Spanish boxlock guns require removing several screws from the trigger guard and others, but they require special screwdrivers. Using your regular screwdrivers, even those made for gun screws, will bugger your screws up, destroying the value of your gun. Don't do it! Take it to a professional experienced with Spanish shotguns. It will be better for you in the long run and save you aggravation and money. Gunsmiths go to school for a reason.
$300-$450, depending on condition
In the order of £350, depending on condition.
There are two currently listed on the gun sale web site Gunbroker.com Both are $749. I am looking for one myself
AyA stands for Aguirre & Aranzabal. The 'y' is 'and' in Spanish. AyA shotguns are direct, part-for-part copies of the English Purdey, one of the world's finest shotguns. The last AyA I saw sold was a 12 ga. double, field grade, back in the '70s. It went for about $750. TexasCharley Sears imported the AyA Matador for a time. 20ga will bring more than 12ga, so you can expect $450-$600 depending on condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net
They have been selling for around $400.00 here, IF in excellent, near new condition. In lesser condition for much less.
I will assume that this firearm was made by the Spanish firm AYA as they did make a model called the "Matador" from the mid '50's thru the early 1980's. If this is the case it should also, I believe, have either AYA or Aguirre Y Aranzabal stamped on the firearm. The Matador was somewhat of a "knockabout", though quite serviceable, grade of shotgun for AYA. The "Blue Book of Gun Values" gives values of from $200 to $795 depending on the particular grade and condition. I believe these figures may be OK for the low end, my feelings are that a 100% gun would sell for a couple of hundred bucks more at most local gun shops. They were good guns, I almost bought one myself 25 years ago and if my memory is correct the price them was just under $500 for a used, but still quite nice gun.

Questions: If this is a side-by-side, are both barrels marked that they are chambered for 12 gauge? Are both chambers clean? Is this gun new? If so, it may be incorrectly manufactured (although this is pretty unlikely).
