i have a shotgun that was given to me that i know nothing about. it's a 12 ga side by side that can handle 2 3/4 inche shells. it has fixed full chokes, adjustable recoil pad, double triggers, and engraving around reciever. on the right barrel it is marked-made for richland arms co-made in spain-blissfield,michigan model 200.
on the left barrel its marked-G. Zabala y cia s.a.
the bluing is ingood condition and the stock is good but few scratches. if anybody
knows about th history of this gun or its value i would like to know.
Thanks Alot, Steven

Including the engraving pattern on the side of thed receiver, that shotgun on the auction sight is a dead ringer for an AYA Matador 20-ga. I bought back in the 1960's.
It was a good, serviceable gun!

Whater ever you do with this gun,DON,T try to get it chambered to a 3"!!!Not if you want to keep your hands and eyes ect. Seen a lot of them even come apart with hot handloads just above the chamber to the end of the forearm. Not the best steel in the world,but will work ok if you stick with factory ammo. just a note for you. vangunsmith
