I bought my customized AyA 56, 12 gauge in 1963 from AyA in Eibar, Spain for live pigeon shooting when I was in the USAF stationed in Greece in 1963. That model AyA was very popular at the time for that type competition. I sold it to another live pigeon shooter in Texas in 1967 when I received orders to Vietnam. I missed it so much after I retired, so in 1998 I bought another used AyA 56, 12 gauge, double triggers, 1963 manufactured with two barrels, a 28 inch barrel, IC/LM, and a 30 inch barred, M/F. I use both barrels in sporting clays double barrel events and for hunting, as well as ZZ bird (simulated pigeon) shooting at ranges in the Houston, Texas area. In over 20,000 rounds through this later AyA 56, I have never had a malfunction, nor with my original Model 56. I cannot endorse enough this model from AyA. I haven't had a single trigger model in either, so cannot comment on that. Jim Haynes
