Well I was at the factory last Friday eightbore and they are worked off their feet, there are a LOT of 20 bore over under sporters in the line under production. maybe that early gun you saw had some glitches but I don't think you'll find many now. By the way, why do AYA get such grief here, I think their No.1 is almost as good as a best English gun, regards, Mike p.s. no relation to Holland, Purdey or AYA
