Not sure why !
 

I just picked up a rather nice Browning A-5 circa 1970 20 gauge 26" IC at about 98%+. Guy even had the owners manuel with it ! Wish he'd had the box . Not sure what if anything I'll use this for . Not much on picking up hulls at the skeet field . So we shall see .

If it's a 16 or 20, you've got one of the best bird guns ever produced. If it's a 12 bore--well--same comment! Enjoy.

I have been real tempted by a Model 12 Heavy Duck recently. I have an Auto 5 two barrel set with original box in 12 gauge.

:rotf: i've been passed tempted by a heavy duck twice lately - had to send both back for undisclosed issues

the right one will show up some day

I've owned a few 12's and Sweet 16's over the years . Back in my youth I thought an A-5 was the pooh for a dove field gun , now not so much .

We have an A-5 12 mag here I keep vascillating on . And I always come to the conclusion for what little waterfowlung I do my arsenal of Short 10's has that covered 😉

That's actually the second Browning I picked up in the last month. I had a rather nice little Chalkenger 6 3/4" (I believe it is ) fall in my lap a few weeks ago . Again looks to be 97%+ and was made in 1967 .

I have an A5 in 12 ga with buck barrel and bird barrel. Couldn't resist buying it. Everyone should have one in their safe

I was kinda in a dither a year or two back to get a A-5 12 mag with the factory swivels as on the Brushmaster or Buckmaster or whatever it was Browning called the slugger with sights swivels etc.

Stopped at a Garage sale a couple of years back and noticed quite a bit of Turkey Hunting stuff in the garage also a few mounted Turkeys so I ask ,you don't happen to have any Old Double Guns laying around you would want to sell do you ? He didn't , but in the conversation he mentioned a pair of A5 Brownings he and his brother got in 1967 for Christmas Gifts ! His was well used but his brothers which he now owned and showed me was Brand New unfired and still in the original Box with all the Paper work ! His was a bit nicer to my eye a little darker wood with more figure and the other lighter more like a Dark Maple look with Dark straight grain figure ! Neither was for sale !
