Just bought a 20 ga A5 Browning

One of our club members had a virtually untouched 20 ga Browning A5 for sale this weekend. While I've been a sxs guy all my life I have always had a soft spot for Browning A5's. Just couldn't resist. Came with all chokes. I paid our club member $800 for it which I thought was a good deal. Immediately shot a round of skeet with it, 20 out of 25. In as much as my dad and uncles would turn over in their Graves knowing that I bought a semi automatic, I just had to have it. Love the sound of the action closing! Thank you Browning for making so many fine guns.

John Browning designed and a whole lot of fun to shoot. I own four Remington Model 11's. Nice pick up.

I love the A5s and always failed to understand complaints about the recoil, which resulted in so many of them having the beautiful horn butt plate cut off of the Belgium guns and an ugly White-Line pad being added. Except for the 12 magnum which one had no choice. The guns being steel are so much heavier than other semi-autos that in my opinion I don't even notice the recoil.

When I remember quail hunting on Eastern Shore in the 80s I kick myself for ever letting go of my Auto 5 20 gauge. Invector barrel and iron sight smoothbore slug barrel. That gun hit everything it pointed!! Allen, you got a very good buy, there!

That must be a later model made in Japan if it interchangeable chokes?

I have my dads 20 a5 he left to me. I was with him in 1975 when he bought it at the kittery trading post in maine. He always love his a5s he had a 12 ga mag. Too.

The 1st gun I purchased was a used A-5 light 20 in 1968. Great gun.
I still have it and still shoots great!
Shot a few rounds of skeet with it about a month ago.
Most people have an issue with the barrel movement.

I love Browning auto 5s. My first “real” gun was a Remington model 11 20 gauge. Still have it. When I could afford the Belgian Brownings I acquired one of each gauge. Good price on your’s. Mine are all 1963 models. All Auto 5s are great guns. Historical time piece. Enjoy!

As a kid I thought A-5’s were it and wanted one . In later life got a Lite 12 , Lite 20 , a couple 12 MAG’s and a 20 MAG all Belgium made . Also got into model 11’s a few years back and at one point had six three 20’s , two 12’s and a 16 . Truth be told I shot the 11’s a good bit more than the Brownings and actually thought the 11’s felt a bit better in my hands . But regardless I liked them both .
