Wow! This BB is the most comprehensive board that I have seen and I am happy to be here. I just bought a new AYA #2 16 Ga and was amazed that the gun did not come with an owners manual. I have emailed AYA and after a week I still have high hopes but have had no response from the mfg. Has anyone seen an AYA owners manual? Is the stock finish on the shotgun a true oil finish? Is the removal of the side plates straight forward or is there something to be done before one turns the lever?
