The AyA Nº 2 is the pre-eminent "affordable" sidelock double gun, and the most famous model in the AyA line. Since its introduction in the late 1950s, tens of thousands of Nº 2s have been sold in the United Kingdom, the United States, and everywhere that shooters value the superb balance and handling of a fine double gun.
Mechanically, the Nº 2 is identical to the Nº 1. Like the Nº 1, it was originally modeled on the time-tested Holland & Holland system. It is stocked with standard walnut and engraved in a simpler pattern. The Nº 2 weighs in at 63„4 pounds and is available in 12, 16, 20, 28 gauge and .410 bore.
