AYA 12 gauge #3 Boxlock

Description

AYA YEOMAN 12G SIDE BY SIDE BOXLOCK NONE EJECTOR SHOTGUN.

SUPERB Condition Boxlock None Ejector 12g Side by Side Yeoman Shotgun from AYA in Spain.

NONE EJECTOR…….YES……. WOW!
OK, YES, a none ejector! Quite WHY everyone thinks they want or needs one confuses me. Sat in a hide? Generally you set it up with a good background of a nice thick Holly or Hawthorne bush. Have a ‘red letter’ day and go through several boxes of cartridges. Get your 100 plus birds. FANTASTIC! A GREAT DAY! WELL DONE YOU!
Then spend the next two hours trying to pick your cartridge cases up that have been ejecting so beautifully. ….Straight into that thick SPIKEY bush that hid you so well. Go home looking like you went three 10 minute rounds with two wildcats (4 or 2 legged variety) in a cloth sack.                                                                                                                                                 
A day on a driven shoot? Are you lucky enough to have that many birds coming over AND someone to gather up your mess after each drive? If so then an ejector MIGHT be justified. Even on walked up they are nothing more than a distraction!

Even shooting clays the vast majority of people call pull. They mount the gun. They take their shots. THEN they put their hand over the action as it breaks to stop the ejectors ejecting the spent cases! Pull the cases out and drop them into a bin or pocket.

AS FOR THE STEEL SH-T FIASCO DO take a look at the bottom.

Standard Game format:

28” (710mm) Fixed Choke Barrels at ½ and Full restrictions with 2 ¾” (70mm) Chambers. Raised Flat Topped and Tapering File Cut Rib running up to a single front bead.

14 ¾” (375mm) Stock bringing in an overall length of 45 ¼” (1050mm) and carry weight at 6 Lbs 7 ¾ oz. Physically stamped with YEOMAN to the top of the left barrel Chamber.

A Strong Straight Grained Walnut Stock with a Good Well Defined Stripe and Colour Contrast. This does have a couple of Very light blemishes but nothing to cry over. Quite long and original this has almost no cast to the straight hand grip. It may well easily work for a quite tall right or left handed shot straight out of the rack.

Metal work is exceptional with the Colour Case Hardening to the action like new.

This gun came in from the same man as another similar AYA in the same Superb condition. Both well looked after since first bought.

NO NOT steel SH-T proof but DO READ ON / check out the link:
THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?

Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.

YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!

On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons.
RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
