Both in original condition. The 1962 and older guns were rust blued and had the reddish stocks, both of which I prefer.
I had kinda gotten over the A-5 thing and had pared them down to just a MAG12 . But they started this pre 1960 event at Rock Mountain so I bought some more guns mostly 11’s but two more A-5’s . The standard weight 16 with the funky safety will most likely go down the road but a couple three months ago I picked up a circa 1969 A-5 20 Magnum , I actually like the later flat knob guns a skoosh more . This ones 26” IC .
