Aya Model N 1 Round Action
The AYA N? 1 has been the flagship of the AYA line since its introduction in the late 1950s. Modelled closely on the classic Holland &
Holland-style sidelock, the Nº 1 has every hallmark of the traditional English-style double: Purdey-type double underlugs, chopper-lump barrels, detachable locks, articulated front trigger, and optional self-opener. The Nº 1 is engraved in classic Purdey-style rose-and-scroll, and is stocked in fancy-grade walnut. Rounded actions
Traditional sidelock guns are made with either a standard action or a rounded action. In the former, there is a raised ridge surrounding the lock plate, as well as a drop-point carved into the wood behind the lock to give it a finished look. The underside of the frame is squared, with a carved bead to soften the square edges of the metal. The Purdey is an example of such a traditional action.
In a rounded action, these features are eliminated. The underside of the frame is flush with the wood. There are no drop points, and no squared edges in either wood or metal. Thomas Boss of London is famous for its rounded-action game guns.
