Hugh, I wouldn't call the AyA Yeoman 'comparable' to the 700. The Webley was far superior in every way. The AyA Model 4 was based very much on the 700 but still not up to the Webley standard.

Interesting article. If you ever go to the Birmingham Proof House museum they have a full set of the castings for the 700 to show the manufacturing process. I have a 28" 700 12 bore that sees a lot of use on wood pigeon. Lagopus.....
