Hi fellas,
I've an acquaintance who is looking at a matched pair of AYA Model 56s' in 12 ga. mftr. in 1968. He asked me about the metallurgy coming out of Spain during that period; of which I know nothing other than what I've read in the past stating some of it could be rather metal 'soft' when it came to wear vs. high volume shooting. Any truth to that? The guns do have sideclips and a Purdey-style hidden third fastener on 30" barrels bearing 2-3/4 oz. proofs, which is all to the good if fitted up properly. We'd sure appreciate any knowledgable opinions, as I've little experience with the Spanish stuff.
Thanks in advance,
rob
