Anyone ever had a aya yoeman over and under multi choke 28 inch barrel seen one for 500 euro it looks like a decent gun to me but any opinions would be appreciated

Yeah, have one the last few years. Don't know the age, but probably 20 years old. I like it, fits me well. Multi chokes, single selective trigger, barrel is selected by a little cross shaft button built into the rear of the trigger. Ejectors. Mine is plain polished action, but some came with fancier engraving. There are some old threads on here about the Yeoman if you search.

Will stick up a few pics of mine later. €500 would be strong enough money for it, unless it's absolutely mint, I feel.

how much would think it should be worth it is fairly clean and has the engraving, just out of interest because I'm going to see it again tomorrow evening and bringing my brother in law who knows more than me about gun and would be nice to have a figure in my head there might be room for negotiations

If you can get it for about the 400 mark, It would be a good deal.
These were the entry level, or workman like AyA, as you will see by the machining marks on the barrels, although the action on mine is much more nicely finished, machining wise.
The link above gives the year dates, just in case the seller claims its a lot newer than it is. throwing up a picture of where the date code is on mine.
Mine is H2, which translates as 1988.
If it fits you nicely, and both ejectors work properly, and the selective trigger works correctly ( check using snap caps) then why not let your heart rule your head and buy it!
Are there any extra choke tubes with it, and the proper choke tube wrench?

Hope you can read this. Might have to enlarge it. UK price list, Jan 1984. The Yeoman O/U not listed, so probably only introduced later years. The coral O/U start at £888, which is £100 more expensive than the No2 S/S sidelock. While the Yeoman S/S ejector is listed at £288.75

just out of curiosity would the chokes usually be sold with a m/c shotgun?

Most Multi-choke guns would come standard with 3 chokes, usually covering IC, Mod & Full. This selection is dependant on the style of gun weather trap, sporting / game. Other higher end guns may come with 4 even 5 covering more choices of choke or even providing a matching pair as seen in Skeet.

If the gun is short chokes be wary as replacement Chokes can be expensive or impossible to get. Therefore a slightly dearer gun with a full set may in the long term be better value.

If your going for purely a game gun, chokes with less restriction such as IC or Mod will cover decoying and upland shooting, this will cover most sporting clays as well. Mod & Full or I/MOD & Full will cover pass / high driven shooting as well as DTL.
