Bill:
Yeah, I'd really like to hear from him too; after repeated phone messages left and numerous unanswered e-mails sent to him, I was left to work through my Browning A-5 addiction completely on my own, the afterward forced dispersal of my rarest guns (short-chambered 16 ga. w/ 25.5" solid rib and CYL barrel; A-5 Special for Pigeons), and rehab program all on my own with no help from him. He lured me into the pre-war 2 9/16 chamber genre, then bunkered down and dummied up for more intricately detailed technical info on the wonderful guns. The only way I came out of it without drugs was ordering the 1929 A-5 shop manual, which allowed me to school myself on the complete disassembly and subsequent assembly of the mechanism. Once I could do it twice in a row and have no parts left over, I knew I was good to go. Incidentally, I never bought off on the new job responsibilities and the Cobra replica car as the reason he went mute; my money's on him having found an FN A-5 Grade 5 32" solid rib 3" Magnum straight grip gun. (Jeff, if I'm right and want to be forgiven, bring it to Baltimore). Dean: All 4 of them? |

And he had the best close-up pics of how to tell an original short-chambered 16 ga. A-5 vs. one that had been modified from 2 9/16" to 2 3/4". Thanks, Jeff!

Jeff had some very serious health and family issues. I talked to him last about two years ago. His health was improving but his interest in guns and shooting had waned drastically. Glad to hear he made the news and is doing well.
