Hi folks,
Due to the exhaustive and time consuming cleaning ritual for my current Remington 870 and the many resultant complaints from my wife, I am mulling over the potential purchase of a 12ga O/U shotgun from AYA, the spanish shotgun company. However, before I do so I would like to ask a few questions of you knowledgeable people.
1) Is an O/U really easier and faster to clean? (Just swab out the barrels and give the lockwork a once over with a toothbrush right?)
2) Are O/Us more mechanically reliable than pump actions?
3) Are they more idiot proof for HD?
4) Can limbsaver recoil absorbers be installed on AYA or other european shotguns?
5) Can a sling be fitted to this or most other O/U shotguns?
6) If it is employed for property defense, can a light be installed or do I have to resort to duct taping a cheap flashlight to the barrel?
7) The brochure says that the barrels have fixed full and modified chokes. Can buckshot be used in full chokes w/o damaging the gun?
Thanks guys.
