Have own a model 56 for quite a few years. It was given to me by one of my uncles as a present on my 18th birthday (I'm 58 now). He bought it for himself but shooting wasn't his thing so he passed it on to me. Beautifully made, lovely to shoot and a joy to look at! When it comes to historical Spanish gun manufacturers, AYA is up there along with Ignacio Ugartechea and Victor Sarasqueta (of whom I also own guns)
I started with a single 410 hammer AYA as a kid, went through various guns including pump, then had a nice AYA boxlock for a few years. After a spell without a shotgun I now own a very nice, if rather short No.2 that is really great for driven game when they are not that high and are coming in thick and fast!
Nice to see them cooing over the 25. I have one, with a single trigger, that I just couldn't pass up in the local gun shop and I love it. Beautiful little gun Also got a Yeoman O/U but have had to leave it in the cabinet until I can get it repaired. The ejectors are worn out and letting the odd cartridge slip past. Love the AYA's - great guns.
Thanks for the peek at the Matador number two I have one in 10 gauge and hand load for everything from Deer to Bob White quail. 3 oz loads down to Oz and 1/8 load. I love the lines of the gun and the case hardening. I'm a neanderthal so the heft doesn't bother me that much. Great video enjoyed it ,good hunting! Rick of Orange
I liked the comment on the 25-inch. When you go against the fashion you feel that good sense has deserted you. But going back to basics is reassuring. A 25-inch is, indeed, a soldier's gun. Useful in the ravine.
Great video, so thank you for that 🙂, my first twin barrel shotgun was a AYA No4. But I'd give my eye teeth fot that stunning 410 pigeon AYA shotgun. I'd love to see you make a video on black powder shotguns, both muzzle loading and cartridge. I'm very bias towards them as I've been shooting them for over forty years. Please keep on making these videos.
Such a great informative video, it's good to see a nice line-up of the different models and variations. Got a mint Yeoman the day after my licence arrived in August on your recommendation, just want a nice no4 and no2 in the new year and I'll be happy. Thank you for satisfying my AyA needs!
God I love this channel and the content its been pumping out the last 12 months. Won't be long now till 100k subs, then 250k subs, keep up the good work!
Love aya's. Great barrrels, great wood, good quality blueing and nice balance on Nr 4 upwards. You always could rely on a Nr4 BLE which was half the cost of anything else of simikar quality. Regret selling mine for a Silver Pidgeon!
First clay I ever broke was with my mums AYA, wish i could remember which model it was. Sneaking suspicion it was a Yeoman. It was 35 years ago [12yrs old] so think I can be forgiven for the memory being a bit foggy 😁
Great video and to see my beloved twenty five, video idea : find the longest barreled shotgun you can and get Ant to shoot it and Jonny to compete against him with a twenty five.
Ohhhh... that pair of 12's... one in coin, the other colour-case-hardened.... His & Hers, or Rain & Shine ? Perhaps they're choked differently? One 1/4 and 1/2, the other 1/2 & 3/4, or 3/4 & full ?
Hello from across the pond! How do I find such a Marvelous deal like this in the states?? I can't find doubles like this anywhere here. A turkish double at the store here is $800.00!!! I wish I could find a Double with this kind of history, art, craftsmanship. Please help! If you can! P.s. The way you all hunt Game birds Is a dream here in the states. It's do able though. I'm going to start now. Find somewhere here and get into it. I've been watching all your videos on how to get started. Thanks for everything friends!!! Thumbs up
Really wish you could review a more budget oriented SxS Turkish shotgun, such as the Churchill's 5xx. I own a Churchill 520 and would love to hear how it compares to the more expensive guns you review as I will most probably never be able to afford any of the other more expensive guns. Cheers! Love the channel
Far more at the condition they are in! The ones they are showing are near mint, I would die for one this nice! I have a #4 in OK condition but would expect to pay 1300-1500 for that matador 2 they showed!
el video me gusta lo unico malo es QUE NO ENTIENDO NADA DE LO QUE DICEN TENDRIAN QUE TRADUCIRLO AL CASTELLANO o sino que hagan como las peliculas que abajo esta la traduccion espero que me den BOLAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@tgsoutdoors I think Ithaca made more than 275,000 SxSs. Parker made more than 200,000. Francotte made tons. The Spanish have made far fewer, by comparison. I doubt they've made more sidelocks than Purdey.

I have an AYA No 4,50 year old....love it !!
Have a No.4 box lock ejector pistol grip 30" barrels. Lovely gun!

