For Sale: AYA XXV 12b Sidelock Shotgun

[novice]

Looking to sell this very pleasant AYA sidelock.
2 3/4 inch chambers. Woodwork has recently been refinished and has a reasonable grain. Metalwork tidy and retains the majority of the colour hardening on the action and sidelocks.

Handles beautifully with the Churchill rib, just not getting used and could do with the cabinet space.

£800 ovno

Stockport area. Happy to supply additional photos if required.

20" barrels I assume, and choke?

Probably 25 inch, 20 inch would Be a section 1 firearm

It’s a sin that you could barely find a buyer for a quality gun like that.

No they are called AYA 25 as they have 25 inch barrels, I had one many years ago wish I had kept it

 

[Blackbeast?]

That’s a very good looking gun, be top boy in the shooting line with that.

Hello, I had the Boxlock version , Lovely made shotgun, If memory is correct i think Gough Thomas from the Shooting times liked the AYA XXVs

It has 25" barrels with a Churchill style rib, which does give an impression of it having longer barrels when you bring it up to the shoulder. It's a fast handling gun but to me it handles a touch slower than a true 25" gun, if that makes sense.

Chokes from memory are stamped 1/4 and 1/2, but I'd need to double check. As ever, true choking of any gun will show up on the pattern plate with a given load.

It’s criminal what the proposed lead ban has done to SG prices!
And for no good reason, in most instances.

It should still be able to shoot standard steel and chokes are good for steel. Only limitation is that it won’t be able to shoot high performance steel. It might also shoot the new Bioammo which is an amalgam of bismuth, zinc and tin with characteristics similar to lead also not prohibitively priced.

What proof marks does it have?

Unfortunately sxs isn’t as popular theses days.
People just prefer the o/u.
I have a nice sxs and to be honest I never use it but it’s not worth a penny unless I find an enthusiast willing to buy it.

December bump. Appreciate the interest on the thread, but would prefer if folk didn't derail it with attempts to sell their own items...

Still here, if anyone's looking for an early Christmas present to themselves.

You haven't got your location in your Avator so that might have helped.

Sorry I missed that, I looked at the Avator to see if it was anywhere near me as I might have wanted a look and discuss.
