I have a lot of friends who own AYAs along with myself, The steel is very good, my biggest [censored], is the blueing on the older guns are not the best. Out of the 5 I own, internal steel and action are good, the barrels shows some freckles on the underside, that seems to show up after a day of hunting. (Which drives me crazy). All my AYAs were bought in the mid 70s directly from Spain,
Mid 60s the model 2 is different from the # 2, not sure what year the 117 hit the market, I know we had a couple in our order in the 70s .
Just wish we could buy the guns at the prices I paid for them in the 70s.