Video was a Great, with Spanish Instrumental music 🥰
Found it, The AYA .410 side by side Pigeon Gun......not an over and under!! It was a pleasure meeting you today Johnny.
I wish the aya’s went for those prices in the US. They are definitely pulling bigger money here. I would have several at those prices.
Same here, but it would probably cost a fortune to have one shipped over.
Another absolutely cracking vid, love those 25’s, some really nice looking ones coming up in both auctions😅
I have my late fathers Yeoman ejector that he basically never shot. It’s almost in new condition. Not worth a lot at all but priceless to me
Love aya's. Great barrrels, great wood, good quality blueing and nice balance on Nr 4 upwards.
You always could rely on a Nr4 BLE which was half the cost of anything else of simikar quality. Regret selling mine for a Silver Pidgeon!
Thanks for a great video! I'm really looking forward to the upcoming MD-6 video!
I owned a AYA Coral it was a fine handling weapon but sadly had ejection problems.
thanks a lot for this beautiful video!
First clay I ever broke was with my mums AYA, wish i could remember which model it was. Sneaking suspicion it was a Yeoman. It was 35 years ago [12yrs old] so think I can be forgiven for the memory being a bit foggy 😁
I’m in the market for another no4 and a No2 20 bore next year I think a trip to holts will be in order !
Just bought a .410 Aya 400E. Incredible wood and lightweight. After phoning Aya, they informed me that my brandnew gun was made in 1963 ...
Love the guitarist.
I've got an AYA no. 37 O/U side lock ejector Merkel 303-clone. It's a good gun.
Not quite ,close but uniquely different . Same "kersten " bolting system and looks
Thanks for this one.
This Mr is a true marketing manager to HOLTS, wish you more success, I wish I have 1 gun in Pakistan,
What is the process of buying a gun from Holts? Is it hard work? Sorry I’m a fresh section 2…..
I love my No.4! Never let me down
Great video and to see my beloved twenty five, video idea : find the longest barreled shotgun you can and get Ant to shoot it and Jonny to compete against him with a twenty five.
Great video as usual.

One of each please John😊
Fantastic !

Bloody hell ! I need that matador 😲
Another great vid cheers all
Think I need a s/s in the cabinet 🤔
I wish we had these in Canada!
We do, not hard to find an AYA. Loads of #4s out there and #2s, the odd #1.
@@robrussell5911 agreed - they are out there, but at much higher prices than discussed in the video!
50 quid? Must be a mark up in the US because those guns go for several thousand dollars over here
.410 pigeon hun for me😊❤️
i want that 410!!!!
Hello TGS I am very interested in the AYA 410 pigeon gun.
It’s sweet isn’t it. Good luck bidding

We have a few in the pipeline
All the AYA's I've seen for sale had cast-off stocks. Being left-handed and American, I want a neutral stock.
These are my favorite looking shotguns where can I buy these guns?
Have you thought about looking at Holt's auctioneers?
@@MalcolmPowder send me a link
what id give for those cheap aya's in the states
Dude where and how can I get one
great again !
How can i buy that 20bore thats nearly new in box??
Go on the holts website, register and place a bid
My biggest regret was selling my AYA Best Quality Boxlock bought from a fitted for me by Jeffreys in Guildford.
I need to go to England
50 dollars!. Here in the US those would be 300-400 easy
Far more at the condition they are in! The ones they are showing are near mint, I would die for one this nice! I have a #4 in OK condition but would expect to pay 1300-1500 for that matador 2 they showed!

Oh man!
Cobs , bars
Lead prof only
Finding a "QUALIFIED" double gun gunsmithe in the USA is difficult . There are a few good ones and alot of butchers .
The number 2 with a Churchill rib is very nice, i dear daughter nicer than there number 1 or best
The 25sl is a very sweet little gun
Will you buy me a 16 gauge AYA sxs?
Parker Double barrel
Basque country maker and flamenco or “rumba” music, which is music from the south of Spain? You know little about Spain.
Yes, that is true.
Is it correct that the rain, in Spain, falls mainly on the plain?
I think you've got it .@@skipmole612
Renato Gamba is the best you can buy.
Sorry but they certainly are not
They are very good but, There is better out there.
They are shite
👏
beautiful does not mean curated or good pattern
That`s not true,it`s not world`s best {quantity wise) selling Side by Side.
Baikal?

@@DogsandDoubles AYA have made far far more sidelocks than Purdey. I believe Purdey have made something like 30k guns total.
speakiing of spanish guns one word {KEMEN}.
A standard Aya sidekick is no more “a reasonable copy” of an H&H Royal as their Senior was of a Purdey. Can’t even vaguely compare.
Apart from the similarities in the mechanism and design
Can you explain more, Myles? Have you seen the internals of each next to each other?
Well, I suppose "agricultural" doesn't necessarily mean "collective".
First
Splinter forends all the way- those beaver tails are ugly
Birmingham box lock any day over an AYA.
