The op possibly thought that there was no response to his post. I don't come on here very often and I only found it by chance. your flooring is the same as our kitchen.
Would it be possible for you to take some more pictures of your gun with more light on the gun. the pictures that you have been good enough to post are so unlit that they are just like black cardboard cut outs. It's nice to see gun porn. The floor is nice though.

Another clearer picture of my #4 action showing the screws and locking screws and not just straight through pins.

I’ve got a No4 it looks like the one I’ve got,a lot scruffier than my one though.
AYA No.4
26 INCH BARRELS

26 inch barrels.??? #4s were all 28" barrels

An image of my #4 from about 1974/5. The action is case hardened blue mottle and the action is flat sided as was the Yeoman ejector from the early 60s that I took in to a dealer to have it chopped up and get the set number taken offf my certificate. Now my old yeoman ejector had straight pins through the action but you'll notice that this action has covered screws which have counter locking screws. At the end of the day the op's gun looks in good condition although it looks like it could do with a bit of a clean up. both of my guns had 28 inch barrels. The OP's gun could have been sold through a third party company like Sears & Roebuck or similar. I have seen guns that have been 3rd party type sales and are similar to guns sold in Europe but not the same. as in the odd shape of the sides of the action. As far as I know ASI LTD ( King Brothers) went over to Spain in the late 50s and got talking to AyA. and subsequently took British made guns over for AyA to copy, Manufacture and supply. ASI are still the importers of AyA guns. The AyA #4 is a copy of a Westley Richards, Anson & Deeley box lock action. Anyway if the gun fits the op and he puts the lead on target it is a fine gun with many years of service. PS. this gun shoots 28> 30 gram cartridges very nicely. If you load it with 36 gram magnum high brass cartridges the gun will have excess recoil. A nice driven pheasant gun or walked up game, wing shooting or shooting over decoys

Well it could be a #4 or a yeoman ejector. There is a bit of oddness in the engraving across the top next to the top lever and the flat sort of plain side panel It is old,, possibly made in the 1960 > 1965 range. It is an ejector so it's not a #3 or a simple yeoman. But it could be a yeoman ejector. It's not the same as. My #4 but overall it's a bit plain. It needs a good clean. What are the barrel lengths. At least the screw slots haven't been hacked about and the gun slots are all in what appear to be in a std position. What are the proof marks and choke markings on the underside of the barrels.?. At the end of the day it may be nice to know but it's more down to how it comes to the shoulder and how you shoot with it. If you can shoot 25 out of 25 it really doesn't matter. What is the shape of the safety slide button catch.

Since when has taking a gun in for examination and repair been cheap.? With the current low,low price of guns unless it is at least a middle range gun it won't be worth repair. It's like modern cars. Any car over 3 years old doesn't have to have much of a bump to be classed as a write off. Can't see any gun reparer stripping a gun, and fitting one, or both pins and springs and giving it a clean reassembly for less than a couple of hundred. The days of a tenner are way gone.

She looks like a good girl.

She may have been paid to do it for publicity. You know that Nigel likes a bit of publicity. Its only a movie, "it's only a show".☆

There aren't any available. same as powder, wads, shot or anything. I don't know where it is all going. I was told that the Italians on the Fiocchi Facebook page are all up in arms because they can't get anything. Production of everything must have all been changed over to military production headed out to Ukraine.
PS. I've got all sorts of stock supplies. I'm ready for the revolution brother.
PPS. AND NO. you're not having any. Sorry.

I would have loved to have a 1.7 cf rifle ,,,, and I had a slot on my cert to get one but at the end of the day I couldn't justify getting one because I already had a 222 and a 223. Along with a ton of other guns. I just couldn't shoot that much. The problem here in the UK is that basically you can have what you want ; IF; you can justify the reason for having it. You cant just say "well I fancy having one" You have to have a sensible ,valid reason. Now,, pressure parts such as barrels are controlled items; SO you can't just order up a barrel and convert something. Shooting is difficult here because of a load of reasons. Small farms are getting less and less and unless you own a farm people just don't want random people out on their land shooting. the general public don't want random people shooting on land anywhere near their homes and families. IF I were to create a custom weapon it would never be on an automatic action. It would be on a bolt action because there is no comparison accuracy wise in using an auto. This again comes back to the difference between ( Generally) American and European shooting ideas. American seems to be Boom & Splash whereas UK / European is Quiet/Accuracy. It's like US made .22 rimfire target ammunition. It is so powerful (HV)that it isn't accurate. I bought a thousand supposedly STD velocity Remington target and they were so variable velocity that a ten shot group was about 4 inches whereas something like Eley club or match would produce ten shot one hole groups out of the same gun shooter combination. it's all in the gun /shooting culture. (Generally) here in the UK NO ONE wanders around carrying a gun. It isn't something that is done because NO ONE goes round shooting at others. The control of guns makes sure that Nutters don't get hold of guns and ammunition.

Are the breakages the same part. They can't all be faulty, The design has been around since the 1800s so the most likely fault is you. you're the weakest link. the common denominator.

Well, at least this thread hasn't been shut down due to someone mentioning the word Jews. Free speech still is alive.

