For sale is a 1964-manufacture AYA Matador 12-gauge side-by-side shotgun. This is a "sleeper" in the double-gun world, featuring high-end chopper-lump barrels (the barrel and lug are forged from a single piece of steel), a feature usually reserved for shotguns costing thousands more.


This specific Model I is the desirable "Upland" configuration with shorter 26-inch barrels. It is exceptionally fast to point and perfectly balanced for hunting in thick cover or over dogs.
