In all that time I saw exactly ONE nib Belgium A-5 3" Mag that came from the factory with a 28" VR barrel; the man I sold it to still has it. He did a lot of pit hunting for Canada geese and was an ardent duck hunter as well. My brother (a good friend of his) and I have tried to buy it back from him a number of times, and his answer is always the same: "Talk to my kids when I die!".
I kinda thought this Mag 12 would be nice for geese and of course DEER . But the goose thing will always be on the back burner if I have a 10 gauge side by side that's not knocked off a goose in my hands 🙄
