Re Kyrie's reference to "the old AyA": They did indeed do some neat and different stuff. Undoubtedly the most unique AyA I ever owned was a 16ga marked AyA-Sauer. (AyA must have cut some sort of deal with Sauer to make those guns.) Looked for all the world like a high grade Sauer boxlock. Scalloped receiver, cocking indicators (on the sides rather than the "snail's ears" on top), a lot of engraving. DT/PG/cheekpiece/sling swivels. Slight Schnabel to the forend. Looked to me as if it was made for the German market with those features.
