraved. This particular gun has the rolled engraving properly applied, many examples you will find the engraving is not perfectly centered around the cocking indicators. (For the life of me I cannot figure out why AyA can't get this right--especially with a gun at this price point). The third pic is an example of a #2 with poorly applied off-centered engraving.
