One of the most famous English guns of the early 20th century was the Churchill XXV - a 25-inch barrelled gun developed by the English shooting instructor, Robert Churchill. Churchill combined his short barrels with a special high, tapered rib

which gives the shooter an optical impression of length. The XXV was especially popular with shooters of smaller stature, and retains a following to this day.

For many years, AYA has offered guns in this configuration, in both a high-quality sidelock and in a less expensive boxlock model.
