I have an AYA 400 in 16 ga made in 1955. I pulled it from the safe yesterday. It was stored with snap caps and uncocked.
It will not fire. Any ideas? Who could work on it if need be?
Thanks

That one's a lot more ornate than mine. They do seem like solid shotguns. Glad this one has finally found a home. LOL
