enfieldspares Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) This is likely, possibly, a one off or special order AYA No4 boxlock ejector that has thirty inch barrels and a pistol grip. It sounds similar to the one mentioned in this video at 1:30 or thereabouts. Who knows! https://youtu.be/iVLs-MZAT1E This one also is low in the comb being about 1 3/4" at face and about 2 3/4" at heel with an overall length of pull to centre from front trigger of 14 1/2" to the back of its typical for period AYA black plastic buttplate. The gun was at some time fitted with sling swivels but the fitment for these on the barrel has been removed and blended over and the hole in the butt (near to the usual inlaid unengraved gold colour oval) plugged. Here's some pictures of the one I have and wish to sell as I've now acquired a factory longstock No4 (albeit with but twenty-eight inch barrels) so this thirty inch barrel gun is surplus to my needs. The forend is the typical No4 "splinter" type and not the "beavertail" such as on the AYA Matador. This is a pleasing gun retaining some slight colour to its action but could maybe at some future time benefit from a reblack to its barrels. When made it was nominally choked at likely 1/4 and 3/4 but may have been later opened out? I don't have a choke measuring device so can only say what is stamped on the gun. Cash on collection £350 or sensible reasonable offers near Leicester M1 J21A use postcode LE9 2AL for a rough location. Valid SGC only to be shown on arrival and before viewing and, with regret, the gun cannot be couriered or sent via RFD to RFD. I am however for those coming midweek but fifteen minutes away from Normanton Shooting Ground off the A47 at Thurlaston. Please PM me here and also reply by PM. A part box of twenty Eley Bismuth 12 bore cartridges (likely to be 1 1/8 ounce #5bi but not guaranteed) of some sort or other will be given to the buyer for those with an urgent need to use it on wildfowl that same day. I am available most weekdays and weekends. Edited October 7, 2023 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
