I certainly do not agree that today's AyA guns are of "questinable" quality. They produce a leader line of guns that is of lower quality than their upper end guns, as does every maker just about that you can name. Well, save those VERY few that truly do make only Best guns. AyA's upper lines of guns are of very good quality, equal quite likely to any Spanish gun currently made. I have two older guns currently, one is a 20 gauge model 53E that is absolutely an upland hunters dream, a wonderful sidelock top of the line gun in every respect, and I also have a model 207 pigeon gun, 12 gauge, a European model not commonly seen here. It's a scalloped back boxlock action with very good scroll engraving over maybe 80% or so of the action, and is a very strong and very well made gun for heavier use. I have had other AyA guns as well. In general, the upper lines are very nicely made guns, IMHO.
