Blast from the Past, Jeff Mulliken

[Kevin McCormack]

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?
