triumphant59 Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Hi. Is it rht or left hand cast. Lop. Can you confirm actual date code, if it is 40 years old, ie 1983 that was not a good period for AYA.

That was the year AYA joined the ill fated Diarm cooperative, although guns were labelled AyA they were built in the Diarm factory between late 83 and 88 when they went bust.

Yes, I am familiar with AYA history. Your reference to 2003 was my question. I see you now have edited your post. Good luck to poster with sale.

Not sure what “poster with sale” implies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggietimber Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Located in docking Norfolk my dad bought the gun from Norwich gun shop 40 odd years ago fired no more than 8 shots and it was in cabinet ever since.. I’ve recently relived him of a few of his collection thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what “poster with sale” implies? Implication is obvious and simple. The poster(Reggietimber) is selling a gun and I wish him good luck with the sale. Very nice AyA , for anyone looking for quality s/s, but limited and reducing market of purchasers. Best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
