I bought a brand new 20 gauge AYA #1 from Jack Rowe three years ago. It has had about 3,500 rounds through it. One of the V springs has a crack in it. The forearm wood has separated from the iron by about 1/32"; I assume it is wood shrinkage. The banjo shaped piece on the end of the forend is loose. The label came loose from the trunk case. The forearm is difficult to remove. The drop points stick out too much - wearing a hot spot on the shooter's thumb.
The triggers are excellent, the ejectors work flawlessly and are timed perfectly. The wood finish and fit and checkering are very good. The gun is very beautiful.
Best,
Mike
