Blind pig finds two acorns!

Scored these two old classics the other day. Both unfired. 1946 L.C. Smith Ideal Grade 12ga. 1953 Browning Auto 5 12 ga. Plus a 1928 Model 12 12 ga. used by the same man. His son told me that his Dad brought many a mallard down with the Model 12.

Nice Auto-5! Some people don't like them, but I love a plain barrel on them.

Have you taken the front stock off the A5 yet to see if the ring adjustment paper is still under there?
Thanks for sharing,

Haha. I'll get in that line!

Lovely guns! The Auto 5 is a fantastic firearm. Make sure you put a small amount of lube on the magazine tube. It will run like a champ forever if you keep it lightly lubricated.
