Best review on browning a5 on utube, great job young man! You might try pulling bolt back to locked position before removing barrel; takes away all tension on magazine tube spring resulting in ease of removing and replacing barrel, just a little tip from an 80 year old man whose favorite shotgun of all time is the amazing A5, the the engraving of John Browning isn’t worn from age but came that way from the factory, I’m a collector of the A5 so seen many many A5s. Thanks for taking the time to educate folks about the Belgium A5.

@user-sx9hu2nl8t While I was in the Vietnam War, my first wife bought me this gun new from a gunshop in Santa, Ana, CA for when I returned from duty. It was the Browning Auto-5 Magnum with 30" barrel, ventilated rib, and full choke. It was only used for lead shot. She told me she paid $279 for it new in the box. It served me very well for many years until Steel Shot came along. Unfortunately, my second wife (and listen-up men) decided to sell ALL my guns behind my back without even talking to me about it. Besides this Browning, 6 others were sold for a pittance to a gun dealer, including my Original Mauser Model 66 in 30-06 caliber with 2.5-8X Bosch & Lomb scope. That one alone was worth several thousand dollars. I divorced her because of her behavior and she has suffered ever since.

If it says 2 3/4" on the barrel, it's not a magnum. The black or gold triggers seems to be just how the guns came some times. I like the look of the gold as it feels a bit more classic to me.

Love how you mentioned these seems to be everyone's "grandfather's guns". That is the case for me, my grandpa passed when I turned one and through the years his A5 20 Magnum and 12 has worked their way down to me. I cherish those two guns but don't get to enjoy them often as I want to keep them in as good of condition as possible. Anybody have opinions on this dilemma? Having a set of guns that mean so damn much and are too beautiful to even want to hunt with them, even though they are some of the most durable guns around.

As u've taken a lot of time n effort to find this A5 in an almost pristine condition w no scratches, i suggest u take ur ring off. I've seen too many stocks scratched up esp. on the forearm edges, pistol grips, and also on the metal. Bracelets, ear rings, neckless, cow rings on ur nostrils etc. But it's OK to have a ring on ur tongue and esp. i recommend for all audience to place shackles locked on ur ankles while holding a pristine gun w a beautiful furniture. Bc. the young ones today do nut treasure wood furniture, going for plastic guns, don't let dem buy guns w wood on dem. They'll burn the wood so they can replace dem w composite mat'l (a fancy name for cheap plastic). I also suggest 4 audience never to scratch/scribe ur ID (e.g., B-Day, name, SS#, etc.) on any part of ur gun. It's really disheartening to reject otherwise a beautiful gun. U don't live forever. Ur wifee will trash ur guns whn ur gone. So, just write ur na n phn # on a piece of maskng tape on exposed rcvr or bttttttstk. The ID is for honest ppl who wld return dem 2u. Crooks n dirty ppl will take ur toy gun regardless of scribed ID or nut (not). Again, don't wear rings to scratch up ur pristine gun.

@benpody
Жыл бұрын
Since this is the Magnum, yes. It likes heavier loads. With the "light load setup" this one still won't cycle 1 1/8 oz loads well. I typically shoot 3" 1 1/2 oz loads. Doesn't recoil all that much either as this is driven by the recoil so the action soaks up a lot of the kick before it gets to your shoulder.

Just a tip for getting the 3 inch guns to shoot the light loads better. Buy a spring for the 2 3/4 inch gun and replace the big 3 inch spring with the spring for the 2 3/4 inch gun and set the fraction rings for light loads and it will shoot all day with no problem. You can buy the springs on line and they are relatively cheap.
