A 'Premium' gun from AYA

A 'Premium' gun from AYA

ASI · 19 May 2019

Over the last few years, the shooting world has been treated to a number of new models from AYA, veteran gunmakers of Spain. Shooters will have seen the ‘Round Action Boxlock’, the Nº 2 ‘de Luxe’ and the ‘Centenary’, all of which have represented various advances or milestones in AYA’s history.

The ‘Premium’ is a beautiful model which came out almost two year ago now and it still stands out from the rest of the range in that it is not just an old model with a facelift, it features a new lockplate design which is unique amongst Spanish gunmakers – the pinless lock.

The Pinless Sidelock

Indeed, it is the only Spanish sidelock with this feature. The essence of the ‘pinless’ sidelock is that the heads of the internal screws which secure all the working parts inside the lock plates do not protrude through to the outside of the place itself, allowing for an uninterrupted expanse of steel on which the engraver can display his skill and artistry.

In the case of the standard version, the Premium in adorned with bold acanthus leaf in a semi-relief style, but the gun can be engraved with any number of other styles such as game scenes and fine scroll if preferred.
