My dad has had a gun like this for maybe 40 years. He doesn't miss a bird if it is flying in front of him. (maybe him... maybe the gun.. ) a sweet gun that is very high quality. The looks are killer too. So I went to the pawn shop to look for a mosin nagant to add to my collection... and saw a couple browning auto 5's. Wow.. one was in great shape... refinished stock and a poly choke on it.. $600. The other is much older. They want $850. Both light twelves. the $850 one is ok.. nice shape. the $600 one is obviously restored. Rather poorly. But in GREAT mechanical shape. The stocks have been refinished.. and I can do better. The screws on a browning have locking screws to keep the main screws in place. The guy didn't put them in the right place.. so some work for me. No big deal. The bore is shinny and perfect. A lot of people don't like the poly chokes. I think they are great. A couple of clicks and you can have a totally different gun. My dad has to change barrels lol. I am really looking forward to getting into pheasant hunting again.. now to find a hunting place....Now if photobucket will let me copy pictures here.. I will post it. Anyone have any ideas why I am having problems with photobucket?

 

OK.. here it is. Photobucket changed something.. and it makes no sense.

 

nice piece . I've got a gold hunter myself. But ,would love to have a good A5 .

 

very nice and for a good price. I just bought a savage 300win mag for myself for christmas. but id love a semi auto. only one ive seen in left handed is a benelli though and its 1500 bux

 

I've got a A-5 Magnum Twelve with invector choke tubes. It is almost too pretty to take duck hunting though. I don't have the heart to screw in some sling holders.
