Pushandpull Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Manish, if you decided to stick with the AYA, why get bothered too about the finish ? Any shotgun or rifle which is used in rough places will get some wear and tear although it is claened and oiled and it will acquire a patina which as natural as the scars and callouses on your own hands. Many on here will have seen Frank Harrison's old gun which was used for many seasons guiding on the Wash. It isn't pretty and the chequering is virtually worn away but it still functions.

The last thing I want is the thing to blow up in my face due to my own stupidity. Looks like a yildiz is going to make its way into my safe My Gunmark Kestrel 3" chambered has had a fair few Eley Lightenings steel 3#'s through it and hopefully more through it this coming season.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
