Hey Skeet,
Just got an email from Grulla. Turns out the little gun is not a #2 at all. It just looks like one. The #2 guns were started in 1989. This gun was built in 1988 and is a custom made 20ga which started out as with a 209 frame. Acording to Grulla it is a 209 more or less, that is an understatement. The barrels are chopper lump, 209s are not. They ran out of locks to fill the order so bought a set of AYA#2, 7 pin locks. The AYA locks are hand removable while the 209 locks are not. That is why the curved ribbon Grulla Armas is missing from the locks and the locks are engraved, not stamped, AYA. AYA locks are not engine turned on the inside, Grulla locks are turned, these locks are turned. The 209 has plain wood this gun has fancy wood. The little gun looks just like an AYA #2 right down to the engraving on the triggerguard, checkering, etc. It weighs 1 oz more than an AYA 28ga #2 owned by a friend. You put the two guns side by side and they are identical twins. So all in all I am very pleased with my adoption. Oh, and it shoots too. Shot a couple of clays stations with it and it did just great. Ed