I was trying to do research before committing, hence asking on thl, the font of all knowledge.
I genuinely don't want to go to a Muslim country. I don't want to give them my money. I do see them as arrogant, the ones that aren't I believe are just snakes. I don't fancy it and it's not for me. I don't want to eat their ritually slaughtered meat or interact with them whenever possible.
Everything in the canaries being shut is what I was wondering about
It doesn't matter what country , there are good and there are bad. There's just as many scum good for nothing people in the uk that would rob you blind as there are genuine people. Take the Turkish. A unlimited country but personally I would prefer to operate with the Turks than the Greeks. I have found them are very honest and helpful. Meat is meat and it eats the same. What you have to do is to get your head around the fact that there is no benefit system and they have to take as much bounty out of the tourist as they can. That dont mean that they are a load of kaniving thieving fellows. The Most intimidating place that the Mrs and I have ever been was a street market in St Louis in Mauritius. It was all Asians and like a market in darkest Calcuta. I told her to turn round and just keep walking. I've only heard bad things about Tunisia. You haven't said how old your kids are. It wouldn't be much of a holiday if there's nothing for them to do and they get miserable and you all end up scrapping on the deck.... remember that there will be one person to blame .... and that will be you...100%... I've seen that before.

I've been to all of 5hose mentioned places. What people forget it that in the winter you have to go a long way down south to find heat. Not only that but in a lot of these places the season is over and there is nothing going on for tourists to see or do. As for not ever going to a Muslim country, that is very short sighted. They are just people like anyone. If they came here with that sort of attitude you would say what a load of arrogant people. If you go to THEIR COUNTRY with a sort of arrogant imperialistic attitude it doesn't represent this country. It all depends on what you are going to a place for. Eg you wouldn't go to London if you wanted to laze on a beach. Customs in some countries are a lot different to here. Personally I found Sharm to be a bit of a dump. The canaries are OK but fuertevntura was very windy and being on the beach was like being sandblasted red raw. Do research BEFORE you commit

I hope that they caught it early. Fight it like a lion. Physically and probably more important mentally. If you give up it gets stronger, fight it and at least you have a chance. The medics will do their best for you. Live life to the full for as long as you can.

really need to up my game
How lovely to hear from you. Well.... we did tell you... back when you bought an older 22 target rifle and was intent on chopping the barrel down to about x inches. Firstly these guys can shòot but. It's the gun setup and the ammunition along with a LOT OF PRACTICE.

I'd forgotten that I had written that nearlyover 6 odd months ago.

Interesting read but we dont ever encounter buffalo in the local village, or anywhere for that matter in the UK. Another thing is that even if my freezer were to be empty, I'd never have enough spare space to take the meat.

They're in my garden I tell you. Every day I have wash the residue off of my car bonnet. Sometimes there's 5 ..6 big splats on the bonnet from where they sit on the power line above. And along the front fence line in the lawn grass. They come down on the front and back lawns pecking away at the clover or something. The problem is that my house is surrounded by roads front and side and over looked by houses and road footpaths. The house is in a situation where controlling the pigeons by final solutions are not possible. Without getting the locals up in a posse and even being reported for shooting or something. Apart from dumping on the car and lawns they ain't causing enough of a nuisance to get involved with the gen public.

Again there are all of these rumours about lead free bullets but it like the clowns at basic making a random statement about that in five years time that there won't be any lead OR plastic in the shooting field.!!?? So you have to ask yourself the question about .. on what basis did some bright spark make this statement considering the ammunition companies have a counter statement on their web pages that totally refutes the idea. That the supply of non toxic shot and suitable plastic components isn't and won't be available anytime soon. It's all there in black and white for all to read. At present .22 lr target ammunition is 40grn soft lead. if 21grn copper-polymer bullets were available for range use and they were CONSISTENTLY accurate would Eley or any manufacturer consider the cost of making them available would they consider the market worth it.? I bet that the American market would absorb as much lead 22 as anyone could ship over to them. IF, Joe Biden looks like he will win the next election all of the Ralph's will clear every available round that they can get their hands on. They always do.

The Mrs had a spell of sea sickness out in the Aegean and A bloke from a neighbouring cabin gave her a sheet of 25mg Stugeron tablets. They worked well. I bought some over the counter from a chemists out in Crete when we docked in.

what's with all of this conspiracy anti ... anything nonsense stuff. unless you have dug a hole in the ground and live on worms, someone knows who you are, where you are and what you are doing. you are on here so you are known about. you have to have an internet conection so your presence is recorded. Now the sooner that you find out that you are just a grain of sand on the wind and of no consequence in the grand sceme of thing the better it will be for you. The general alert is not an app. your device is noted by being connected to the net in an area as are all devices. if there is going to be something like flooding, wildfires in that area or some other calamity which may not be good in an area then EVERYONE in that area will receive an auto alert signal advising that the area could be in danger. They don't give a monkeys about you or what you are doing. The auto alert is just sent to every device in that area. if a Lion has escaped from a zoo or somewhere wouldn't you like a warning rather than walking round a corner to come face to face with it. still I suppose that it is a case of natural selection.

After many trials of lots of different colours I still come back to white. The reason is that it illuminates the target better/more. White light is more common at night than any other colour. House /buildings, town/street lights, car/vehicles. The trick is to use it sparingly. when you find a target DON'T KEEP LOOKING AT IT. SHUT THE LIGHT OFF ..... QUICK. You know the lay of your land..... or you should do. As soon as you know that your on you should be thinking of which way the wind is going and whether you can move reasonably quickly to a down wind position which will allow distance to close and you not get winded. The next thing is to understand backgrounding, so that you have some cover behind you so that you don't get skylines like a moving silhouette. A quick sweep with the light to check the target . Light off/ setup/ light flick on......l identify target / confirm and boom. Then keep light on to track target if it has moved and another sweep to see if there are other targets. Light off
