AYA identification help

[KRW 1]

Hi Folks

 

Just picked up my first shotgun through an acquaintance and very happy with it condition wise, it is a sbs 28" AYA ejector but not sure which model,have been informed it could be an eighties no4,could anyone confirm this for me and tell me how to differentiate between the models.

 

Here's a couple of photos that might help.

 

cheers,Keith

Hi:

I reckon your idea of a No4 is about dead right.

The No4 is a 'better grade' Yeoman with ejectors, excellent guns, but it's hard to tell them apart because

they are really just about identical, I think that there is also a Yeoman ejector as well?

Anyway as a guide better wood, and ejectors are the common denominator.

You can't go wrong with this gun, I can't imagine why 'cheap' OU's are generally more popular, as they are

inferior in almost all departments.

Have you tried contacting AyA? They should be able to find out the exact model from the serial number!

I have an AyA serial number guide here somewhere

 

See if I can dig it out.

AyA Historical Data

Have a look at page 57 on this manual and compare it with the serial number/date code which should be found on either the action flats or barrel flats which should give you a date
