I picked up a 16 bore AYA number 4 on Monday 7th of November from Rydales Auctioneers just North of York. Unfortunately the gun was cast for the left shoulder ,triggers shaped for a left handed shot and the strap metal work angled to accommodate the cast. I arranged to deliver the shotgun to Graham MacKinlay, a gun maker with an excellent reputation, near Dumbarton yesterday , 8th of November at 4.00 pm. for him to look over and assess the possibility of altering the gun. I was phoned today with the news that the gun was finished and ready for pick up and so picked the gun up today at 4.00pm 9th of November. The cast had been changed from cast on to 1/4 inch cast off. The triggers had been altered to accommodate a right handed shot and the metal work altered to fit the new cast. I had thought that I would be lucky to see the gun returned this side of Christmas now I’ll be shooting it this Saturday. Well done Graham MacKinlay ,I have already bought one side by side from him over 20 years ago and still going strong I’ll be be back to buy my next one from him to contribute to keeping him in business ,he’s a very rare breed.
