I took mine, a light 20 gauge but no vent rib made in the 60’s to a sporting clays range last week. It was my first shotgun that I purchased. My second one was a Parker 16 on light frame………wish I never sold it.
At just about at every station it was the topic of conversation as most of the shooters had one but regretted selling it years ago.
They are really nice to handle.

I have had pristine early A-5 20s and Sweet 16s, but was tempted by astronomical resale prices and let them all go, one at a time. Now all I have is A-5 12s, one a near mint early fifties plain barrel IC choke and a thirties solid rib Cutts gun with a Parsons magazine and wonderful English Walnut stock and forearm. Aside from its collector interest, it is a scary home defense weapon with nine shot capacity.

I like them as well. This 1966 has two barrels and is in an Airways case.

I like the A5 light 20's also. Here is my 1959 Light 20 with a 28" vent ribbed barrel with the correct barrel address. I also have a mint 1961 Sweet Sixteen with two correct barrel addressed barrels, both 26" vent ribbed. One choked Mod, and the other Cyl. Please pardon the work bench pictures
