New SxS.

[Lord v]

After a crappy week at work I treated myself to a new (to me) gun.

Picked up a AyA Yeoman for just used £100.... can't wait to try it out! Fortunately have a day off on Monday...

Pinched the shops pics, mine are rubbish.

Good guns the Yeoman and that looks a nice one .

Many bargains about in the s/s market now,strange how marketing changes our needs !!!!!!!

Yes I got one too,its no beauty but works fine and was a gift from a shooting pal. I use it as a rough gun around the farm. Enjoy your new gun mate.

cheap as chips, nice ?

It dates to 1970. 

Cleaned it up a bit today, It's in good nick for a nearly 50yo gun.

like xaphan says everyone should have a sxs in the stable ?

my 1975 sarasqueta came up like new once I refinished the stock and cleaned the sidelock plates.

Other than shooting it, is there a way of telling which trigger fires which barrel? 

Its choked full and 1/2. The difference in choke is actually visible, so I am guessing the full is a pretty tight one. 

 

[MJJ]

Pull a bloody trigger and find out

 

[ips]

usually right hand barrrell first believe

 

[westley]

Should be 1/2 choke in right barrel, front trigger and Full choke in left barrel, back trigger. That is unless they made a pair of Yeoman's as Grouse guns ? 

It will NOT be chrome lined barrels, so it pays to push a wool mop with a little, that was LITTLE oil on, through each barrel, before putting it away. I would then store it muzzle down in the cabinet. IF you are storing it for any length of time, pop a couple of snap caps in and pull both triggers (one at a time). Do NOT forget to remove them (snap caps) and leave them in the cabinet before taking the gun out again.

 

[Lord v]

Cheers. 

I oil the barrels on both my guns before putting them away anyway.

I suppose that I am fortunate in being able to switch from my double triggered S x S, to my Auto, to my O/U and back again without a problem, although I occasionally get caught out by an auto safety catch, when shooting clays. ( I do not do that too often though). Probably due to starting my shooting career with a S x S, then starting clay shooting with an auto and eventiually with an O/U.
