Well 3 Macs as much as I like and respect you to consider those I bolded over an A-5?? You poor, poor man you are slipping terribly with aging!! It’s ok though by the time your new favorite thing will be the tapioca pudding served on thursday night at the manor you’ll have forgotten all about having owned those clunky sheet metal, alloy and tupperware semi’s and of course you’ll think when we talk about your Belgian Sweet 16 we’re referring to your first sweetheart likely and start reminiscing about her as you dribble your tapioca?!! :p

They never fit me right spank and shouldered like a log. All I could see was that big hump. Like a barrel with a polychoke IMO
Not saying they were not good guns or well designed just not for everybody
I hope I never get to the pudding stage and die trying to swinging a superx1 :) but not a trap model LOL

Cheers

It is all a matter of how you take care of your stuff. That truck has hauled every 18" and under rock in my yard and tons of gravel, top soil and compost

Looks like your A5 is what Browning considers to be a Mod choke. Pattern it and you may find it's closer to full though Belgian guns tend to be choked right but what you really need to do is mic the bore and the choke. It's the difference between the two that will determine choke. Not all guns are bore sized the same. I think you will end up hating this gun so I will buy it off you for $500 but that's only cuz I like ya. Yes, I'm a humpback fan always have been. The only one I own right now is a "new build" A5 Sweet 16 with the 26" barrel. Neat gun, crazy light but it is nowhere near the workmanship and quality of those beautiful Belgian Auto 5's.
