You're buying high quality pieces.... Anybody that tells you otherwise is a doing so because they're "gun snobs"..... Well if it means anything, the AYA #2 is the best-selling SXS in England. And more and more English makers (like E.J. Churchill, William Powell, J. Rigby, etc) are turning to the likes of AYA, Arrieta, and Arrizabalaga to build doubles for their clients. I think that speaks volumes about the quality of the guns coming out of Spain today.
